[sk2]

Hi hamster_gal,
if ur shoe is not too expensive, then no harm bringing along. But if it is too expensive, then I suggest you get another cheaper pair for PS.

Ashie,
Wow, happy for you.. I havent start my fitting yet.. =( sob sob.. will do it maybe after CNY.

Ladies,

morning gals!

sharlene/tou/gals: oh my 2nd fitting went quite okie. in the end still stick to my original WG cos after adding tat extra layer of satin underneath and reducing the gathers at the waistline.. tot it looks much better.

snippy snappy/tou: hee... yah i love hydrangeas! luv the bluish ones

but yep u're right, both hydrangeas and tulips wilt quite fast so probably may settle for white roses

oh btw snippy, u jus got a puppy? wat breed?

tou: hey thats a v nice bouquet

v unique!

yuki: oh i tried sending u my fitting pics but mail got bounced back. may i hv ur email add again?

 

[joteohl]

Hi i_bless_u

[little_a]

cowgirl,
i was the one who actually met up with blossom sometime in Aug/Sep last year. Initially wanted to get them but decided that I still prefer the romantic kind cos I dun have fetchin of bride and gatecrashing...gonna meet straight in church so no point.

 

[lynn_]

Happiness to all!!!!!!

 

[seval]

Dear Ladies,

yeah,.. time ticking, in a flash, it'll be our wedding day. I'm getting stressed now. Due to my stupid toe injury and the pain, I have not been eating well for a few days because of the pain. And yesterday I weigh my self and I lost 1.5 kg!! Ops... super stressed now, from the targetted 3kg wt gain, it's now 4.5kg. sigh... CNY must eat more to gain back. hehe

Witch - Ya lor... Raffles so nice hor... dunno if people will dress up or not. I'm thinking of putting "Black Tie invited". Does anyone here understand what this mean? I'm just afraid that people dunno leh. I thought that putting Black Tie invited is very clear as some people dunno what's the "standard" for formal. If they dun have suits, they'll at least wear shirt and tie. I can't possible put formal then bracket (at least shirts &amp; tie) right? haha... I have attended a wedding at Fullerton and my friend put formal in the invitation but I still see some ah chek wearing the uncle polo tee leh.. &amp; there was once when I went dwn Raffles, i also saw some uncles wearing polo tees to the wedding. I just cant stand that leh. I don't have any relatives like that but dunno my husband's side got or not leh. Hopefully not.

Gals - I'm starting on my website. Now just beginning to design our logo. Very difficult... sigh.... and my working style and my husband very different. I'm those chop chop fast fast type &amp; he is those slow slow, everything must be symetric type. I cannot tahan... haha... but got to slowly work out our differences lah. When my logo is out, will send to you gals for comments.

 

[damsel]

Hi Chercat,
I'll be seeing my FH the day before as we have last min stuff to do and moreover we are not pantang

 

[icy]

tou,
the bouquet very nice.. like the translucent look.

minky, u got mail.

sharlene,
very high ah? dunno whether it will be even higher in June and july since that is the peak for tourist over there.

 

[wtan]

hi-hi helen &amp; renee...
i cant get hold of my friend too, maybe at the same time, i will still keep a lookout for u both,k? u both enjoy urself for the CNY 1st then probably gd news will come aft the CNY..cheers!

hi-hi furry...
nice to hear from u...when i sign up, i was served by c*i c*i (previously from w*dding n*ws) but now she's back to WN..i didnt hv MTM from YC, i think they hv quite a number of gowns..i wil only be gg down to YC in Mar for my 1st fitting..heehee..i m sorry to hear that u hv some problems with ur BS, care to share with us?
as for wines, actually i hvnt really look at it yet, perhaps let me discuss it out with my FH &amp; i will come back to u..i guess the pricing is depend on what type of wine u r looking at coz some pple like to buy 1 bottle to taste it 1st b4 they decide on the pricing but others do not need to taste the wine &amp; buy based on the pricing...

[zoeanne27]

Hi Seval

Wait everyone come with black tie ah..hahaha

I also considering doing a website. I did one for my ROM.. using dreamweaver.. but not that easy too..
Design logo ah.. CHIM leh...

 

[coyote]

Wow...very nice fotos Lynn. Love all the little details...well-captured to leave memory n paid-off to the extra effort u put in U fat meh? Think u worry too much lah, u look nice mah...where got fat?

Watz the dollar wif ur hubby's graduation foto? Love one of the angbao, so pretty wif gold thread. The sign-in pens so cute n colourful! The wedding favours look very grand when all packed together.

 

[icy]

Ying,
no problem, i going down to Yieng Yieng every sat in March, hahahaha doing my parrifin and facial.. wanna clear them before my AD and since Yieng Yieng will be away.. I have facial on 12 &amp; 26 mar.

sharlene,
wow, I planning that kind of height for my mattress, but yesterday I went around to shop and see see, seemed like it is easier to find these kind of bedsheet these days.

actually my case more complicated becos I have overseas relatives from KL and sabah.. so I have to book mini bus and plan their accomodations for them.. even their invite cards also have to print early.. so i must backtrack and do a lot of things earlier.. Guess what, I already booked the chalets for them -> cheaper and anyway hb stayed at pasir ris.

jasmine,
I also finished my PS recently.

 

[honeygem]

lynn, i agree with coyote. Lots of details are captured well and at least all your stresses are paid off

I just realised just now that all your photographers took all the wedding details in. I dont think mine did

 

[yuki_ko]

as of 7/2/05.....the june brides

mayelene---------4th june
averyl-----------5th june
jasmine----------18th june
cookie's gal-----18th june
rachel teo-------18th june
novgal-----------26th june
Yuki-------------26th june

I still have the file for June's bride...if u gals want it, do let me know...

 

[choc_cowgirl]

little_ger, that was what I initially wanted also. That is why I was most interested in fabian. I guess in your case, without the fetching of the bride, it may not be so humourous. And romance may not be such a strong forte of TWP. I think you made the right choice. As for me, my fiance and I requested that only about 1/3 to 50% of the highlights be the fetching of the bride. Want some tender moments shown as well.
impulse, I think it is a good idea to check them out, but to have the whole video edited also good....next time can show your kids or grandkids. TWP is really nice too.

 

[xiaozhu]

[coyote]

[lynn_]

coyote so nice to me

hee, the fake dollar note is 10K legal tender only in la-la land... to trick my jie-meis one lor he had 3 ABs for the open-door, one had fast food vouchers, the the fake note then the real $$$

hee, we bot the ABs together lor... the AB with the organges is for my mum to keep so we bot a pretty one.. and then i liked the very o-biang red packets for the open-door cos look so traditional... and we went to chinatown last week days after our AD and found sooooo many prety paper cut-outs of the double happiness, pity we didn't have time to go buy before our AD...

i very FAT! so may photos showed double chin and the half of them shoed my ultra FAT arms! so sad! and a couple of photos i liked showed my pimples (covered with powder so showed bumpy forehead) cos dunno why i got breakout the week before AD.... got time must go touch up those then can print out

hee. my sisters complain tat dunno why my photographer keep shooting still objects... they say waste money

my sign-in pens all kena kapoed liao... dun even have one to keep as a keepsake

 

[lynn_]

hee coyote, did u see my impersonation of your door handle decor? i wish he had a better picture of tat... wished he took it from the front so can see my copy-cat skills heehee, lynn is very proud of the door handle flowers she DIYed

kekeke, although of cos not as nice as florists' ones lah good enuff for cheapo lynn liaoz...

 

[decimal]

hi goober, can I see your pics too?

[email protected]

 

[honeygem]

lynn, i think the grass is always greener on the other side. I, on the other hand, am thinking why there are so little photos of still objects?!

hehehe. But sensible crazy coyote thinks Im really being silly

 

[hamster_gal]

hi ashie,
heehee....me also confirmed my WG and EG....such a huge relief.... even my FH also confirmed his tuxedos....now only need to worry about my shoes and his shirts and ties....

i think u mentioned a ver good point abt the EG more impt than WG cos will be taking photos with more pple in EG. but my WG is more dramatic than my EG cos i thot better to wear something that's easier to walk around in

hey all gals,
anyone thinking of doing the tea ceremony at the hotel just b4 the banquet? my fren gave me this idea and i thot it's great cos i can ensure that most guests arrive on time for the dinner.... what u all think???

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

[coyote]

when honeygem become a cow leh? Searching for greener pasture?! Hahahaha

Lynn....saw saw...yes u did a great job...looks equally gd compared to the pic i sent u. Thumb up ger!

Actually hor, when we look at other fotos we dun take note of the minor little details like the bride did lah... So i din c any double chin/ fat arms/ pimples tat u describe. Dun worry, they r not noticable Overall is great!

ladies,
happi new year.. !!!

 

[seval]

Dear Zoeanne,

That's the problem lor. I'm afraid a lot of people dunno what Black Tie Invited means. It actually just means that a tux/gown is suitable for the occasion. Formal means that too but I realized that a lot of people have very different interpretations for "formal" dress code. I just survey a few friends and they think that shirt without tie is formal too. For Ladies, just no jeans. hmmm... so, I'm worried lor. I would wan the dinner to be grand. So, I hope my guest will dress up for my event. If not, I go raffles for what, go void deck can already... hehe... Just thinking how to let people know that they can wear their tux and gowns and not be overdressed lor.

Yeah, we are using dreamweaver. Haven't touched the program for a while, so need to warm up. My husband better at it, so I just leave the dreamweaver part to him. I'm better at Photoshop but as Photoshop is not a drawing program, so quite difficult. He is using another Macromedia program which I dunno how to use but seems to be better for logo design. If you want to design a logo, can check out the other Macromedia programs but very time consuming as need to go through the tutorial to grasp the basic only. We've been borrowing IT books on these programs and hv been doing tutorials for a few weekends before we can start designing something. Tough work.

 

[i_bless_u]

Jolene: U've got mail...i want to see ur pics too!!

Glad u enjoyed ur PS!

 

[celtricia]

maraquan.. saw ur pics liao.. ur WG very nice leh.. like a fairy.. hehe.. i pity ur hubby.. kena sabo till so jialat.. but tink when he saw u all the saboing to him is worthwhile liao.. u very pretty leh.. i like ur eyes.. is very nice..

 

[honeygem]

Girls, you know what, coyote and I are very excited to become pretend Tai-Tais for our first ever meetup.

Had a look at the calendar and think perhaps a Sunday high tea will be good. Just an idea from me, so can shoot me down anytime okay?

<font size="-2">Theme: Peranakan TaiTai High Tea. (I think the original beggar and taitai wouldnt work unless one of the girls here comes in torn clothes, no money and no shower]</font>

<font size="-2">When: A Sunday, how about March 6? Cos if we leave it too long, wouldnt we be STALE brides by that time already?</font>

<font size="-2">Where: Goodwood Park Hotel - Local High Tea
Coffee Lounge (tel: 6730-1746)
When: 3.00pm
Cost: $18.80 +++ (adult)
What: What started as a Straits Chinese spread now comprises more than 20 items, including dimsum and local and Western fare. There are also cooking stations that whip up roti prata and popiah. The apom berkuah with banana sauce, a Peranakan dessert, has been the hot favourite since day one.</font>

<font size="-2">Why: Yakking is always good. Especially with FOOD! Also, dressing up is always fun

</font>

what do you girls think? Being pretend TaiTai is exciting (knowing I'll never be one!)

 

[mei79]

i_bless_u,
i wore my actual WG for the PS

Jolene,
urs is really superstar treatment leh! I also wanna see ur pics!

 

[totodilez]

Hi granva
hee...actually me also...but thinking of using my hair to cover....hopefully that works.
I think so...think as long as u make appointment withthem they will entertain us i suppose...hahaha....
Cause i only free in march...then try go see see first...hopefully can get an idea of how much weight to lose...hahaha....

 

[i_bless_u]

mei: my actual wedding gown i did wore for indoor PS..but not outdoor.

 

[honeygem]

Thank you Celtricia

I like my veil too very much - made me look so virginal

LOL

The dress for the cocktail party is actually my wedding gown for the solemnisation too. But I wore it for the night do without the veil and kebaya top. Show more skin!! *hiao* I actually plan to sell the whole thing off, but now I'm having second thoughts... maybe can wear as pyjamas.
