i think there's this spa in UE Square has a package for couple. can't remember the details though

 

[jennyn]

Thanks Icy, Bluey and Vela,

Was expending time and energy on rom and renovation earlier. I'm pretty stuck on dis cos only have the two recent her world bridal mags to look at. Not sure what items or standard package look like as well.

Taking Vela's suggestion, could anyone shortlist a few to give me a head start. Considering time constraint, I should be looking at OTR and focusing on PS photography.

I don't know what I should have besides WG, EG, Kua, suits for hubby. Budget should be 2.5K? Could anyone share their package with me for a sense of realism? Many thanks.

Hi, think i'm going ahead with the wedding. wanted an intimate and cosy dinner. anyone has any place to recommend? only about 100-120 pax. heard that there is a french restaurant somewhere that is quite nice? anyone has any recommendations? if we can't think of any place, maybe will go ahead with Regent hotel.

 

[ger]

vela,

U can try the Asian Spa at Fullerton Hotel.

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Butter...

for me, it's different... I haven't see one that I really like... some I like the front design... some I like the back... but sadly, they can't be combined... coz it will look weird...

hope I can find one that I will fall in love wif soon...

Any bridal magazines u have seen that offer good varieties of WG? recommendation?

 

[touraco]

blur
u PM me the right website again?

for the one i went to. i do not know much details as everything arranged by my HB. It's holiday inn batam. the spa is quite exclusive...it's like a little village on its own next to the hotel. u can choose ur own music for the session and it's done in an outdoor environment

 

[little_a]

blur, i am going with my fiance....7-9 Aug. will be staying @ Highland Hotel.

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Rokko... actually... I'm also last few in the list... can u imagine... only left wif a few of us chatting... so depressing...

and can u send me that chart for the sequence of where the helpers shld be positioned... desperately need help for that... I have only seen my fren doing it but have not done it myself.. so also dunno what's the procedure...

Not too sure whether must say anything also leh.. maybe my fren trying to scare me... she was saying this lady gotta say some auspicious things before the bride and groom offer tea to the elderly... think easy would be to juz smile smile can liao hor...

 

[ublur]

touraco, yup send u the right website again..

hmm.. then urs consider quite cheap too.. 200 for 2 persons.. mayb i will check it out too.. thanks

[cinderella2005]

Hi Butter,

My FH's grandma had to wait for the tong shu to be out before she can choose this date at first i heard it would be out in Oct, i worried that there will be no time by then...luckily my friend told me that someone in SB has bought the tong shu, so i went to get one haaa...good date ya?! hee how about you? tongshu too? by the way, have you rom? mine will be feb 2005...

 

[ger]

vela,

They have a few package to choose from...me always go there for massage ....

 

[touraco]

germ
u were talking abt asian spa? it's very nice hor...i like the big shower rooms...hee

 

[cinderella2005]

Hi rokko,

i quite impatient actually to hurry up settle on the venue and BS heee...
yup i totally agree with you and the phrase 'marriage is for a lifetime'...

we have to keep the communication with each other going on and on and on...otherwise we'll be rather lost...

 

[vela]

germ, touraco, Thks! I will call Fullerton to ask..hee..

jenny, hv email u on the MTM pkg price so if u doing OTR can probably ask for some discount..hope info useful for u..

 

[rokko]

rosalind u not so bad leh, at least u still way ahead of mine... mine is in sept, all of u will be long married by then!!! ;p

ok here's what i have for tea ceremony... basically i handled the programme (morning tea ceremony and church) for my fren, her dinner was only for relatives so i was not in charge.... i have detached the tea-ceremony portion from the main programme, cos it included the church sequence which i dunno whether u need it!

anyway this is the rough sequence lah... need at least 3 helpers as shown in chart... not more than that preferably cos too many ppl liao... but the only thing i can't remember is whether there's a proper sequence for bride to be on the left or right when serving tea... anyone knows???<center><table border=1><tr><td>

Tea ceremony
Tea ceremony.doc (28.2 k)</td></tr></table></center>

 

[ane]

hi gals

vela ~ u looking for me??

 

[yuki_ko]

Thanks for this... so cute... getting more impatience... though there's still a long long way to go... but perhaps maybe get everything ready and by then can shake leg... ;p

 

[jellytots77]

yo gals... come come... tell jelly when is a comfortable date that we can all meet up for a yaking section

 

[icy]

rokko &amp; Rosalind,
dun worry, we will be here to share our experience.

 

[vela]

cutie, ya lor, ask u contact of spa for couples..hee..hee..but msn just died on me..sob..sob..

 

[yuki_ko]

Thks Icy... it's kinda sad if one by one, the gals juz stop coming in... after the WD... especially if they are going for honeymoon after that... like me... probably for at least 2 weeks after my AD wont' be able to log on..

Anyway... no point worrying about that, right? ;p

btw, are u all doing photo montage for yr AD?

 

[butterkiss]

Hi Rosalind

For me, my requirements are quite simple. In fact, after trying many many WGs, I like many many of them... haha...
Erm... I got the HerWorld bridal magazines, quite a few issues... but I feel that not much WG/EG are featured inside...

Hello cinderella,
I got my dad through my dad during May... before the tong shu is out... coz he's a fengshui shi fu and this is his area of expertise... haha..
I haven't ROM yet.... planning to do it on the same day... lazy to go through the hassel so many times...

 

[ger]

touraco,

Ya, very nice rite...even their room for couple is big 2.

 

[piggersorous]

thot u gals arranged a date liaos??
or me got mixed up areadis...

 

[hammy]

Hi Hi

Me oso like the 4th gown.. simple, nice and elegant!

Hi bearyhugs
think on the positive side... ya FH is very sweet.. coz he is so supportive.. u say u wan to tone up, he auto buy weights for u leh... my hubby think buyin for me is waste of money leh..coz he think i won't use!

Judy
Dun be sad... ya "friend" dun share with u.. we share with u k?

 

[butterkiss]

sweatcorn sent me the link previously also...
but I got no time to go through it...
I scare the more I see, the more confuse I become... I like so many of them....

bearyhugs, good hor, to stay near ur own parents... somemore, our location there is so centralise!! me is staying at the block just in front of the community centre... hee hee... next time, will move to Sembawang for 2 years, and then come back to this estate again!

 

[tou2]

Hi hi. Don't worry, we will continue to come in to help you jia you. Anyway, think mine is also one of the latest.

Rokko, goodness! nber know that serve tea also got instructions one. got work process diagram somemore hehe...

Hi Rosalind
Think doing the montage by ourselves but dunno where to start. most prob with powerpoint. Simplest mah. There are some couples who did a video of the tea/church ceremony instead. This needs professionals as there is only a very short time between the tea ceremony and dinner. But if nicely done up, it's very romantic and sweet. I have a fren who did this. Think he paid almost $1k for a professional.

 

[tou2]

You girls saw the X's_Wedding fiasco abt the photographer who posted the fake portfolio?

Goodness, SBO even disallowed the name to be posted.

 

[sunny_gal]

me turning 27 tis yr....how abt u, germ?

ha, gina u make us all feel so old.

 

[ublur]

chatter, u got mail..

 

[edna]

hahha no lah....i think few yrs older not much diff..most impt thing is maintain well..and pp cant tell ur age liao

who knows u might look younger than me..heheh so dun worry

 

[cinderella2005]

wah...heee so now i can be more assured that my date is a good date heee...chosen by fengshui shi fu leh..my mum likes fengshui v much too..heee she has all kinds of books...when i read them, i get bored easily

yup initially, we also intend to have it on the same day, but my parents were saying it's going to be v rush...aiyah nvm lah..leave everything to the parents lah..sometimes i really wonder are we the ones getting married or issit our parents

 

[touraco]

germ
i find that their single room is very big also

 

[chatterbox]

blur - where u sent it to?
I din recv leh

 

[icy]

Rosalind,
my videographer will do the photo montage &amp; morning express edit for me. but then I find it very boring to show from young to old pix.. hahaha. but no ideas.
