Hi ladies,
Good morning on a lovely Sunday!!! Hope your valentine's day was great...!
yvonne...
nope, din get anything for hubby... but bought him a small card though... he 'planned' a surprise... made a reservation at the restaurant where he proposed (exactly 1 year back on V-day too!
)...
hi nickel,
I'd think the sword party goes something like this - pastor announces bride to march in, sword party marches in slowly, bride comes in with dad, dad hands bride to groom, pastor commences service. at this pt, the sword party falls out quietly. then just b4 the groom and bride walks down the aisle as husband & wife, the sword party will march in again (quickly this time), fall into position then bride and groom walks past them...
but of cos got a lot of different variations one la... i once saw a couple who did the sword thingy only after they walked out of the sanctuary, at the steps of the main entrance... so i guess it's really up to the individual...
BTW, did you managed to surprise hubby with your gift?
babysheep,
if i read your posting correctly, you're the one in the armed forces instead of your hubby? if so, wow... lady officer...
ya, me and hubby had same sentiments too... to us, we're really considered married only after the church ceremony... so the ROM was really more so for the flat... what we did was quite similar to yours too.. the house is now vacant, and we'll move in only after Oct.. but one good thing is that i dun have to worry abt the house or reno now... concentrate purely on the big day... !
blurry,
if you're going for OTR, then you should have sufficient time... more imptly, try to select your BS soon, then things will start to fall in place... I agree with Yvonne.. taking OTR is safer as you can really get unwanted surprises with MTM gowns... actually me having nightmares every now and then abt how my gowns will turn out when i try them when they're ready...
