(2006) Brides of year 2006

Hey, I was also told to buy 6 sets of new clothes. At first I thought it was my mum who dont know listen from where. Now after reading on the posts, so it is really one of the 'procedure'. Ha ha.

It's not cheap to spend one short on 6 sets of clothes whereby everyone of us here is watching our spending (at least I am).
 


hi count..
shd b ok bah..
i m havin abt 6 jiemei and 6 xiong di..

hi linda!
hw was ur meeting session betw ur parents and inlaws?? nervous anot? awkward?

hi ffbear..
thats gd..
happy.gif
.. i din settle much tis wkend.. onli had my new bed which arrived on sat.. then sun laze at home.. jz pop by westmall to buy settle my last bit of jewellery - earrings..
happy.gif
.. hee... oh.. and tis morn, jz gave the go-ahead to my printing shop.. so shd b able to collect my inserts in a week time? .. hee..

wah.. need to buy soo many sets of new clothes?? i tot onli get new pyjamas leh.. omg.. i hope my in law dun tell me to buy so many new clothes mann.. cz i noe my mum wont.. she is veri sui bian one.. ;p but wat "kinda of" new clothes r we talking abt?? undergarments oso considered? ;p

btw, any of u gurls already bought those "wedding items" from the chinatown shops? .. i m wonderin when i shd go and buy leh.. ;p ..
 
heehee...yah lorh. Dunno why need so many sets of new clothes. I think the idea is like...in old days, the wifey will leave the village to go to the other village etc...and so needs some sets of new clothes to start her new life in the other village. Not so nice if she were to bring old clothes to her husband house...kinda idea. As for what kind of clothes. I have no idea. I'm only thankful I bought quite a bit of new clothes during the GSS and I haven't taken them out to wear yet (see lah, buy already, never wear. sure kena nag by FH next time), so I'm gonna use those as part of the number of new clothes. heehee...
happy.gif
 
hey charly.. thanks... ur photos oso a lot leh... that was the final layout of the album rite? ur BS allows taking back of final layout ar... i thot normally couldnt leh... you are so tall and slim... and btw, i love ur AD gown... very nice with the embroideries.... =)
 
shermaine, u r not the only one. i am watching my spending very very closely lately.. I can't afford to pay out too much for any extras..

Jen T, i have not get those items also.. hope to "bypass" that process leh..

My HB finally start to RSVP last weekend.. Tough job leh.. wonder if we are too "unpopular" or pple really need time to revert. Some say don't know, some not sure.. but there are nice ones who agree and reply immediately..
HB started working on montage already. We went shopping for household electrical appliances and we have spend another $500.. got rice cooker, deep dryer, microwave etc..

So happy, my FIL surprised us with extra wedding favours for our wedding. He's getting us leather passport folders for our guests. So think our guests will have 2 wedding favours, one from hotel, one from my FIL..

hi, CSI Fan,
wow, u win liao loh.. 12 sets!! my mum told me 8, I bargined to 4.. she said 4 not nice number, so we agreed to 6.. hahaha.. but I oso hv 1 set new clothes fr GSS sale not worn yet.. then bought 2 over last weekend, stil got 3 more to go.. yeah!
yes.. tis procedure is for real.. like I mentioned, it is part of the å«å¦† tat we bringing over to the new house.. the bride oni, groom no need.. 6 sets = top + bottom..
precisely.. the thg is I dont hv the extra time to go shopping (not tat I dont like shopping.. kekeke) & oso dont hv the extra cash to buy liao.. the good news is pyjamas counted.. yeah! so, gg to rush down to Giodano? hahahaha...
Jen T, I dont dare to ask my mum wht undergarments considered anot.. I scared she ll scream the hell out of me.. hahahhaha..
hi, blurblur,
ur figure like tat call OK.. tat mine is definitely NOT ok.. faint..
 
Hi blurblur,silent….gald to hear that yr hubbies will be doing the GDL alone, cos for me, I cant find any mei po…maybe will ask my BIL to help him with the cakes…some confectionary do provide delivery service mah, so jus need 1 more helper will do lar.

Blur, wow…yr guest will have 2 wedding favours…I guess they will go home happily….
 
soudez,

not really that alot lah. 45 photos i think. very little compared to those with 60 over! and i am only 155... look tall becoz of YELLOW PAGES! heh... =) erm, my BS allows me to take the touchup photos of those i selected, and also the final layout. actually the initial layout also can take but i forgot to bring CD to copy, so nmind lah. u mean some BS doesn't allow that?

huey check ur email for multiply invite.
 
hi blur..

hi ffbear..
hehe... y wld ur mum scream the hell out of u?? .. undergarment can b considered as new rite? hehe...
 
jkit, u got mail.

ffbear, so funnie.. still can bargain one eh? in fact i got lots of new clothes to wear.. so if mum realy suggest that, i think should not be a problem.. keke cos i always do a lot of shopping.undergarment if wan new one very jia lat leh.. undergarments are more ex then normal top and bottom in my opinion.. haha

Jen, ya.. i came to realise that many brides here also like tt.. but funnie leh.. whenever i received invitation via sms from my friends, i wil lusually reply immediately if not shortly one lo.. I thought everyone is the same as me.. hahaha
 
Hi gals,

happy.gif
Then you gals must be busy shopping for new clothes then!
Hmm, dun think i will have a mei po leh. Probably 1 of my aunties will act as one haha.
Hmm, RSVP is really like that. Me having a headache too. But I guess this is part and parcel of it leh. What to do.....Just pray hard that majority of our guests can make it and wont fly our kites!
happy.gif
 
vonn, we too... in fact , it's my mum who say don't need a meipo.. so good for us..

Hi Ladies

Guess all are very excited. Hee Hee. Me too my gdl is this coming Saturday. I just sent out all my friends invitation cards yesterday. Think they will received my cards soon.


By the way, my hubby's friends told him that we have to prepare a thank you speech during the wedding banquet. May I know what is a thank you speech??? And is there any sample for me to see??? just wondering.... Do anyone has a copy of the thank u speech. Can email a copy to me [email protected]. Thank You So Much.


I am really worried, so many eyes looking at me. I will be too nervous, until I cannot give out my thank you speech properly. Hee Hee

Yesterday, I also went to ASA travel agency for the briefing to Korea honeymoon trip. And the tour agency staff gave us some tips on what items to purchase in Korea. Their staff is very nice and friendly and also gave us a lot of freebies. They even gave us a small cooker too. Next time, I can cook good soup for my hubby to drink. Hee Hee

hey vonn

i just had my GDL. My mum insisted to have a 'meipo' but we made things easier by getting my hb's aunt to play 'meipo'. He turned up with his aunt and 2 friends.

Count

like you, I have 4 jiemeis and 1 maid of honour. And hb has 1 bestman and 5 official xiongdis, but apparently, we are expecting about 20+ other unofficial xiongdis to turn up.

adel

The new clothes are part of your 'jia chuang'. Brides in olden days have to sew their own (aka nu hong) and the clothes must fill at least 1 chest. That's why last time nu zi wu cai bian shi de, cos so long they know how to do chores, embroidery, etc can liao.

Hey gals,
How are u all doing up the seating plans? Having huge headaches now! My parents have tables with 9 persons and they don't want to split the guests up?! And they expect me to split my frens to fill up the gaps or leave it empty!
sad.gif
 
tingz, shld go back to ur in law place first...then after tea ceremony u hv to change to ur tea dress then go back to ur parent place.

for me, after tea ceremony at my in law place, we will go back to our new hse and i will change to my tea dress there before gng back to my parent place....
 
Tingz, i think by traditionally he will fetch u to his home to 'marry u in' to his family first, then to new place. But by logic, shldn't he FETCH u to the new place first then pay respects to his family later?

Anyway, i know there are some ppl who have parents in the new place so do tea ceremony there as well. it's convenient, but i persnoally prefer to do 2 different places.

can't believe it's already oct this weekend!
 
hi count..
i m now not too sure also.. trying to get ppl to rsvp quick so that i can arrange the seating ... i tink if its 9 person.. difficult to jz fill up that one person gap.. unless he/she noe that 9 others.. another way is to split those 9 ppl liaoz.. but u mention that ur parents dun wan rite? .. hmm.. i m oso worried for my side leh.. duno whether wil b end up to v alot of 9 ppl per table anot.. haiz.. sure lugi lots lots mann.. goin to v big headache liaoz.. wat abt the other gurls?
 
happy, someone has posted T&T's email address & phone in this forum earlier. maybe you can check that out on any queries that you may have...
 
"skinny"? 10kg no joke leh...
I had given up on my hse cleaning...
It cannot be clean for more than 1hr...
always dirty...
I mop the flr on Sun, & its dirtied on Sun.
 
the sequence shld be to the wife's place to fetch her, then go back to guy's parents place. then go back to wife's place. then back to guy's place. change clothes. then go back to wife's place last time. then to new home if have. or proceed to hotel.
 


blur, after c yr photo, u called yrsf OK ah, then i really need to be on diet to become OK liao....

i dont need peipo and clothes stuff for GDL, good. heehee... but for si dian jin, im scared i will exceed my MIL's budget. can i top up? anyone did that before or im too much.... =P
