Dear gals:
Sorry have been MIA for some time!!!
Busy busy busy...
Banquet...
Marina Mandarin yet to give me the refund of deposit, but most likely next week. Fullerton's Delia is very frenly though she din really accord perks. Oh well, to have a wedding there is great enough!
Renovator...
Joop's Diana has been great! She's the most able to capture our needs and wants and incorporate into the design and theme of my house! I'm really looking forward to the completion of my lovenest... Got my fengshui master Robin to meet with Diana yesterday. He further advised some fengshui stuff at no additional cost! He's really kind and sincerely wanting to help us. Glad we got him! And our flat is good according to fengshui lo.
As for Cis**rn... I couldn't find their number on the internet. Could only leave my particulars online for them to contact me. Vincent was the one who called me up... I didn't quite have a choice who to attend me lo..
Yet to contact them to get back my refund though... Sigh!!!
Theme...
Read you gals talking abt this... Mine would be Red & Gold. Red is romantic, traditional, i like! Gold is grand, goes very well with the Fullerton ballroom...
Gowns
My WG would have an extra fold/layer at the back part of the skirt, to create more of a princessy ballroom gown effect.. hehe.. And Dang might add an organza-like long vest with a train to enhance my EG for the grandeur of the ballroom. Now gotta look for corset and heels! First fitting in end Jan. Will share pix!!!
Wedding Date...
I would most probably be changing my wedding date to 5th Sep instead (Robin my flat's geomancer calculated for me). Cos i have a lotta responsibilities at work the coming year. And with the flat and wedding coming at the same time, im afraid i cant cope. Some more if it's on 28jun, i need to take a few days leave. The new principal may not approve of it... So change to holiday would be safer.. Fullerton, Hilarion my Photog, Adrian Lee my Videog, Eric Tan my MUA are all available on that date. Waiting for David Loh my JP and the in-charge for my red jaguar and the temple uncle who helps to calculate my current date for me (2nd opinion), to see if it's ok.
Would confirm by monday!!! If it's so, then i wun be a June bride like you gals anymore! Sob sob... I'd still come ka chiaw all of you now and then though!
Proposal...
Yes he proposed on sunday night! Some of you might be wondering why so late... Oh well, i wonder too!!! But eventually, he chose this significant day 26 Dec, our original ROM date to propose lo..
He brought me to Mount Faber's The Hill and had dinner, then drove to the Sentosa beach, where the bridge to the southern most point of the continent was. He gave me a card asking for my hand, then asked me to open the boot. I was expecting a bouquet of flowers but to my surprise, there was a whopping 200 roses with baby's breath that filled the whole boot. In the centre was a me-to-you bear, that was holding the jewellery box.
He then took out another bouquet of irises and knelt down with 'will you marry me?'. I made him promise me a number of things before i said ok! hehe... Then i realised he didin't present the ROCK! So i got him to kneel again, he presented the ROCK and slid it up my finger lo.
Nothing very fanciful, but im happy enough! At least he does make the effort to surprise me though i already expect it coming on the day. He spent 5 hours in the sun cutting the roses, plucking the leaves and arranging them nicely lo. So im touched enough
Thanks for all the pix you gals just shared with me!!! I'd come share mine after my March PS! School's starting on Mon... Will be a super busy but fulfilling year ahead!!!
May all of us have a most memorable, merry and healthy 2005!!!
Happy New Year!!!
