(2006) Brides of year 2006

sam, you chose this man of your life yourself right? u know from the start u are paying for most of the wedding cost right? if so, dont hv to be so upset abt it right?? part of the expenses u paid can be covered by the APs...

btw, when is your AD? not then take studio foto, enough time?
 


SamKoh~groom's side 3gu6po will think a bit more if bride's take 8 tables, but bride's side 3gu6po will think 8 tables alright wat! haha!
For my case,hb and me already discuss for it lar...Since we pay for everything, we can decide how many tables for both side parents. Before both parents discuss,my mum already asked me how many tables she can have it. I just straight away tell her, 1 table also no need to ask. How many table she want it, just let me know, I will pay for her. Everything is pay by us wat (hb and me)of course
 
reismion..
tink i wil understand hw u feel soon.. when its my turn.. hehe.. in any case.. jiayou jiayou leh!! ..

My AD 30 Dec 06. Dunno whether the PS can make it or not. So close oredi.

Please lor... MIL's old neighbour daringly ask for a whole table for her family lor... When I tell MIL maybe not enuf table, she like not happy lor. Not even related dare to ask for whole table. Later if she give $200.00 AP for whole table then I laugh lor...

318bi - you are so right... Can chose HB cannot chose PIL.

Diamond - you are lucky that they even ask you how many table they can have. I not so lucky. HB no use one. Cannot make decision. Then when i grumble to him, he not happy. Want to discuss things with him, must see his mood. See la... how to do things? Lucky can vent my frus here. No1 show me face. Even if show face oso cannot see. hahaha.... My greatest fear is that the AP collected not enuf to cover.

Hi Blur & Jen T,
I have just booked my caterer, Angeli Catering today haha. They are pretty good as I have good comments about them when I ordered for my housewarming. It's reasonably priced too but they are quite popular which is why I booked like a month in advance.

Gals,
Just went for my food tasting yesterday hee. Hmm, everything went well and not as awkward as I thought so was pretty happy about it keke. We went to view the ballroom too so that our parents can have a look and they actually light up the garden for us. I was quite excited and happy to see the night view coz to be frank, I have never seen it before haha.
This weekend will be having my sisters meeting keke. And Blur, finally I am going to pick up my corsages.....haha...

<font color="0077aa">sorry to interrrupt.. sam, no pt you only vent your frustration.. perhaps you should talk over the whole thing with your hb.. wedding is between 2 of you.. so is the marriage.. you cant be shouldering everything.. its not being abt feminist.. its about sharing the responsibilities as man and wife.. at the very least, he shouldnt be adding more burden to you if finances is tied.. i admire you for your strength but you gotta let your hh know your situation too.. communicate with him.. dun be too hard on yourself k?</font>
 
Diamond - Not particular...sometimes its rather believe then not to believe..afterall we all want our marriages to work out and be everlasting right?

Samkoh - I understand your unhappiness...all girls like to depend on their hubbys but seems like in your case, your hubby depends on u..and his parents too. Perhaps you wan to have a nice talk with him (try not to flare up) and tell him about ur unhappiness. Just curious, if he no $$, why wanna get married? Shld ask him to save up first right?

If his parents got spare cash, shld ask them to help out..afterall, ur hubby is their son. And if they intend to let u and hubby support them in the future, they should help u guys out. Of cos, can't use too much of their money..all old folks wanna keep some for themselves in order to feel secure.
 
Pandalic / Tingting - thanks for you concern. The problem is he is very chauvinistic. When I try to talk to him about $$, I'm not the one who will flare up. I oso dun want to use his parents' money. Get married cos want his dad to see grandchild b4 he die la. My HB got no fix job. he oso dunno how to save $$ lor. When got a bit, he want to buy this but that. Aiya... see how la. walk one step see one step lor...

Actually I got no intention to get married this year. Just September MIL then suddenly say get married by this year. Imagine my reaction. Such short notice I oso kan cheong liao. Looking for location not easy lor. But I'm lucky to find some place cheap but not so cheap and can accomodate us. Then PIL want this want that but neva come out $$. How? Bo pian lor. Die die oso must do liao.

Becos FIL health not so good. He have to go for regular medical check ups. Sometimes $100+ oso I pay for him. A bit from everywhere really add up.

Gals, thanks for lending a ear (or rather eyes) Letting off really help. Dun worry about me. I will grin and bear with it. Dunno when will I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

sam, your FIL goes for regular check up still not as bad as my FMIL.... she goes 3 times a week for treatment... and 1 mth, it will cost 2500 bucks. that is excl medicine &amp; other treatments.. like this mth... the bill now is abt 7-8k already.... sigh...
 
Diamond - But you don't have to pay for her right? Medical is so expensive nowadays. Really lor... Can Die But Cannot Fall Sick.

My FIL got problem with his lungs. Oxygen intake is only 50% of what normally needed. A bit of movement and he'll be out of breath. No medicine can help him. HB now say want to buy him a oxygen concentrator for him. Cost $5k+ not including accessories. I tink total cost around $8K or more. I hope they don't expect me to pay again. I'll have to put my foot down this time. They got money they can pay themselves. I can't be paying all the time. Later I don't have enuf to pay for the house. how? All sleep at road side la? Next time I got no money to pay for my own medical. how? They are not gonna pay for me. I have to take care of myself if their son can't take care of me. Sigh...... Luckily my parents take care of themselves if not I sure die.
 
thanks for all the recommendation for the caterer. I will KIV them... my parents and in laws has not confirm the final number of people having lunch buffet.. abt 3 more wks to go and I am still so slack..

getting a little nervous now.. had a nightmare again lately.. dreamt that my parents told my relatives the wrong date and no one turn up for my wedding!!! so scary that I woke up!
 
sam, wow, u can still take out 8k despite all the wedding cost?

same as me, i do not have to worry abt the medical cost of my parents 'coz it will be paid by the government.. hahahaha
 
SamKoh~What kind of oxygen concentrator he needed?

Diamond~7-8k for 1 month?

I also not so worry for my MIL medical cost,coz she cover insurance for herself. My own parents also will take care by my brother. Hahaha!
 
318, yes, for this mth..

in normal mths, she cost abt $5k a mth...provided that she does not go for additional treatment, does not stay in the hospital etc.

her 1 stay in the hospital cost 50-60K!!
last oct she stayed once, this june/july she stayed another time... so u know within a period of <1yr, how much she has already cost the family
 
Diamond~ like a big bomb.... does the insurance cover the hospital bill? salary also not enough to cover the bills right? really sad to hear that
 
ice, u still hv nt return ur gown!!!! OMG!!!! we super kia su....return the very next day....wahahaha....

lai lai lai....let play MJ lah.....wahahaha.....dun wait till tansy back....

cat ur MJ skill got improved bo?
 
Samkoh, glad to know you're still positive amidst all the problems...getting married should be a happy event...try not to brood over too much on those negative stuff..perhaps you can concentrate on happier things like nice things your hubby did for you when he was wooing you etc..this will help to keep you in a cheerful mood. Hope you'll b a happy bride on your wedding!
 
keke!! dunno if they too busy and forgot about me! They never even call me to chase! tonight my last night with my gown.. shall hug it to sleep! kekekeke!!! :D

cat how? you confident or not?
 
318, no insurance. how many folks our parents' time buy insurance? even if she has bought insurance, there is still a cap wat.... fyi, for the past 17 yrs, she has easily spent 1/2 a million...

well, the sister &amp; BIL are doing very very well &amp; have no kids... 5k a mth is not even 50% of the sister's pay. but then, it is still financially very strain lah... esp when so much money is involved
 
Diamond~ yes, it is still financially very strain. How many family can affort such high medical bills? No matter how we still have to take care our parents!
