[kiroro]

Hi Sweet,
I have done with food tasting liao. Parents and us are happy with the food, just hoping that they maintained the standard on the actual day. Will be meeting up with the co-ordinator next week for the finalisation......

Hi Bird Bird,
Unfortunately,we are the only couple that is going to get wed on OLPS that day. So we will have to bear the full cost for the flowers. Anyway, we had Father Geogary to be our celebrant... Our wedding services is at 12pm, so will serve lunch reception thereafter. Decided not to print church program as OLPS can use the projector to project the powerpoint slides. In the midst of confirming the songs with the choir....Yeah, world is small..the couple assigned to us, is my FH primary school classmate.... And the Choir PIC is my FH primary school teacher.....! Still somemore coincidence...the choir organist is my old class mate...Small world indeed !

 

[bigbird]

Hi Kiroro,

Hee...Hee....

, I'm like u, thinking of not printing Mass Booklet, save cost, only print song sheets... cos at OLPS we can use the projector / powerpoint slides. Father John Lee is my celebrant. But still have to prepare a simple booklet for him & the choir. Easier for them to follow. Have not done the catering & flowers yet, we 2 couples will have to meet up soon to decide on color of flowers & the caterer. Easier this way.....

Hi Priviledged,

[taddess]

Hi all,

Are all of you excited? My wedding will be a month later! I can't wait to get it over with and go for my honeymoon. Sat down with my hotel today and settled on the theme and had some clarification with them.

Glad that now my FH also feels the heat. Has started to be more proactive with wedding preparations.

By the way does any of you have contacts for wine? If you do let me know. May provide wine instead of hard liquor instead.


Thanks

 

[jbride]

wendy,

how's your eyes? better now? dun worry abt the PS 1st...health is more important...maybe u'd wanna postpone your PS until u get better huh...

Take care!

 

[ally]

hi gals!

I'm back from my retreat! wow, it's been a really wonderful and positive experience... it affirmed the love between my FH and me and deepened our relationship, as well as prepare us for the reality of marriage

really recommend that all wedding couples go for marriage preparation courses if they can.

heh heh, can't wait to see them

hi shir... looks like ur love nest is shaping up nicely

is ur place all done up and ready? think i'm gonna be the last one to get my place ready, still waiting for my keys

well, have a good nite gals! i'm gonna turn in early

 

[serene]

Hi ladies,
My PS was smooth one though I think I smile more awkward for the shots in studio cos not used to heavy makeup, false eyelashes and gowns..plus the lightings lor...enjoyed it much when it was outdoor, luckily it didn't really rain...
Went to Sentosa and Boat quay (nite shots)

Finally settle one thing..
My advice: No need to bring lots of things..have plenty of rest the day before..bring water and tissue..no need powder etc..no time for lunch or outdoor touch up..rem to bring some musli bars etc to munch for lunch..that wat I had till dinner at 8pm!

kk, jus: Enjoy yr PS! It is fun as you get used to the different posing and yr million watts smile

Still feel like a dreamy feeling too

Hehehe

 

[lobangking]

hi tadness,

I've contact with a california wine distributor. if u interested, can leave ur email?

 

[dk]

Wen,
How's your PS going with Memphis?

Finally, i've manage to place a deposit with them last Fri. But i'm rather puzzled.....though the date is blocked but wasn't any contract not did we sign on the proposal. Did u had one with them?
Were there a reciept issue for the deposit you paid for?

Would it be convenient if i call you, tomorrow?

 

[wendyl]

hi Dec brides,

My eyes swelling liao,i think last week,seems always rubbing my eyes,n i think it cos it to be swollen lor.

I think i will be gtg for my Ps on wed.
Thanks for all your concerns.


Wendy

 

[kk]

Hi Serene,

Dun worry about ur smiles

I heard brides saying they smile awkwardly cos they felt uneasy with the makeup but the photos unexpectedly turn out very nice

Thank U! Really excited today, cos it is the day tomorrow!!! kekekeee.... i am bringing quite a lot of things for studio shoot cos bringing some soft toys along. But then guess can throw them at the bridal shop, then pick them up when i am back from outdoor shoot

 

[pooh]

Hi lobangking,

can i have the contact also? Thanks

[piper]

Hi Wendy,

If ur eyes still swelling tomorrow, think you better re-schedule your ps. Dun think you'd want to look puffy eyes in ur "once-in-a-lifetime" photos.

But still hope u'll be able to recover in time & share ur PS experience wif us.

[priviledged]

Hi Bigbird, we're having our dinner at the Regent. We've been writing our cards and calling friends this weekend. Very fun!

Our renovations should be starting today, taking delivery of some stuff this morning. My wonderful Fiance is 'camping' at the new flat this morning waiting for the deliveries and supervising the HDB contractors who are coming to rectify the faults before my ID firm starts.

 

[kk]

Hi Fishball,

HI Hi!! Long time never chat.. kekee...

My hubby say take cab go WA, cannot take bus liao. hahahahaa... if not, take bus from sengkang to WA would be super fast

So far only 2 bags lor, we can still manage on our own .. kekeekee...

[delannie]

Hi all,

I'm feeling very down now....sorry to have used this thread to pour out my frustration! My Guo Da Li is next week.. my MIL &amp; mum seems to have a communication breakdown..or rather my MIL seems to have added words to my mum's mouth... now my mum is so upset with her...

Why can't a wedding be done in a happier &amp; less hassle way? I wonder in the future how are they going to talk

I felt that i have been sandwiched

 

[kk]

Hi Amerline,

Have u selected ur photos? kekeke... sorrie for asking cos sometimes i tend to lose track of wat we are talking here

I will be wearing my rom shoes about 2.5 inch. Still pretty ok. My feet are very adaptable to open toe shoes. But i can't say the same thing to close toe shoes.. hahaa.. that's why i have gotten myself all open toe shoes for wedding.

I scared to walk barefoot leh. I always feel i might step onto something on the beach.. kekeke..

 

[soyabean]

hi delannie...
dun be sad... communication breakdowns are not uncommon.

we jus hv to learn to deal with it. and jus explain to ur mum dat your mil did not reali understand wat was said and told.

i m sure on the day itself, everything will turn out fine.

 

[totoro]

Hi Delannie,

It can be real frustrating ya to be torn between two people. ....sometimes, try to say nice things or cover up...heehee for the both parties lor....

cheer up..and take it easy. and be happy

 

[leo29]

Espresso,

My company originally work 5 1/2 days but had change it to 5 days. This is an extra for the staffs so we are not entitle to have replacement off if PH falls on sat.

 

[amerline]

hi kk,

suppose to go select photos this week, but i postpone to 2nd week of June coz my FH having his exams.

i was too tired balancing on my heels till i decided to risk all by going barefoot. heehee can't imagine the actual day. whole day in 4 inches heels can die

u have lots of fun 2molo and tell us all abt it k?

 

[kk]

Hi Amerline,

Oh, how long ur shop takes to come out with the samples?

Yah after ps, guess we will look forward to photo selection

Heeee, yah i heard we will be in shoes for the whole day.. kekeeke.. that will be really tiring! Guess we will have phobia for heels ya? hahahaa...

Of course will share experience with all here

Hope everything is fine. Now constantly monitoring weather.. hahahaa... am more paranoid about the weather nowadays

 

[yi]

halo flowee,

of coz i remember stitchie is an Oct baby and a mth older than cookie. =P but coz i read from bks
tat they wld start having menses at 8mths so i tot
stitchie is having it real sooner than others loh.

yap, think it is more advisable to spay cookie as
we bring her out quite often and when we meet up
with my friend's MS which is a male, itz safer 2
as my friend's MS is not neutered yet.
the last time i'm at the clinic, the vet says we
can spay cookie at 6mths so we thinking either
end of this mth or early next mth lor.
wat abt you? thinking of spaying stitchie?

cookie is fully paper-trained already coz when we
left her at my il's place last sat until evening
coz we went out to the sea with our friends, she
pee on the newspapers all the times thus making
her easy to babysit i guess. =P
she also very well-behaved that my sil who is
afraid of dogs, even volunteered to babysit for
us. hehehehe

yap, i think stitchie will be smaller than cookie
coz she is taiwan breed whereas cookie is
australian breed, thus bigger.
cookie is quite tall like me. hahahahaha

aiyo, poor stitchie, but i guess MS is really
prone to skin problems hor? cos cookie also have
small pumps on her body, so gonna put ointment and
bathe her in medicated shampoo once every 4 days
as prescribed.

 

[fishball]

hi kk,
yes, enjoy yourselves! Relax your facial muscles today (try not to smile AT ALL the whole day!), then tmrw grin as long as u can, ok? hahaha...

hi Amerline,

yes, I'm letting go some extras. Are you sure you want to give those to yr helpers? I think they are more suitable as favours leh... I think it'll be more personalised if you make gifts for your helpers instead, or buy personalised gifts to what they would like/need. Wat abt the 'bouquet' you showed us?

 

[ally]

hi vivace... the course i went for was organised by my church

if u're a christian, can consider asking ur church about such courses. most churches do organise marriage preparation courses for their members. if u want more details about the course i went to, i can email u

alternatively, there are such courses organised by community organisations in conjuction with MCDS too. currently, there is a free 3h online marriage preparation course by fei yue, supported by MCDS. u can find out more about the course from the link below:
