The <FONT COLOR="ff0000">1 face towel</FONT> is those tradition one with some pattern and the Xi is printed on one.
Those <FONT COLOR="ff6000">1 dozen face towels</FONT> was requested by my hubby's grandmother, she said have to put those towels in my wardrobe.

Hi Val,
Haha let me see the photos first, nice I show, not nice better not lah. Actually both hairdos I like, I've got quite a few pieces of accessories - tiaras, flowers, so my makeup artiste played around with them. I had different hairdos for my cheongsam/kua and evening wear. Basically for evening wear, just let down totally.
Maybe can try different hairdos for morning and evening. Maybe morning tie up, banquet time let down or something like tat.
As for your friend, I think you'd better discuss with your parents, though I suppose ultimately it's your choice. Parents give us their advice for our good also lor. Whether to believe or not, still up to us lah.

Anybody have any slightest idea on what are we suppose to do during the Guo Da Li day? Do we have to 'hide' cos I seemed to hear different procedures from other ex-brides.

hi gemi,
do show your photos to us!!! glad that u enjoyed your photoshoot, i'm getting all excited too, (tomorrow is my photoshoot)!
hi val,
guess it all depends on whether you're "pantan" or not. cos if you really wanted your friend to go and you don't mind abt the 3 mths befoe and after thing, then i guess its alright loh. but if want to play safe, then maybe you can send her your wedding favor or something??
hey corrie,
guess great minds really think alike!!! another thing to add though we're not having our weddings in the same church, is that i'm also a methodist!! i'm with GMC.
Berypig,
where are you??

Hee hee... have not booked the caterer yet but more or less confirm which 1 i wana use lor. I won't be catering for my side cos i dun have many relatives. So the catering will be only at my in-laws house. Yeap, the food mainly for ah yees, xiong dis and relatives.
I also planned to bring my mum along to OG to choose her clothes. But if she can't find anything suitable , then i dunno which place to bring her liao.
Val, i think if ur bridal shop were to provide, sld be quite exxagerate cheong sum right? Ur mum likes to wear or not? If not, then better bring her to OG or other places...
Gals... how about suits for father? Will ur bridal shop be providing or will u all go n tailor made 1 for ur dad?

Hi angelia (angph38),
My photos is in my website! If you've not seen it, it's at www.geocities.com.sg/happilywedd
(click on profile).
I hope we'll meet next outing too or any other time. We'll be more free after Nov, then, maybe we can meet one-to-one, or couple-to-couple or group meeting.

If let's say our mother go 'hiding', who's going to receive those guo da li stuff? Can the bride receives it? Anther question: Also heard that hubby cannot come to our house with the matchmaker, the matchmaker and a helper will bring those stuff to the bride's house? very confusing now leh, too many different customs floating around.

yeah berypig,
of course its not me lah!!!!!! hai yohh!!!! hmmm..what are you doing in the pregnancy thread har????
ok, i'll remember what u told me: ask the photographer to take angles of me not so fat right??
see i heed ur advice...kekeke...
me also haven't confirm caterer, but mine is for church one.
val,
wedding favors are small little gifts that you would want to give to your guests as a token of "thank you". the common ones are potpurri, candles, chocolates, candies.etc..
ok, i'll try to enjoy tomorrow, hope its good weather..
hmm..u gals are fortunate, my mum not around anymore, so don't have the opportunity to choose clothes for her.. OG is a good option among mums, also can consider tailor-made for her if you have the budget. berypig, usually the bridal package provide coat for father too right? do check it out with them..
too bad hor, we can't invite each other to our weddings. may i suggest we have an outing/meeting after our wedding!! how abt that???
seems like dec brides this yr quite little compared to other months. (look at other months thread, very happening one!)
so we must come in here more often!!

starfruit,
the ang baos r used to be given out to our ah yees and helpers etc. Decided not give the guests together with the invitation cards cos not many ppl will be able to accept this unless of course they request to have one.
angelia,
no problem to give each of you 1 ang pao should i've remaining ang baos which i think i'll have.
Actually it's not really ang bao.... it's pink in colour actually.
not fantastic though. doesn't have multicolours like those u get during CNY.

HI Gals,
This thread is really quiet as compared to other threads. heehee..yar lor...we must come in more often.
Strawberry - Enjoy your photoshoot tomorrow ok? By the way, have you shortlisted on the caterer yet? I am still sourcing for one too. I hope we are not to late leh since we are both catering for church. think most caterer can only do a certain number of weddings per day. I am thinking of using Smiling Orchid, Harvest or Continental Delights.
You are from GMC? Is it The one that is gonna move to Sengkang soon? By the way, have you choosen ur processional, recessional and worship songs? I am also having headache on these. How many bridemaids do you have anyway?

Hi Gals,
Wah..this thread is really growing. Only away for a few hours and so many postings. Been so busy wif work, and my eyebags are terrible.
Strawberry,
You will definitely enjoy your shoot - remember to smile just b4 your photographer click. Aiyo. Many times I smiled too early, so by the time he clicked, my smile turned "plastic" already, according to Robin - meaning very fake.
My cheongsam is actually my EG from Allure. I got another EG outside. Allure lent the kwa to me. I'm planning to have three gowns for the banquet - WG, EG, and Cheongsam. Do you think that's too much? Aiyo..must get money worth leh...spend so much must utilise to the fullest
I am trying to find tailor too. My friend recommended me one but dunno good or not. Also tailor recommends to do fast, cos nearing end of year/new year, they have a lot of orders, and may not be able to get the gowns for mothers by wedding.
Anyway, time to go home...very tired. Actually just came back from a short trip to Phuket, was very refreshed, but battery running out fast. For those that need to do suits, Thailand is real cheap. One friend did 2 jackets, 2 pants, 2 shirts and dunno wat for about 500 bucks.
