(2005) Brides of year 2005

hi all,

I am back...
Everything went smoothly except that timing over run abit. My sisters and brothers are great helpers. Weather is fine too.
But for the dinner part, is abit disappointed with few dishes - sharkfin is almost tastless... haiz. Hotel owe us a explanation on that. The brothers left out the wedding portrait ... so sad.
Overall for dinner part, is consider okay. All of us enjoyed ourselves very much.

I din cry at all, too excited to cry.... haha.

hi artemis,
can i see your pic too?
Many thanks
 


hi pierced,
saw u gals posting something abt paint in the jan and dec thread.. meant to ask abt the paint but too paiseh to join in.. and boy that thread moves so fast.. do u know whether ici dulex is better than nippon medifresh.. which one u recommend.. my friends are asking me to go for colour.. but i think i select the paint type first..

hows ur prep for ur wedding..
 
Hi artemis,

The pictures are very nice! Always like collages, they really make the pictures come alive! And I alo think you look better in candid pics than in ready-posed pictures

hi afcai,
at least ur wedding is a sweet dream.. mine no longer feels so.. i had booked a trip to europe wif dynasty travel for my honeymoon but last min grp was cancelled cos got ppl dropped out. now.. still hv to look for other tour pkgs. n i kept quarelling wif FH lately.. and the wedding date is jus one week away.. v depressing...
sad.gif



Jen : my FH coming to fetch me at 7.30am
Dresscode for my jiemeis are dresses. Colour theme preferably pastel. dat's wat i told them. =)
i guess denim is fine.. really up to you if you want to synchronise the overall "look" and "feel".
i ask my jiemeis to avoid wearing pink cos my teadress is peachy pink colour and to avoid white cos i want to be the only one wearing white dat day.


Jenny (Pinkbear):which travel agency did u bk your Europe honeymoon and which pkg is dat? can share the places dat u are gog and how many days? cos i need to bk a new tour pkg. tks.
 
Hi Ggjj,
I think both ici dulex and nippon medifresh are comparable since they are both top of the range for both brands. What I did was to compare the colours from both ranges and chose the colour I had in mind. In the end, we used medifresh.

As for lightings, there are many shops in Balestiar and Geylang. It is fun to browse through the shops there. We got our lights from Strass and Flavin, which are quite reasonably priced. Hope these helps.

Hey Artemis,
your pix r great! your PG did a wonderful job! esp luv the shots of the lanterns, so oriental!

n pls dun be shy to take pix in future, cos u looked beautiful in the pix.
n i muz say your EG is stunning, luv the back!

i like the throwing-the-bridal-bouquet part!
wished i did dat too, since i've so many single gal pals. wat a pity!

Welcome back, Renee!
glad dat everythg went well... do share ur pix when they're ready.
 
Hi ggjj,

Think still ok to go for food tasting on 17th Nov. Cause if you want to change the dishes all that there is still enough time.

Hai me have to hack down 1 room for sure one. So sian so much wasted space. You intend to hack down 1 room also?

Hi yipee,

My AD is 2nd Dec and most of the cards I have sent out liao. Better to send out early so that at least your friends will have an idea that they have your wedding to attend in Dec.

Hi Jennifer,

Me not having shu tou. Hubby is having it but it is a very simple one. His mum just have to comb his hair in a few strokes for yi shi yi shi only before he leaves his place to pick me up. That is MIL's simple way of shu tou. Since my side not doing so I don't think there is a need to do together. If your parents want to do the ceremony for you then go ahead. Better not force your hubby to do the same thing if his parents don't like to prevent any unecessary headache and conflicts.

haha..looks like my mum is the more 'traditional' or so called 'lao gu ban'..i have everything..she looks into every detail from GDL to shu tou to AD..
 
Hi Artemis,
You look great. Your PS very creative also. Quite pro...
As for the throwing of bouquet, I wanted to keep it as dried flowers so did not do so. Yours look really fun.
 
fates.... kekeke.... dec can try la, but everyone looks busy in dec ley... you free in dec?

vela, sure wait for you, I away in 1st week of dec also :P
 
decimal
will be going for biz to shanghai in december but not confirmed yet. heard it will be freaking cold then.

yah...the vinegar fish not bad but ours no bones leh,they cut open the fish. we cldn't finish the chicken as well. was there with my in-laws only but they don't want the dongpo meat so we didn't try.
 
jam

i went for food tasting too liao. we quite like the steamed fish wif thai sauce but reckon tat it will not suit the tastebuds of old ppl & young children. we requested to chg it to normal HK style cooking. u can try changing it ya. i juz went Hi-Tech to print invites this morning. tink ready for collection next wkend..

ching

now tat u reminded me abt the holes on the 2sides of the box, i mite juz use transparent scotchtape to tape it then. actually dun tape oso nvm coz cant put our 4fingers in it..
 
Hi ggjj, hehe, no need shy to join in but that thread really moves very fast. whenever u want can juz pop in.
i not painting mi house but last yr we chose ICI dulux, better and it can be easily wiped off too.

i've been pressing mi dad to confirm his tables and guest list coz he's takin his own sweet time to do things.

mi GDL would be very simple without much fuss, oso not having those shu tou and wadever things.
