well girls, i most likely have to do without the banquet now.. my FFIL passed away suddenly on Sunday morning in his sleep... well, he was well & healthy... all of us were shocked.... i know my FH's side being catholics they are not "pandang", but my mum said it is not right to celebrate... so, most likely just have a church wedding...... no chance to wear EG other than the PS now...
hey Diamond.. so sorry to hear about that.. Maybe you can ask your FH to disuss with his family, if they are ok wih going ahead, then go ahead lor. I'm sure your FFIL would have wanted a banquet to celebrate this marriage too..
If really stil cannot have dinner, then maybe you can have a longer and grander reception (i.e: lunch or dinner) then change into your EG as you mingle with your guest lor..

ribbons, FFIL side does not mean. but then, the mother is very weak & not well.. my mum said should not tire her down.. one of his elderly aunties asked him yesterday to hold the wedding within 100 days... when he said, will stick to the same day & maybe skip the dinner, the auntie was not very happy.. when all these are over, i will speak to the hotel to exchange the deposit paid for some other stuff like dinning vouchers, hotel stays, etc. think that wld not be a problem.
fyi, the father has been taking care of her, ferrying her to & from hospital & everything at home for years.. he is her pillar of support... she cannot walk without assistance, she needs help in showering, etc etc.. all these are done by the father.
we are really worried for her

me too.. i think i will leave for my HB house at about 8.30am. Not sure if that's a good timing or not, but since that day is consider a good day, then should be okay right? well, i guess i m not so particular. luckily my ils or my parents did not insist on the timing.
I am with lushqueen, 11am is quite late .. IMO

Diamond: oh my.. ok lah, now that you share that, maybe it really isnt too good to tire the mum further, i am sure she's feeling tired enough as it is.. And since the aunties have said that already.. hmm... then maybe go ahead with your decision to forgo the dinner lor..
BUt can exchange the deposit meh? umm.. refundable meh? check with your hotel ASAP lor..
please watch over your FMIL well k.. she needs a lot of caring at this point in time..

thanks apple & angeldust
ribbons, the contact with the hotel said that in the event that the dinner is cancelled within 90 days of the dinner date, i hv to pay 50% of the total cost... that wld mean that i hv up to mid sept to hit that 90days threshold. have not spoken to FMIL on this... so, dun wan to call hotel yet.
a few of my friends said hotel will be understanding enough b'coz no one wans such things to happen. deposit is not refunable.. but can request to use it for other stuff..

Hi ffbear,
I think you can ask your parents and in laws if they are particular about the timing then ask the shi fu to ccalculate for you. For me, my timing is to reach my in law's place at 830am. So, hmm still ok lah hee.....
Coz I have a fren who is not particular for both sides and they didnt even bother to count the timing.

Hey Diamond
i don't think the hotel would be so unsympathetic to this type of special cases.
I think probably hotel cannot refund you in cash, may be into vouchers. Probably, value wont be equivalent to your deposit too.
This is very trying period for you and your IL's family... do take care!

hi, nami, ur 8.30am timing is calculated by shifu?

Hey diamond,
Sorry to hear about your FFIL *big hug* Hope you get the hotel issues sorted out
Which hotel are you with? Apparently, some hotels do catering too, so you might want to transfer the dinner to a catering at your church? I'm sure the hotel can spruce up the church reception for you and the EG just wear after the church ceremony lah, it's your wedding can be over the top in dressing 
Heehee... or alternatively, just do a simple dinner with close relatives at night and then you can wear the dress too.

I didnt try to change the gowns. Hmm, but for my BS, if you want to change after the gown was confirmed, you have to pay a few hundreds. Not sure of the amount. Why? are you changing your gown?
Hi ffbear,
My timing is sort of calculated by the shi fu. The person said the earlier the better as long as it is before 9am to reach my in law's place. So, we settle at 830am. Coz too early very tiring leh. Come to think of it, it is really 3 months left....wow...still have alot of thgs not done yet leh haha.

Hi blur blur,
I dun have a list of things to do leh. But major ones would be your wine, cards, namelist, meet up with the florists, your songs, sisters and bros duties, guo da li, photo montage and also ang pow box, guest book etc.
Hi Jen T,
Hmm, for my BS, after you have confirmed your gowns, they actually ask us to sign a acknowledgment form on the design etc and there is a clause saying how much you have to pay. Have you checked with your BS? Hmm, do you have pics of your WG? Sounds so interesting leh hee. I wanna have a look keke

hi hi,
it'z very interestin to hear abt perfect marriage! actually when i was younger, i longed for a fairytale marriage... the one that says ONCE UPON A TIME...... LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER... but in this modern society wif so much side tracks, stress from work, etc.. itz not easy to have the most perfect marriage... I do actually agree wif designfreak on loving marriage.. I guess so long as WE DON'T TAKE EACH OTHER FOR GRANTED, always respect each other and treat each other as if we first knew and maintain the fire is a happy marriage. Many marriages broke down cos as time past, either party starts taking things for granted and as time passed, you won't realise and slowly start drifted apart and become like those auntie/uncles shouting at each other.
Me and my hubby has been pa-towing for 10yrs and in between broke up 3x cos of some differences and took each other for granted. but now dat we r back together n after many many more nites of better communication, we are betta n try not to take things for granted. so...
anyway, on the GDL subj, my mom insists dat I must have things like baby bathtub, thread/needle box, etc which i told her i don;t need but she insist must have so nx time will have betta marriage, kids, etc... I oso don;t understand all these customs n traditions... so san nau jing!

Hi Huan,
Oh..i see...but since you've already booked, it's at least a load off your mind! hee..ya, F&E takes planning..but it's kind of exciting. The only thing i'm concerned abt it's safety. The older ppl usually wld advise against F&E....but my frens have done F&E & it seems ok..heh.

Jen T, hmmm.. since it's OTR, I thnk it should be easy to change another gown right? unless your BS need to do alot of alterations to the gown which I don't think so... Talk to ur coordinator and hopefully she will understand your situation.
