[blim]

Hi Secret Garden,
The earliest is 3 months and the latest is 21 days ahead. Ya... we were puzzled too and even call up rom to verify and they refer us to the JP list provided. Cos I still see David Loh being mentioned recently in the JP threads leh.

 

[doremon]

Hi gals,

Welcome to those newcomers!

Hi blim,

David loh name is under the grassroots section at the ROM website. He will still be the JP next year. My gf booked him for her Feb 04 Rom.

Mr chan was late for one of my gf's solemnisation.

Hi brambles,

Agreed with u!! this thread moving too fast already. For your AD photographer, take your time and think carefully. And avoid seeing too many becos u will be very confused.

 

[blim]

Alamak! Mr Chan late ar? How disappointing. I read good reviews about him, that's why chose him.

Didn't know David Loh under grassroot section. Err... grassroot is different from JP right?

 

[secret_garden]

hi blim, doremon,

maybe mr chan too busy liao that's y late ...
so David Loh is grassroots leader? Grassroot leader can be JP right?
if we request david loh to be JP, how early in adavnce must we contact him?

doremon,
take you time to read okie

brambles, just shortlist afew else you like me *blur*

 

[piglets]

GTG.... Mit u all at night

 

[secret_garden]

as long as they can solemnise, it doesn;t matter grassroot or JP right?

 

[secret_garden]

okie! so piglets can come over n lunch with us?

 

[oops]

Hi mist

i love the rotating chair and wonder if i should get another to prevent the 'fight'. was thinking of choosing green or beige colour. is urs beige? does it get dirty easily

how is the service. heard their delivery is always late. i got it from Harbourfront branch during sale.

 

[secret_garden]

my parents got a sofa set from celato some time in may this year. the delivery is on time on the dot. sofa as per what we requested. no arguements n all. They bot it at the shop at furniture mall along Beach Rd.

 

[lovey]

Hi ladies,
Had been off from this thread for a very long time...can I join back this thread so that we can prepare for our weddings together? Could I add myself to the list?

Lovey (Divine, Merchant court)

[eternity]

hi ladies,
me read before somewhere on Guo Da Li... actually it's not really called Guo Da Li in the old traditional customs....

in the past, people has "San1 Shu1 Liu4 Li3" (three letters and six etiquettes). What we do now on Guo Da Li is wat people in the past do for "Na4 Zhen1" (Formal Gifts for the Bride's Family), one of the six etiquettes.

The groom's family will pick a 'good day' and send the bride's family the following bridal gifts: gifts, cash, cakes and food and sacrifices for worshiping the ancestors. This act confirms the marriage agreement between the two families.

 

[secret_garden]

i've decided on venue and bridal shop...

you?

 

[lovebyte]

Hi all

Hope all had a lovely Christmas!

I just went for my very first fitting at Bridal Veil today - its feels quite scary and strange to put on a gown (which is not quite completed yet, and no crystals) cos I kept thinking "this is it" the only gown I should wear for the rest of my life!! And it is not a exceptional dream gown - somehow it did not feel magical like I imagine it would. Sigh, I think I have been brought up on to many fairy tales.

Its 38 days to my big day, and I have heaps to do - such a slow B2B. Still need to find some sort of entertainment - like a live band/dj, walk in song, get evening dress done, invitations printed, find emcees (the couple we originally asked is on a brink of marriage disaster), buy the traditional wedding stuff, sitting plans, thank you presents for helpers. If I start thinking about it, I somehow panic. Just try to get by a day at a time. What's worse is that you keep thinking that you should put in more effort as there will be only one wedding - but I just have no enough time!!

Hope you all here are in a better position than I am - I am so stressed that my hormones have gone into overdrive, and thus now have skin to rival a spotty teenager..

cest la vie
EC

 

[hanyan]

Hi Ladies!

Sori I have been MIA for a while, busy with wk.
I have changed my wedding date to ... 10/10 oso!

Hope no more changes coz my fiance and I haven't told his parents yet n they are the superstitious type.

Hi steph and forest, welcome to this thread.

Orosalind,
Gather fr the threads that u do tiaras. Are u into making all those beaded jewellery too? I am actually interested to learn but duno where to go. Any advise on that? Is anyone here also int'd to learn, then perhaps we can go together. I am hoping to make some jewelleries for my gang of jie-mei

Since today New Yr's eve, here's wishing everyone a better year ahead, filled with love, joy, good health and all wonderful blessings fr above!

 

[smallonion]

forest.. hehehe, yes final ur name is up in the list. kekekek

secret_garden.. no rubbing sale lah...hehehe but really south tat part is actually very popular area & housing value is high. Mine friend apply for the ballot for Tiong Bahru, now waiting for result.

 

[estherc]

Yes, I agree. Not many people will want to have their wedding in Aug because of that reason. Mine is on 8 August, at the end of the 6th lunar month. Actually, even for the 6th lunar month, not many people like it because they say it's something to do with half of a year!

Yes, I've decided on venue (Four Season) and bridal shop (Amanda Lee) too. What's yours?

 

[secret_garden]

hi brambles,
so which ones are you looking at? care to share?

hi smallonion,
really? I wish your feind all the luck she needs for the ballot!

hi ladies,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

 

[doremon]

Hi secret garden and blim,

According to david loh, they made a mistake and that is why his name appears under the grassroot leader section. No worries, he is indeed the JP becos he does solemnisation at the ROM registry also

Guess what? He stay in sengkang too!

 

[doremon]

HI lovey,

Do u mind to share with me your ROM pictures too?

Thanks! Pls click on my username for the email.

Hi brambles,

I send u a mail...pls review and let me know your comments.

 

[odie]

Hi EC,

I think you are too stressed out (though I am equally guilty of that at times too)

Do stay focus... the wedding is only a celebration but the marriage should be the core of the whole preparation. You can call me lazy... but I don't put in alot of efforts trying to make my wedding an extraordinary one or unqiue from others. There is nothing wrong with getting down to all the nitty gritty details... but sometimes stress is created unduly if you try too hard to live up to it. For instance I wanted a blue theme for my wedding dinner... but going by the colour of the ballroom... the colour will clash so have decided on gold/champange instead. I figured that nobody will remember it one year down the road except that they had attended my wedding

For the gown, I guess that it is only the 1st fitting and without the crystals it will look a bit plain. Speak to Michelle about it and let her know your concern... I'm sure she can do more to the details of the gown.

Having a live band/dj will liven up the place... but playing songs from a CD will do just fine as well.

Emcees... erm try other friends... I'm sure they will be glad to help.

Bring your mum or your FMIL to shop for the traditional wedding stuff. At least they know what to get and buy what they require rather than ding donging to and fro. Do not hesitate to get family members involved in things... it makes the whole process easier for you (do not look at it as losing control... they love you and want to feel that they are part of it as well). My mum and FMIL have been very involved in things and am glad that they are... otherwise I would have lost my sanity by now... and its good to see everyone getting excited about the wedding.

Sitting plans can come much later... just do up a guest list for now... because the sitting arrangement will change when friends RSVP. I cracked my head over it initially and found myself shifting everyone around for at least 3 times... complete waste of time and effort... and realise subsequently from the banquet co-ordinator that they can fit even 11 or 12 persons to one table and all I need to do is just inform them beforehand which tables will have more guests... to think I was trying so hard to fit just 10 persons into one table.

Thank you presents for helpers can come in the form of a dinner or lunch. We will be buying lunch for our helpers... think it will save alot of time shopping for the gifts. What's more you won't end up buying things which may end up chucked in one corner.

If you can't quite think straight... sit down with your hubby and come up with a list of things to be done and prioritise. Do the bare necessities first... frills can come later when you have the additional time. I had to constantly sit myself down and list down what needs to be done and by when... otherwise I find myself losing my bearings too... you are not alone kay... so be strong =)

If you have any queries... shoot away here... we may be of some help... heh heh me so thick skin

Stay focus and take care.

 

[mist]

hi inc,

hmmm, i also heard alot of bad comments from the thread too!!! i was pretty worried then....

but i think they have improved and are better now. their delivery was quite okay.

my sofa is beige, you have to take care of the sofa loh, especially little black dust is very visible on beige sofa.... but usually i just wipe it with solution soap and they are clean liao... quite easy to take care. My friends also "fighting" for that rotating chair when they come to my place!!! anyway, it's quite okay lah, my hubby always let me sit on that chair and he sit somewhere else loh... ;p

hi secret garden,

ha, you also wanna join in the fun for the rotating chair huh?? ;p

Forest,

welcome!!!

 

[orosalind]

Hi Forest,

Glad to know that u have cfm ur AD. For BS, u got to start shopping ard now, esp if u r gg for MTM. My banquet will be held at Pan Pac, BS is Golden Horse Awards. Hope that u can find ur ideal BS soon.

Btw, I have sent u the pics of the tiaras oredi.
==================================================


Hi Hanyan,

The tiaras are not made by me. Cos the design cannot be handmade.

Me oso interested in learning jewellery making and I've been looking ard for books the past few days but din see much nice design except those imported fm Japan ones. Too bad leh, I cant read Jap, or else, I wld have bought liao. U r interested too? Maybe we can go check it out together.
