[meow]

Shirlynn,
My condolences to you 2. Feel free to let me know if you need any help too.

DK,
I've sent the mail to you liao.

Feb,
Same same, me also hope it won't rain. Rain also hope it rain in the morning like today.

Lkf,
Thanks.

Yeah hear comments on the hood is quiet(true, i hear it lor) and suction is strong. Technogas is an old brand. Me still looking lor. But if i dun take package, it won't be very cheap leh, especially if its 2 diff company

 

[1027]

hmm, actually i think the main things would be guest list, programme, buy wine / liqour, song list, appoint photographer / videographer, helpers list of things to do, appoint caterer (lunch / church), honeymoon etc. maybe start to prepare the ang pows also?

some things that can be done in advance should try to do first, else last minute alot of things to do.

at this point, some of us may be interested in doing montage, so got to start looking for friend / professional to work on it early, or else DIY lor.

i thot must start looking for honeymoon already.
actually looking at my wedding expenses, i may just end up in kusu island for a day-trip honeymoon! hahahahhahaha!!!

 

[stressed]

Jus ahh...

Allure at Raffles City got sale and their dresses are very nice. Some are nice enuff to be ROM dresses or fancy dinners. If not for the ga-zillion people in the shop, I would have walk way wif some meself !!!

[leo29]

[jus]

Hi 1027,

Yeap, I m also trying to plan for my honeymoon,
Wanted to go somewhere further, but sigh… no more money liao, esp after buying so many extra things…
I m also getting EG for both my mom and MIL…
Just a token of appreciation…
But, that also increases the expenses… sigh…

It’s Monday…
Feeling blue… ; (
Can’t wait for the weekend to come…. Hahaha and it’s only the beginning of the working week…

 

[feb]

Leo

Hahahaha...No lah...I wun be so bao li one lah...Me so xi wen ....Hee Hee..

Ya lah, it's true nobody want to go PS 2 times. Very troublesome-make up, hair do..... Ok, I will pray hard for you two.

 

[kopibean]

Hi Shirlynn,

My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Pls take gd care and let us nov brides know if you need any help.

 

[maya]

who's sparrow? Next earliest is LT, wow, quite near hor? Somehow I don't feel the heat yet, maybe when Jul comes then panic...

 

[cherubies]

hi maya,
sparrow used to come in earlier. now she's not around. see earlier thread (archived).

ya first on the list is LT. that's why she's stressed.

 

[totoro]

Hi gals, rememebr to bring ur perfume and stuff to the hotel ya!!

 

[min]

Shirlynn,

sorry to hear abt that. Take care.

Leo29,
The current promotion is in addition to the Citibank card promotion ler

 

[1027]

hi jus: yah, me too! can't wait for the weekend!
terrible lah .... economy is so bad yet all i can think of is weekend & wedding preps. sigh ... still got 4 more days to go.

what do u have in mind for honeymoon?
read in the papers that US is having monkey pox now.
Initially wanted to go US but coz of (A) monkey pox (B) weak S$ and (C) broke , maybe not going...
but still must think of somewhere interesting to go yet cheap. Hmmmm......

Allure at raffles city quite nice, but sometimes their stuff can be quite un-wearable. Dunno ... maybe its just my taste that differs from theirs. I think it depends on the season; sometimes i can get v nice dresses fr there, sometimes nothing suitable, not even one.

 

[feb]

Leo

Ya hor...hahahaha...dun like tat mah...Monday blue wat...Eyes still not fully opened mah..Hee Hee..I where got thick skin..No lah...If thick skin hor..I wun have those two big pimples popping up liao mah..Now left a mark there..

 

[amore]

feb... ya went to the two places for my PS...er actually 3.... coz the lallang field and the beach beary near... yup got time... we left the studio at abt 3+... back to studio at ard 7...

 

[jus]

Hi 1027,

Yeap, that’s what my FH told me as well…
Fancy thinking of me spending money when times are so bad…. Hahaha

Actually, I should really get out of this cycle…
Before we decided to get married, I have always warned myself to fall into the ‘wedding’ trap (as in wedding focus, but not marriage focus)
Somehow, now, I find myself just concentrating on the wedding prep…
Should really work on building the relationship instead of merely preparing for the wedding…
Sigh…

Do you face this problem?

 

[jus]

Ooppss sorry,
I mean Not to fall into the trap

 

[1027]

hahahahaha jus! My exact sentiments!!!
the wedding is supposed to be a celebration of our getting together, but i'm trapped in the craze of perfecting the wedding!

i think i'm ALREADY in the trap.
some expenses are totally uncalled for, but becoz its once-in a lifetime, i end up succumbing!

jus, you went to Penang for your PS with Albert right? have you chosen your photos?
what was your damage on additional photos?

 

[bride-to-be]

hi shirlynn

My deepest consolences to you & ur family.MY FIL oso passed away on march this yr,then my MIL wanted me to marry within 100 days.i was so lost at tat moment.then i went to the geomancer you long zi to get a date for the big day & he actually told me tat dun need to be in 100 days as long as we r wearing "ha" after the funeral & no tablet place at home(we put it in the temple)

[chicory]

Hi Mrs Quake and ladies,

Me too long time did not post here. Mrs Quake, today is your final fitting, so fast. How was your trial make-up? I have completed my gowns designing, waiting for first fitting in July. You must be really excited about your PS on wed, must share with us your photos, really keen to see Dang's designs for you and Andrew Choi's works too.

 

[kopibean]

hi bride-to-be,

Your PS is already over?
Which photographer did you choose?
Dun be sad...look on the bright side...

 

[serene sng]

Hi gals,

Been busy reading all postings... *almost got a headache*
You guys seem to be getting things done but not me.. so sad...
Why you guys dont go for aqua aerobics?? I have joined & starting on 9/7/03.. Maybe you guys can consider...
My first fitting is on the 10/8/03... got 1 & 1/2 months to lose 10kgs.. hais...

Shirlynn,
My deepest condolences.. Please take of yourself

 

[leo29]

Min,

It's our luck! Too bad!

Bride-To-Be,

Can I call you Bride? Your nick very long lei, lazy to write lah. Orh.... so not BV or TC, i mean the bridal shop that you originally signed up with and not satisfy with them. Maybe you can pour your anger on the Novas-Yahoo.

 

[leo29]

Serene,

What is the different between normal and aqua aerobic?

 

[yve]

Bride-To-Be,
Who is your PS photographer?

 

[ava]

*HUG*

Shirlynn I'm sorry to hear the news, my condolences and sympathy to you.
let us know if we can help you anyway.

take care okie

*hug*

 

[jbride]

hi gals,

yeah, this thread has been so quiet for a while...i guess everyone's bz with fittings & PS ya

My gown design is almost done & will be going for measurement soon...My 1st fitting will be in Jul too...

btw, enya..have u decide on where to make the men's suit? are u going to tessuti?

 

[1027]

yeeks, i just sent my gowns for dry-cleaning.
suddenly it dawned on me that i have just given the laundry man several thousands of dollars worth of clothes, and all i get from him is an invoice.

worse still, the invoice clearly states that the max liability of the dry cleaner is 10times the dry cleaning fees or $200, whichever is lower.

wah liew, each of my outfits cost more than $200!!

my only consolation? that the dry cleaner was highly recommended by my bridal boutique.

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong with any of the items, else i'll be left high and dry (and naked too!) for the wedding day.

 

[jus]

Hi 1027,

Yeap, I m with Albert..
Nope… have not choose the photos yet…
Dun dare to… hahaha…
Have look at them… quite happy with the result…
Dun dare to think the $$$ hee hee

Agreed agreed…
Once in a lifetime kinda thingy…
But my mom always remind me that there are a lot of other once-in-lifetimes (first kid, first house etc etc) sigh…
See-lar, mom also trying to curb my spending kekeke

 

[besse]

[1027]

[bride-to-be]
