(2005) Brides of year 2005


but from what i know, if you buy the cheaper red wines, usually they are not so easy to drink cos not that good but for the same price, u can get pretty good white wines..... so i'm thinking of having both.... cos 2 of my friends told me that during their wedding, the white ones ran out faster than the red wines and in fact a lot of left over for the red.
 
pierced... u know what wine u having? i tot of trying the one caitlyn & ting order one...which is winfield...
daphne i shld b ordering red wine only... u know what wine u getting?
i call up star cellar...they say we need to call them to arrange the wine tasting... i got the price & some wine from them... will send to u 2...
i will be bz this wkend & next wkend... or u gals wanna go first? coz my hb is not free...wkdays he even not free...
 
berry, no idea yet leh but i think i'll be getting both red and white.... white can get cheaper cos easier to drink and then red gets slightly more exp so in a way, it offsets the extra costs (hopefully).....
ya, u send me the details? better also buy early cos i heard sometimes, the wine u want is out of stock and needs at least 1.5 months to deliver.

caitlyn u have 60 bottles...how many on consignment? ya very fast ur AD will come.. hee... ur dinner 3 Dec right?
hee... yours all 1 week den 1 week till ur msia wedding...hee
 
newbbi, i mean altogether we ordered 48 bottles foe 25 tables.. and my hotel only allow 48 bottles of wine corkage waiver...
 
berry - for my fh side, i think at most 10 - 15 ppl.. so wat're doing is buying tarts and ckes from prima deli.. instead of catering coz will be at fh's hse ard 8.. darned sianz.. so early.. nearer te wedding, i more n more sian abt all this auspicious hour and superstitions.. keke.. i think it's 1/3 of total no. of bottles is on consignment.. so i can return 20 bottles..
 
ok, good.. save my fri dinner for u, keke..

btw, gals, me thinking if want to get my MUA to stay for my change of makeup and hairdo for nite.. how much u all MUA charging u?
but my MUA got another appt after me, so he coming back after the other makeup if i want him for 2nd makeup.. like very risky leh..
 
highness - i thnk my MUA charge ard 150 - 200.. cannot remember.. i asked her to stay but dunno whether she wrote down anot.. keke
 
berry, at first, oni my side relatives having tea ceremony at hotel (bcos of my mum, need to rest more), then my hotel coordinator say 7.00pm gd enuf.. then my parents say too late, so 6.30pm.. then my MIL oso want to have their relatives tea ceremony at hotel (she not in gd terms with them so dun want them to go her house, haiz..) so now my FH say 6pm at hotel.. told my MUA, he say then i need to makeup at 4pm!!
 
highness, i think Melvin charges $150, me not asking for another change cos $$ is tight, sob sob...

i think the timing may be hard to coordinate leh if he goes off and come backa gain...
 
caitlyn... dun sianz... i also getting a bit frustrated abt the whole auspicious thingie...
but no choice... have to tahan... if not nxt time wait mum nag,mil nag if anything wrong happen...
highness... wow so ma fan ur MIL... got such special arrangement...
den morning till lunch... ur JM,XD no need eat?u buy KFC,MAC& pizza for them huh? hee
*go lunch*
 
think my MIL will be preparing vegetarian food (she vegetarian!) for my helpers.. then back to my mum's, got lunch for them.. actually wanna lunch out, but they dun wan (save $$ for me, so touch.. ) think will have fried bee hoon, and hakka food (suan pan zi), curry chicken, zhu jiao..

Winnie, i oso think quite risky but i 4pm makeup liao, then need to tahan till 11pm ar?? then from tea ceremony till dinner end, all same hairdo, very boring like that, haha..
 
my in law side only cater mini buffet if no relatives coming from overseas, the sickening part is till now, those relatives cant confirm if they are coming or not???!!!! i got to cater more at my own parents place cos that is lunch time when we come back...

highness, wah your MIL can cook for so many people?? qill be quite tiring leh. hmm true, unless hor, like you can waer a tiara for the first part, then later remove for your EG?? or maybe use different color of flowers... ask jie mei to change the flowers for you, to cut cost, but if you can afford, good to change another hairstyle.
 
gals, check with u all, how is the wordings like for the chinese writing on the invitation card? if only child - me, how should it be addressed in the chinese format? then if 2nd child is son like my FH (only son and rank 2nd and only has one elder sis), again how to address?
headache ah..... we doing away with the english format of addressing only child or only son or watever and just put our names.
 
phew.. finally got time to log in liao....

can't contribute on wines.. me getting from hotel and just found out tat they have increase the price to $34+++/btl... sigh...

i thinking of catering from either Neo Garden or Four Seasons Catering.... anyone tried four seasons before? .. any comments?

highness... u have make sure your MUA come back in time for your 2nd march-in leh.. my MUA charging $150 to stay.. i will prob get her to stay for 2nd hair-do lor..

daphne, can't help u on tat.. mine is eldest son & youngest daughter.

Gals, is our Fri gathering firm ?.. i got to canx my facial appt if confirm having Hens nite for caitlyn...
 
Daphne, the printer will know.

for daughter, i am also only child, so it is Ai4 Nu3, that means Ai4 as in "love" in chinese.

for him only son, but have sisters, just like my hubby got 2 sisters, his is wu4 nan2.

for the exact chinese character, the printer will advise.
 
That's what the printer suggest to put only son but my FSIL and FMIL say wrong leh. The chinese initially put "wu nan" and "wu nu" but my FMIL wants to change to "Xiao er" and "Ai nu".
The for English, it was only son and only daughter but they don't like it so in the end remove that and just put our names. Didn't know this also so headache. Ding dong here and there the whole morning.
 
daphne, why dont like the word only son and only daughter leh???

it is like that one, rather than ding dong here there now rather than my FIL now says he think we should not put "feng ci ming"...
 
janf,
agreed wif u loh...for food tasting the steam fish wif thai sauce like not everyone can accept it especially for those old folks so we too intent to change to HK style....

so are u going to choose the oriental or classic themes??? u can request yr co-ordinator to send u pic via email...
 
winnie, cos if put only son then it sounds like only child. haha.... ya lor..... this morning me and my FSIL cracking our heads thinking which is the correct way to address so in the end, decide to take it out so save the headache. Maybe just put their son and their daughter. Then the printer got my chinese calendar year wrong. supposed to be rooster year, they put dog year. sigh.... i didn't know until my FMIL saw that. Luckily she noticed that, if not then jia lat.
 
newbb,

mi hvn't buy the lamp leh...tink all the shop carry the same pattern wan...tink might b going to take those pink color wan...

my mom oso intend to order frm neo garden for the buffet on AD leh...2 wk later my niece full month so my mom say will cater neo garden to try loh!!
 
daphne,
my hb oso got 1 elder sis & no bro liow...so the printer said only son but my MIL feel dat only son mean no other sibling....mine AD is oso in Jan so the year should be 2005 or 2006 in chines?? my printer indicate 2006 leh but chinese calander is consider in Dec leh...
 
jam

i hvnt see the themes yet. which is nicer?? wat theme u choosing?

newbbi

think order more wines is safer than less. on avg is 2bots to 1table.. but if ur relatives dun consume wines, then prob can minus here and there..
 
jam, should put it as rooster year (dunno how they put that but i think in chinese calendar, they go by the animal year instead of 2005 or 2006). Mine is same as yours lor... AD in Jan.
 


jam- there is a term for the your hubby. My hubby also has a elder sister & he is the youngest in the family. The term is called Zi nan.
