(2006) Brides of year 2006


vio..me same case as you started a account with him last year but till todate we both heee never put money inside. i guess not used to it.. we just keep in our regular bank...

but i have to be frank he say he be contributing for the house stuff nick nacks stuff he's paying but of course some stuff I also paid lah but like FS master money he never ask from me or what leh... I offered him and he say no need.. hee...and since he is going away to work his income is going to increase twice fold so hmmmm no need to say i think he going to save more money lah.. and suddenly like so nice.. last week he told me .. you also no money always pay the school fees and all i see what i can pay from myside you dont worry so much... so hmmm i will keep money aside lah and contribute when the wedding really occur lah.. heee

but before .. our money is divided very clearly.. soemtimes he treat dinner and sometime i pay for dinner so in a way we both share our expense equally.. so vio.. you are not alone.. I think once your FH earn more money he assume responsibilites as it is.. no worries.. guys are like that...

dub.. no wonder 1 month can save so much lah.. expense hubby pay! we not possible lah.. still got to give mum allowance, pay bills, living expenses and all..
 
Which place u like? I mean the package is like GWC
Fullerton - mon-thurs min 30 table, fri & sun min 35 table & sat min 40 table.

GWC - mon- thurs min 35, fri & sun min 40 and sat min 45!!!

Considering M hotel, I'll be gg to the show this coming sunday at M hotel. I'm there actually to see the place and eat the 5 couse wedding menu. Not so keen on the wedding show actually.
 
hmmm i have been to GWC already..
haven't been to Fullerton yet..
so going to see..

u were saying that we could actually use their other ballrooms rite? not the main one???
 
Ling,

ur case both din put money in joint but still keep some money yourself. Mine, i put money in joint, he don't. and we both dun have so called own savings. I'm currently saving up to pay my relative the money we loan for my Uk studies. Actually hit the target and can pay back liao, but because of the 1rm flat we bought, he no money, his parent also no $$ then took some money from my study loan savings and our joint acct to pay the cash portion. So now I'm like saving neverendlessly... Very tired. I hope to finish my study debt by next CNY. I think we are to case whereby, his parents got no $ for him to marry kind. All will depend on urself, gotta take care of ur self liao lor... Thats y so old liao still not married. They dare to complain to us that we not young liao etc... No $ how to get married. *fumed*
 
Rach,

I think they have 1 ballroom and 1 straits rm only. straits rm is not very big. But is definetly nicer than the ballroom. U'll see what i mean after i email u tonight.
 
okie..
thanks vio!!

vio dun be angry lah
happy.gif

i graduated 1 yr earlier than my FH, so started working first. during that period, i try not to let him 'treat' me cos he still student mah. we jus eat fast food lor or eat at home. but after he started working , better liaoz.

he doesnt pay for my expenses now, when i buy clothes i pay for it myself too. (even if he offer to pay for me)dun want to spend his money yet.... wait till i become Mrs XXX then heheheheheh... coe i think evryone got bills/commitment.... sch fees, allowances to parents, car (for him) , utilities bills...
 
vio, think u r v independent ! since he not putting in money, y dun u save separately like ling ?
money always an issue in relationship...
sad.gif
 
gals ah..
guess we are all the same except for dubdub..
i also paid for tings all myself.. even food.. i find that it's ok with me.. as long as he contributes to our joint acc.. coz i understand everyone has their own expenses to cover.. can't expect him to pay for everyting.. wil b very shiong...
 
vio,

Ai yah.. me no better off than you... paying through my nose for my tuition fees with monash.. me taking distance study and bfrd with NUS PT as well. So hmmm you can say we both kinda cash short as well. That is the reason why he is taking a new posting in China hoping to bring more dough in. However frankly I rather he not go... but for experience sake, I think he really was keen to go so no choice lah.

Anyway I would have put money into it if only he does =P so he didnt than I also didnt loh.. but almost sama lah... so old liao still like penniless...

As long as you both trod on the same path and ike it out together. I am sure you get to it lah. Also lah our both set of parents not coming up with money for us to get married because I think is really our wedding lah so why have to use the old folks money.

I know sometimes it get demoralizing when you see ppl plan a fairytale like wedding. However you must know only 2-3 ppl is having those sorta wedding compared to the rest of us having mere mortal weddings..so have fun planning lah.. dont worry abt the little stuff...
 
he earns more than i do. dun whether to be happie or not. i used to have much better results than him in sch though we diff faculty.

vio, like wat ling said, plan the wedding within our limits lor. as long as we r happie, think budget also can have nice wedding. my dream wedding emphasize more on the atmosphere.
happy.gif
expensive doesnt means good mah. but of course..... i dun mind having more cash ..... i m a contradicting gal...
 
hi gers

talking about join acct...guess i have the same mentality as bugbear...my $$ is mine and his $$ is also mine...hahhaa...anyway he paying for the wedding so i told him my money is for me to shop and destress...think i made him stress...hehehe...guess the joint account will only come in after marriage where we save for household bills and children's education...

i used to hv a joint acct with my ex b4...also talking abt marriage and stuff...but i have been the one putting money inside..actually he din even put in money...little do i know that he was sian of me...kept pushing me off when i wanna meet and then broke off with me saying he not ready to commit...then within a few mths got a new gf...sighz..anyway he also broke off with that ger..now got another pretty one...guys...i am glad my bf now is stable. guess due to this, i am also more careful with my $$
 
what cindee experienced is exactly what i always feared.... at least he nv run away with ur money.
really gals must be careful with money. cannot be too trusting. if not money n bf noth lost at the same time then very pitiful...
 
yaaa yami..
really scary rite..
tat's y i say gals shld keep some money by their side.. n not give everyting in the joint acc..
or else u might end up losing everyting..
sighh
 
yami.. i think the working world rather male dominated lah.. most of the time they earn more than us if we study to the same level.. dont know why huh!

alamak regarding the 'bao lu' ex bfrd... hmmmm that is a scary thought as well but I guess that is when we are hmmm late teens to very early 20s lah hor.. not hopefully no such things.. but then again it wont affect us since we are all so smart liao!
 
Racherlle

bugbear

Hi All,

Thanks for all ur comments... I think I just hack all the stuff just go prepare all i want. If he still dunwanna do anything I'll just tell him to have the dinner when he's ready else just wait for the hse to come in 2007 then Ad lor. I just dunwanna hear all those nonsense from his mom ok liao. I'm actually ok with her for most of the things only that the wedding issue make us fumming away.

Dub,
Like u, bout 60% of my take home pay goes to my mom, study loan savings, and joint acct savings. The rest goes to daily expenses & insurance. HB only paid for food. Sometimes(rarely lah) will ask him to buy me things haha...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How's the gown hunting for the gals? Any new findings?
 
nicnic, i also considering meritius mandarin
happy.gif

think location not bad, but haven seen the ballroom yet.

ling, i also think guys generally better paid... both for mine he started later cos of NS, so if he earns less than me hor then i think Ad 2008 liaoz...
happy.gif
 
dub.. you not lucky just very lucky... no wonder 1 month spend 400 of your salary! me give mum ald 400... how to save like you. we on top of everything same as you.. just that we spend everything from OUR OWN salary...

I thought work at stat board is okay.. good.. but didnt know is this good...so much pay and all! wah lau... dammit envious..
 
nicnic, gd to hear that coordinator helpful. cos our wedding 2006 mah, scared they not interested in us yet. tat's y haven visit the ballroom. (another reason is that i m plain lazy lah)

anyway afer startin joint account, i started creating hardcopy folders n note books for me to record all the wedding related stuff... n store all the printouts form u gals (btw, blur i haven receive ur hyatt package leh)
 
Vio, i think u mixed up liao...not my FH that gives double...he just give me a comfy sum to keep...i din even tell him how much i put aside...i don have joint ac with my FH...he monthly will give me a sum for safe-keeping for the wedding adn stuffs lor...

Actually, me quite similar situation as u lor...my FH got a lot more commitments than i do...so i don't and can't really expect too much from him...and i have to chip in quite a bit for the wedding...sometimes will feel as if why i am putting in so much more than he is...but well...

So don be so demoralized k...i am no better than u
sad.gif
me understand how u feel...
 
when i was younger, i always tot wedding guy pay for everything..... but aiayh wedding too ex in spore... unless i marry much older man or get married at older age.
sad.gif


so nvm lor, i help also. he appreciates the help too :P afterall its our wedding, so save save save... working with a budget is fine with me, try to put what i learn in biz sch to use.

vio, i m the one. FH gives double into joint account. (cos he earns much more mah) but we just started lah. scarlli after a while he cannot tahan. dunnoe leh, i just try to maintain happie happie mood while planning. wedding supposed to be happie, try not to quarrel over wedding stuff.
anyway his younger bro prob dun know how hard to book banquet/plan wedding cos no experience mah.
some pple think very easy, just go book hotel and BS can liaoz.
 
Yami...got any template on budgeting to share with me?

I tried working up a budget...but each time i review the budget...sure to find that i missed out something here and there
sad.gif
and as a result...budget always increase.
 
yami, yup some pple are like that one, thot is very easy. when i doing my rom that time, my colleague keep telling me is very easy one, just bring a pen go down to rom premise and sign will do
 
hahah...dubdub...of course different...urs is the fairy tale wedding...very different lah...

reckon it all voice down to expectation. if u are not particular abt dress, where to eat after that etc...then practically is relly bring a pen down, sign and go home
happy.gif
 
they told me is a waste of money, prepare so many thing, mabbe after 1 yr, i might end up divorce. so advice me not to spend
 
bugbear what's ur email? i send to u. but i just started on this one....so need a lot of modifications still.
happy.gif


i took out the income part cos confidential kekeke
 
dubdub, how can ur colleague say that?? joking one ah? or suan u?

actually ROM dun need much preparation, but i enjoy the process of thinking what to wear, what decor i want....then i do research on handmade wedding favours etc etc.... so planning for wedding is like a 'hobby' to me.

this is what i intend to do for ROM favours...nice??

yami, they very jealous that i found a good hubby, so keep suan me lor and hope that all the bad thing fall on me. when i prepare my rom that time, they keep telling me that since my hubby so good, sure wont be faithful to me one, mabbe outside got 1 woman i also dun know. the wedding favors i also plan to do these that time, but my guest dun really like chocolate
 
when co got function , normally my hubby will wait outside for me till the program end. beco he afraid that is unsafe for me to go home alone. so my colleagues always saw him. mabbe their hubby or bf didnt react this way, so they always suan me lor
 
Hello gals....I am back...kekekekeke
happy.gif
Sorry for MIA in the morning....
blush.gif


So u gals now are talking abt joint account...I open joint account with my FH after we were together for 2 years...but all depleted cos we went overseas to study together....after we came back the joint account hardly grow...Now I have to force myself and FH to contribute $$ inside.... Then just now he said since I wanted him to contribute to the joint account then the things I charged to his credit card account I have to pay for myself...sigh...yami...become MRS XXX also no use ah...have to pay things for myself okie....sigh...

dun know leh, usually pple see ur hubby good should be happie for u one mah.

maybe they dun like hearing abt ur rom/wedding planning lor, there might be pple who dun understand y we plan so much for rom/wedding etc. like i hardly tell my frens/colleagues abt my planning cos they will think its too early.

think i m a lucky gal, all my colleagues/ex-colleagues are angels...
happy.gif
 
Hiya Ching!! Welcome back...heheh...

Hahah...ur FH very cute!

Dubdub...ur friends and colleagues why like that one? so bad of them to 'curse' u like that leh...
My FH also will come fetch me after company events or wot...but usually after he send me there, i will ask him to go back eat, rest and wot not...then when almost time then he come and fetch me home...

Ur hubby very poor thing leh...while u enjoy the event, he waiting alone outside for u? No dinner for him?
 
yami, something is very sad one, i plan so much for rom, and they just pour cold water. telling me that spend so much for wat, is only for a 1 day event. just tell ur parents and in law, if they wan to have wedding dinner and so on, tell them u have no money. think for urself, parents and in law have no rights to ask for anything in wedding
 
dubdub...it's indeed sad that they say such things lah...but then again they are also correct in the sense that u spend so much on the wedding and hse and stuffs...but have u thought of the future...it's still a long way to go lor...while u plan for the 1 day event...must also plan for rainy days mah...u never know when u will need a sum of $$ right?
 
bugbear, he will go for dinner first then wait for me outside. he said is co function, is not good for him to be there. then when they saw my hubby they will tell him that wait for ur wife outside also no use, if meant to be divorce , it will happen in the end. beco of this, got 1 time, i felt so depressed and mood swing and almost dun have faith in my hubby
 
then next time dun tell them abt ur wedding. sicne they always suan u.
sad.gif
tell pple who r interested, liek us ! heheh

but sad to have such colleagues.

diff pple diff mentality, some brides here arguing with their parents/in laws becos they DUN want banquet. so ur colleague maybe same kind lor, feels that wedding is a hassle.
 


CHing i sent u the mail liaoz! u r our thread coordinator...thanks for updating the table above! good overview of all of us here.
happy.gif

maybe can add remarks column :

e.g. DubDub = dream fairy tale wedding
yamiyogurt = no money wedding hahaha

kidding.... dubdub dun be offended.
