Hihi,

I am also or ni lover. I am Hokkien...Indeed a lot of Teo chew restaurants have it. I like it with Gingko nuts and pumpkin.The one at Por Kee in Tiong Bahru is yummy too...;p

Bubbles,
Your FH is really generous. heard mkt rate is 2-3k but also depend on both sides nego. I heard the SDJ is given by FH side. Sme MIL will go with u to choose, sme may buy for u. Our mum will also give us one or two items

Cheery
As for the SDJ, I thot the other way round? Guy buy , mum give one or two...???

Bubbles,
I got no kang tou for CS. But you can try to buy materials in People's Park Complex above the big hawker centre on 2nd level. There are rows of textile shops and shld be competitive...
 
Hi Cheery,
Not really leh ...

My FH can't save much ... he is very spendthrift ... moreover, he has to pay all the bills for the flat ...
and he spends a few hundreds on cigarettes in a month leh ... very angry with him ... waste so much $$

HI blush

sorry 4 e late reply... me ve tons of stuffs to do cause not working tmr.

my BS not sure cos until now most BS i went to dun ve nice EG. me thinking of OTR so now headach
 
hi jen

no worries...
happy.gif

EG - i guess if you MTM, you can decide your own style, and not be constrained by what designs they have there....maybe don't take OTR lor...
haha...actually, i didnt even bother about EG design. i only tried on WG....oops...hopefully when my time come around for designing, i won't be in for a shock!
happy.gif
 
hi jen
I agree with blush, usually EG difficult to OTR, either like the colour, dun like the design, or like the design, dun like the colour. I might MTM my EG if by january cant find anything i like.
 
Hi blush n chill1padi

me ve no ideas for my EG so must get ideas from their OTR but if their OTR also can not make it shouldn't dat speak alot abt e design ideas of e gown designer right??

so me looking at their EG OTR so to see wat kind of ideas or how creative e designers r.
their gowns can show how creative this designer is... right??
 
Hi jen
With regards to the designs, you can ask your HTB for ideas. I think he will be best person to know what look nice/sexy/gorgeous on you. From there your designer can contribute some more ideas, to create YOUR mei mei EG.
 
Hi Swangal,

I'm not into blading... though i had tried ice-skating b4, rollar-blading is not my cup of tea... :-(

Hi gals,

hope u all had an enjoyable time meeting up with each other...
 
nana... dont know if BS will clean gown, good question, i will ask them.

hi girls, anyone can help me on standard "subsidy" given to bridesmaid for her dress?
 
Audrey!!...u r back!!!hehehehe...miss u leh!

Jelly...think if take for detox also good if ur sys not clear every day...akkaka...

Tan....my hubby also tot must mix with hot drinks one....he so puzzle that it can mix well with cold drinks...

zoe...normally bride side one table n groom side one table n the bride will sit together with the groom side loh......but it also up to individual ...if ur PIL n parents no mind i think its a good idea to sit together..but for my case i think its impossible....co both side also has so many pple....

now at hubby house...n know PIL went for wedding dinner last might at grandparkroyal....the wedding favour quite unique....its a kind of testube with a stopper n inside r dry flowers...and there is one more quite unique...dunno how to describe to u all.....
 
Cottoncandy
i think i mumble instead of saying the vows n I only remembered saying 'Yes' instead of 'Yes, I do!' everything happened so fast .... no video except photography (but photos not ready yet)

highness (u r rite i think i am sotong liao) ..i am so worried ....

hi Vel hi Impulse414 *waves* ...

Vel u also ROM on 23 har? same day as moi ^_^
 
AUDREY!! u are back.... yup.. really miss u leh..

Janice
Yup, understand that the norms are bride one table n groom side one table.. Bride also sit with the guy side.. I dun like the idea of "marrying" over lor.. But i afraid if my parents sit over, they be bored and got to talk to "strangers".. Like what jelly said, we dun have the time to sit n talk at the table always, we be always busy changing n walking around..
I talk to my parents n see how lor.
 
yo zoe... ya lor.... but like i mention.... ILs side already so many ppl liao... so will juz stick to my parents side and my FH side lor... wont fix them together...

yap when date nearer u got to check with ur ILs lor... see whether they mind or not... maybe they got other plans for the sits liao wo...

yo audrey...hmm... busy gal... got time must pop in and dun forget to take care also ya...

yo jnj... ya lor... for detox... need to read the brochure 1st lah... hmm... i know the wedding favours of tat... i saw it b4... i also like it bery much...
 
I thought the bridal table is supposed to be the "qing jia" tbl which means that the parents/grandparents of both sides and the couple sit at the table, the rest of the seats is usually taken by the bridegroom's siblings. That's my understanding & that's what ppl around me did for their wedding. Hmm.. so there is other type of arrangements, I din know that...
 
Hi seval

There is lots of different arrangement all depend on individual actually.. No wonder friends told me, the most headache is sitting arrangement. I wait till the date is near, then I headache again lor...

Hi janice
Now waiting for Cu2nite to get the replacement meal, share share with her, slim down and be pretty... hahaahha... I see u trying out like so fun with all her different drinks... till i also wan to try try liao.. image about the wedding favours, i think it look quite unique n nice too. I thought of buying testtube , put in a small flowers and hang as decorative item in my bathroom.. Maybe u can help me "steal" some test tubes out... hahahahahah...... **zoe wink at janice**

BTW, i no see Gwen's pics leh.. She MIA liao, Unicorn also MIA liao.. Natsu 's wedding maybe change to Oct liao, bcos she said her hubby got to go overseas for army training during Sept time.. Poor her..

Josl n jazzygal, where r both of u too?

jelly, u still do not have the brochure? Sorry, cos josie pass one for me, so u do not have .. She got keep for u one.. paiseh.. Can i wait till monday , i scan/fax the brochure to u??
 
Dear Gals:

sad.gif


Wanted to spend some money slimming at slimming centre like Mary Chia/Jean Yip/Aimin Acupuncture, so search for info on the health/fitness thread, then realised so many brides say that slimming centres and products do not work.. Diet & Exercise is still the way to go lo..

So i'd beta start soon soon! Still got 4 months to PS. Hopefully can slim down 2kg a month? Wanted to spend the money on a personal trainer/exercise classes/gym membership, SCARLY i go for facial (birthday gift from good fren for wedding) and ended up paying another $2k plus for a course of 22 facials ar Chrysalis Spa! My complexion is actually ok lo, no scars, no breakouts, a tiny bit of freckles and a bit dry only.. Sob sob.. Now i get gotta depend on willpower to slim down, no personal trainer liao!

Anyone here trying to slim down also? (So far all the pix show slim brides2b! Good Good!!!) Let's motivate one another and share tips!!! Hehe..

Pisduck: Long time no see!!! hehe.. Share pix when ready ya? All the best!!!

Tougei,
I am looking into 4-6 jiemeis. I prefer even number...nicer lor.

Regarding ur question of a fren volunteer, I dun mind lor...unless really u dun like her if not also pai say to reject mah....:P
 
hi tougei,
me will be having around 6-8 jiemeis lo..
hmmm for my case, if a fren volunteer, i will add her in as ah yee ba.. or make her one of my coordinator? coz i alr bought same color top for all my jiemei.. will explain to her that i alr over "quota" on jiemei.. hehe..
 
hi gals..

sorry for replying late.. hehe
i bought the poncho from new zealand lo.. i got them at a discount price of $20 each (was $45), i bought pale/baby green for all my jiemeis. i love it so much that i bought a off-white one for myself.. hhahaha...

ponytail, i think your "subsidy" got to depend on how much is your budget le.. if u planning to spend $200 on them, and there are 4 bridesmaid, then each subsidise by $50 lo.. there's no standard lo.. my fren from NZ pay for all her bridesmaid's dresses coz that is what she wants them to wear, while i have some frens whose bridesmaids pay for their own dresses coz they offer to..
 
hi keiki,

i just got my shoes today.. haha.. hopefully can match.. i think Nic's place sometimes busy sometimes not and it dun depends on whether weekday or weekend. coz i always go weekend, not many ppl then that thurs i go.. wow!! fainted.. think that day got 2/3 couple getting married?!
