[blissgal]

Hi Afcai,

My MIL also told me no need to buy all those traditional things.. However if your insisted i would advise you to get it... Just to please her..

As for VIP tables.. normally is the close relative eg. your uncles ,grandmother.. those are the ppl who should sit in the VIP tables.

I do agree with you the nowaday that couples are footing the bills. The same goes to me as well. I'm luckily coz my mum told me she will return back all the APs $$ collected. However, i told her i can't give her any more tables coz it is already the max.

Hi blursotong,
Just count my MIL luckily that i dun have too many close friends to invite oso...

 

[jam75]

daphne, yr case will b 2 rush loh...actually is my VG suggest mi to hv outdoor shoot on AD so he can present it on dinner time...

 

[dazednconfused]

HI blursotong,

Yes. My fiance and I thank our lucky stars every day! Our parents do not require us to "give" them tables. All ang bao will come to us. We are the ones footing the bill, not our parents. We're basically left to make our decisions. Thank goodness!

 

[jam75]

caityln, if time permit i tink i will go my hotel there to take some pic...mayb request to go in suite to take some pic first...

 

[dolphin48]

jam, that's what my VG suggest too but will see how lor.... depends on wat time the tea ceremony done at his side..... i'm factoring in 1 hr and if go according to my schedule, then i may even have 1 hour in between to spare..... but a bit problem.... i will change to kua at his side and take kua outdoor... a bit funny rite?

[dolphin48]

watashi, i think 14 Dec out for me cos it's supposed to be my original AD but then the lady here calculated and say it's a good day but it clash with me...... sigh..... so think cannot 14 Dec liao..... wat's na cai btw? for GDL, must the MIL deliver or FH deliver can already? think weekday a bit hard cos he just change job so not possible to take leave leh..... so now must see weekends liao....

 

[dolphin48]

berry, cannot lah... then i think my FH will need to camp overnight my place liao..... my timing is now 7 to 9 leh..... it's early enough..... but i think if tea ceremony ends according to my schedule by 10, then i got a bit of time..... so maybe take pic in kua? if not, then i'll most prob need to do cheongsam and then wear for both tea ceremony at my mum's side and for solemnization? sigh..... this i'll think again this weekend..... too lazy to think liao.....
