[corie]

Hi Gals,

I had been really busy these few days ...with drawing up the guests list and getting my parents to write the invitation cards....

Just collected my accessories for my WG and EG yesterday....really love them...heehee...intending to get a bracelet to match my EG too.

Strawberry - Have you draft out your order of service yet? I am drafting out now for my pastor to approve. If I have the time, think I might jolly well print it out myself lor.....think a simple one will do. How about u? What worship songs will you be using?

Berypig - Buy pyjamas?? For your wedding or for personal use? Arcade got sell pyjamas??

 

[angelia]

Hi Gals,

I heard that usually for newly-weds we should also get some new clothes for the wardrobes. As guests may open your wardrobes. Also you need to wear new clothes for the 1st few days after the wedding.

Do you know about this?

The pyjamas should be wear the nite before wedding right? I only buy for myself leh... must my husband wear pyjamas also?

 

[bluechin]

angelia,
How was your meeting with daniel?

 

[strawberry]

hi corie and val,
the pyjamas is for the wedding nite lah, or some pple also wear that in the morning when the make-up artist goes to your house and do your make-up.
cos its a brand new beginning for you and hubby, so its believed that everything must be new, just like new year, bedsheets new, pillow new, gemi is correct, also have to have some new clothes.

i guess guest list is the most headache one, got to spend more time on that!

here goes my checklist to share:
songs selection
menu for catering
accessories
pyjamas
guest list
programme sheet (corie, i have not done mine yet)
bedsheet

still have some small little things to confirm here and there. gan cheong already!!

hi chemson,
welcome back!

how are u doing? nowadays, all the other gals never come in liao. feel rather lonely at times.

 

[chemson]

hi chemson,

okie..

BZ with work and like u... I come into the forum very regularly...

guess when you are married... you have less time to visit the forum..

I am still around..

 

[storm]

hi chemson,

my dinner was at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront. And I got my wedding gown from J&amp;M Bridal &amp; Photography...didn't get an EG from them, supposed to have an off the rack EG, but in exchange we got three extra suits, one for dad, dad-in-law and bro-in-law....GC is a very nice hotel....what colour was your best friend's cheong sam?

 

[blossom]

hi chemson,
i see. actually i will come to the forum every day while working. heehee... i will just flip to the forum for a while then flip back to the work im doing. sounds like my work not bad hor, can allow me to eat snake like that.

i remember in my ex-co, i dun have internet access so i only come into the forum when im at home. even then, i may not come in becos might be too tired.

after the wedding, much more time to come in but most gals are not here anymore. glad that at least there is u around.
