hi liz,
wah seh, the hotel really too much. how can they be so rude to your sis???!!!
they are also very dishonest to keep that bottle of liq.
i have heard of such horror stories before. some hotels may keep ur liq and bluff that the liq had finished and persuade you to buy from them but u end up buying ur own liq back.
remember i mentioned that i had some minor hippcups during my wedding? i din want to mention but since we are on the topic and also to warn other brides, i dun mind sharing a bit....
me and hubby were very angry when we heard that the hotel had opened a barrel of beer without our consent. they tried to justify that by saying that our guests requested for it. the barrel was not finished eventually. we heard from our frens that the waitors were going round asking ppl to drink beer. that meant the barrel would have been less empty.
we did pay for the beer eventually since we know some of our guests really requested for the beer.
i din want that to spoil my wedding so both myself and hubby decided to let the matter rest and that allowed us to enjoy our honeymoon too.
let what i said before, nothing can be perfect. we can choose to remember the horrible stuff and ruin our sweet memories but me and hubby decided to stay cheerful. being angry wont change anything either.
so liz, dun let other ppl affect you.
i was rather upset when i received bad comments on my wedding photos but i realise that wedding is a happy affair, i should not allow other ppl to destroy the wonderful memories of my sweet wedding.
take care and stay cheerful!

Hi Enid,
If you want, can go to the China Square area to take photos...where they have the old buildings..
For me, won't be taking any outdoor shooting cos no idea indoor place as we are both staying far away from the town area.
Hi Obride,
Mine is included in the bridal package. For the hand bouquet i got for ROM last time cost me abt $80 bucks. U may want to check with the florist. Think should be around $150 max for everything.

Jen,
Men and women are different (if u read Mars and Venus, it should help u to understand a bit more).
'No hug', 'No shoulder to cry on': This is MAN ! I'm oso 'like that one' if me and my wife have conflict similar to yours. What matters is, my wife sms me the next morning trying to patch up with me. I don't immediately reply sms because I'm still sort-of-angry with her, but deep inside me, I know I want to FORGET it and make peace. I feel a phone call is better (more loving) than sms. And I (men) need a few hours to cool down despite she initiate peacemaking.
A few ways that may help:
one, be silent for a while (maybe half an hour) when u realise talk has become hot (shouting or argument).
If FH does not accept yr money to pay for cake etc, he has high ego (that is a barrier to marriage). Make him understand you and him are now ONE, what u have is all his (and vice versa). Must mention what he has is yours too to make him feel HE HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER, not just take from you. Maybe you need to make this comment a few times then he'll try to accept this fact that u're now ONE, not 2 individuals anymore.
Also, try checking his wallet (if that is ok with him) and if there is less than 10 bucks, put in a hundred and later tell him "dear, I know u have no time to draw money, so I place some in it", oso "in case urgent matter like I am in hospital, u need some money to rush down to hospital in a cab' etc.
'shown black face cos he say his parents cannot afford' - think positive, 'he is a filial son'. Transfer some money into his account and advice him to give to his mother as allowance to his mother. He may think he chose the right woman for a wife being care for his mother. (Man's ego conflict with money-no-enough, more complicated if he is filial and has an temper).
Anoher trick: persuade him to open an joint account, he put a hundred ach month in and u put more, maybe $300, then when he needs it or his mom needs it, persuade him nicely to use the money in this account. It's easy if both of u has a POSB a/c and the joint a/c is oso POSB, by using internet fund transfer.
'where to get the cakes also want to argue' - if u call it argue, then both of u shd calm down and talk, not argue on such a trivial matter.
'too many boxes also want to argue', 'bride price also want to argue' - money problem again. Understand his man's ego (for money is very serious matter to a man).
Above suggestions may or may not be of help.
PS: Kids do not try them at home as I am specially trained to deal with men. heehee.

Hey! Blossom/Liz,
Thanks so much for sharing!..
I also keeping my fingers cross .. can't imagine wat hiccups i wld have on that day..
ANyway, i'm mentally prepared if the hotel were to be nasty.. Even now my banquet mgr is trying to be so strict till i cannot tahan.. Some of the things like dessert they cannot cham-xiong one..
I got a table w 10adults with one kid.. As my dessert is served individually (western style) i merely ask the mgr is it possible to spare one more plate of dessert for the kid, the mgr say "is better that u arrange them to sit other table, we may not have enuf... " In my mind i was thinking .. how much does a plate of dessert cost?!
U know hor.. yesterday nite i fall sick.. my turn to get fever.. So i took 2 panadols and slept early.. Not to worry now feelin better..But my mood abit spoil due to work.. Hoping i could clear them as soon as possible.. Tonite going to CC fitting..
Hey ladies.. Really nice chatting to both of u.. Think we really ought to meet up after my honeymoon.. By the way, i work till today.. would be off Thur/Fr .. Monday would be back to work..
Mean while thanks all for the blessing & wishes.. I also look forward to a beautiful & Happy wedding celebration this sat..
Cheers!
