Hi Magical

Oic... yar.. Don dun do photography. Actually, it is better to have video. Lots of my married frens told me that after marriage, they will tend to take out their video to see rather than photo coz the photos are too heavy..so they kept in the store rm.. while for video, it is lighter and very visual and they can laugh at themselves how funny they were on their AD..I think video is good coz we can know recap the whole event, especially the gatecrash which we might not be able to know what happen. If you really dun have the budget, you might probably ask your frens to help u to do videography too..that's our once in a lifetime thing..worth to capture.

 

[kaye]

HELP!!!!
I realized I left abt 6mths to the wedding.....!!!!!!!
N I didnt do anything....

Hi Shelyn

I have a videographer to recommend - Don. His website is www.forestprovideo.com. But his charges is $650. However, i think his works consider quite cheap coz his videography is really nice. I am getting him too. You might want to consider coz once in a lifetime..

Hi Chaiyo,

Is it true that married girl cannot be jiemei anymore huh?

 

[krisjon]

Hi Ladies


Sinkor > I a bit kiasu lah... but Fengjie said it will be ready by my studio PS. Have one kinmono, but my hubby said very very weird wearing that for dinner...


Jes > Gosh, you are so pretty in the pictures...

Is that Singapore Zoological Garden? Tell you the truth, this is the most romantic things that he ever wrote and read... lolz... My accupunture starts only this coming Saturday... well, 3 more days to go

Faintz, Seepysleep & Lovebug > U've got mail

Ooshie > Dun stress okay... Believe that you are not as fleshy as I am... 3 more months to my PS... at least you still have 2 more months allowance.

Dun worry, first fitting is always fun.

Chaiyo > What happen? What is with the effect and ballroom??? Care to share???

Sinkor > All my jiemei are married...

 

[lipstar]

Hazel: 1st riddle: One brother kills the other, so he gets all the inheritance!

Idyll: No leh, no epiphany. Yesterday whole day had headache since 3pm, but early afternoon oredi agreed to go shopping with me best friend, so I went ahead despite the headache, cos didn't want to disappoint her.
But miraculously, the headache disappeared while I was shopping! Shopped so happily man!

But once reach home, headache resumed. -_- Thus, at nite, after shower, I surf net a while more went to sleep. But the headache was so bad I had to toss and turn for an hour before I can sleep.

Me haven't panicked yet. Don't care. Later then panic.

 

[lipstar]

Hazel: I find the 2nd riddle very familiar, but I can't recall the answer. So I anyhow guess.

The boy said "The last person to reach the destination is an ass."

 

[chobits_lek]

Hi Sinkor & Chaiyo,
Think married gers can still be jie mei but cannot be bridesmaid oni.

Hi Jes, Can share with me your rom pics? my email is [email protected]

 

[magic_alz]

hi xxiao!
yeah my relative will def be capturing the video for us..but not gonna take a pro lah..=)

 

[suishi]

Hi Maniac,

I dun have an idea on what type of song to be play, all i'm looking for some instrumental song without the singing part. Any suggestion?

 

[sinkor]

Hi GingerCat & Chobits,

Oh... Thanks... bcos most of my jiemei are married (ROM) as for bridesmaid, I dun have any leh.... is it a must to have a bridesmaid? *lost*

 

[chobits_lek]

Hi Sinkor,
Think nowadays people seldom have bridesmaid. =)

 

[kaye]

1st Riddle:
Brother A divide the inheritance into 2....Brother B choose the inheritance 1st...cos if Brother A didnt divide properly & let Brother B may get more...but if he can divide nicely...Brother B choose whichever inheritance also can...

2nd Riddle:
These 2 men exchange donkeys....So, they quickly ride the donkeys to the destination as they are not riding their own donkeys....So if A reach the destination 1st, he's the winner as he's riding B's donkey. The rules are which donkey reach destination last is the winner.

 

[qq77]

good afternoon snowy,
my hotel package have either free flow of wine or beer, so i took free flow of wine. not going to have beer. only wine and hard liquor for my wedding dinner.

newbbi,
which did you choose wine or beer?

 

[sinkor]

Hi Chobits,

Ya.... bcos budget constraint.... if bridesmaid, have to settle her gown too!

Cheers

 

[angeldust]

Proffy,

u very leng xue (cold blooded).. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

 

[lilic]

angeldust

sama sama lar.. hahahahah... angel??? *thinking hard*

 

[ash22]

hi maniac,

can i have the wedding planner contact no?

my email is [email protected]

 

[chaiyo]

Hi sinkor,
I have seen married gals still be jie mei lor. Married as in customary liao. But my hse got granny and my mum quite 'pandang' lor. She say scare the married jie mei dunno she herself is pregnant (maybe 1 or 2mths still dunno mah). So will 'chong' dunno wat lor.

Hi GingerCat,
I feel the ballroom not very romantic n class lor. And the march in aisle is not straight. Partly becos of the table setting. And hor, the door tat the bride n groom is transparent so guests can see they waiting there b4 the right time to march in.

 

[timminbuzz]

lovebug...
I'm having my church, tea ceremony and dinner all on the same day. Hopefully can squeeze in some time for outdoor shoot with my bridal party in between. =)

chobits...
married gals can be bridesmaids, usually as the matron of honour.

sinkor...
it's not a must to have a bridesmaid. I won't be having jie meis cos we decided not to have the morning "pick up" from house thing and just meet in church. So I'm having 3 bridesmaids who are walking down the aisle before me. Yeah...have to pay for their gowns.

 

[sinkor]

Hi Chaiyo,

Thanks for your info. I think also play safe.... better look for those single jie mei! haha...

Hi timminbuzz,

wow! so u "minus" away the morning "pick up" and meet straight at church... really save a lot of time so i think sure have some other time for outdoor shooting!

Cheers

 

[timminbuzz]

sinkor...
yeah...save time plus save the ang paos I've to give and spend them on the dresses And of cos I get more precious sleep! haha

 

[maniac]

Dear Ash, I have sent you the contacts.

Hope you get the special package.

Sushi - I'm also not sure, dun listen to music much. I only know that I don't want Jazz. hehe. Think I will just leave this task to my wedding planner. haha.

 

[lovebug]

Hi Gingercat!
Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures!

Hi Timminbuzz!
Actually, I'd like to have everything on one day, but my FH prefer it on 2days, so that we'll not be too tired out. O'well, he suggested it, and ok with paying the surcharge for make up and AD photography, I'm fine hehe.. =)

Now, I'm contemplating if I should engage videographer, coz after viewing 2 of my fren's recent wedding DVD, it's actually pretty good to recall those sweet memory... hmm, looking for a sponsor for it haha.. =p

 

[blissfulme]

hmm another idea my sis used at her M Hotel wedding in June this year was balloons..gold and silver.. this looks gd provided u have a high ceiling... and the kids get to take back the balloons at the end of the nite.. ahah *my playful cousins grabbed them before dessert is served*

I've checked the balloons with my restaurant, they are charging $1.20 per balloon...

 

[jeanng79]

marnie,

Sure, will take some pics if can and post it here...

 

[pudgyme]

muhahahah...

*dreamy* dreamy* yes, ballons crossed my minds too.. but we will be getting the function rms, so its of lower ceiling.. not v suitable.. i tink... its supposed to be an intimate & cosy wedding, but neither do we want to turn to a squeezy afair, heehee... tks abliss

but im also tinking of jus adding afew ballons at some strategic locations.. maybe only at a few tables or jus at the side, so it wont block anyone's view..

 

[lipstar]

Hazel: I don't quite understand the answer to Riddle A.

 

[prinzess55]

chomecc ..i not stamford but canning ballroom la.. cant confirm enough no. of tables.

your husband so sweet BSProf..so you everything confirmed lo.. hmm you going to stay in east coast

i go roller blading every sun...

[trina_wys]

hi joy,

ok.. i'll upload ur hotel tmr with the info..

hi chomecc,

wah.. u took fabiam lim.. he's so ex..

my PG's website is www.f*tohemes.com (replace * with o) i love his work too.. and he's basic is only $700.. so he's really resonable..

 

[childlike]

Jean : Ooooh!!! Thanks...I LURVE looking at pictures of dresses.....What colour will your EG be? I think you may be told us previously but I have forgotten (as usual!)

Hazel : Me too..Don't get 'em..Maybe I'm just too spaced out this week....

Turin : I went shopping today but ended up buying stuff I was not really looking for. Cards and a larnyard. Hmm...where are the beautiful peep-toe shoes and nice shoulder/tote bags?!!?

 

[wtan]

Hi hi ladies..
I m back..heehee..wah..thk u very very much for the well-wishes..really very nice of everyone..i must say that it is indeed very different when u r the bride..i m back to work in office..clearing some work..haha..but i must say that indeed my helpers despite being 1st time xiong-dis & jie-meis did a very good job for us..even thou it's kinda messy but everyone enjoyed themselves alot..heehee..indeed a very memorable & sweet moment for us...hee..

Here is an update for my wedding: -
Customary on 30th: hubby came to pick me up at 9am..i must say that my sisters really gave a very hard time to my hubby & his brothers..esp my own sister, she actually prepared red underwear w/ gold color "Fu" & ask him to wear it & do pole-dancing..haha..i m looking forward to see the videoclips..also made his brothers ate the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy stuff..the bothers very on? all eat finished..actually I was quite worried that it might rain on the day..but luckily it did not..we went to national orchid gardens for our outdoor photoshoot..it is quite fun..it so happened that there is a group of children that was on excursion & our photographer actually asked the children to take photos w/ us..they were wearing colorful t-shirts, so all the little children gathered ard us & took photos w/ us..very rare to see such a big group of children doing excursion..heehee..

Dinner on 2nd: we slept very late trying to tie up the details of the floorplan & etc on 1st..then woke up at 9am on 2nd & packed all the stuff & managed to check into the hotel at 12.30pm..wanted to go for a swim to relax ourselves but the weather was not really very good..so we went shopping ard downstairs at raffles city..then MIL & hubby went for a swim aft shopping while I just lie down to enjoy the wind at the chair..luckily hubby & brothers attded the briefing at 5pm to co-ordinate w/ the technicians..also I started to get busy, was rushing ard here & there as a lot of pple coming up to our bridal suite (66th floor) & also the helper room (at 34th level)..my MUA was waiting for me aft make-up for my mum & MIL..this is where my real excitement starts..like really time passed very fast & getting more & more excited..i guess esp bcoz I m doing my solemnization at the 1st march-in so it is a little more nervous..i managed to go down to mingle w/ some of my guests early, the actual turn-up rate was quite ok, some tables have 8-9 pple..we did not count the ang-bao as we got a little tipsy, drank a lot of red wine on the night of the wedding..but aft calculating the ang-bao, we made a loss of $10k..also last min open a barrel of 20 litre beer & bought another 2 cartons of red wines..no choice as FIL said it's not very nice to tell the guests that the wine is finished & beer also no more..whatever it is, i think the most impt part is everyone enjoyed themseleves & also is very memorable for us..will share my photos w/ everyone soon...cheers~

 

[jeso]

Sleepysleep and Chobits, you've got mail!

Gingercat,
Thanks, yes it is the Zoo! That's so sweet of your HB. Do tell us more after your treatment..

Chaiyo,
Dun be disappointed, I'm sure something can be arranged. Have a talk with the hotel's coordinator.

 

[xxiao]

Hi Magical

But if you engaged a professional, they can capture more nicely coz they have better lightings and equipment...but of coz, so long you have at least your relative to videograph down for u, also good lah..coz once in a lifetime thing which we will look "extra" pretty..keke..

 

[kaye]

For example, inheritance has 100K, 1hse, 2 cars, shares...
How to divide nicely????
If U let A choose, he would rather take all...then B would be unhappy..
So if A divides like
Opt1: 50K, 1 car, shares
Opt2:50K, 1 hse,1 car
Then B can choose opt1 or 2....
No matter what B chooses, A could not complain cos its divided by A.

Thats y I say this ans no gd....but still ask lor...

Regarding abt PS, I also want to take in early Jan....but think I definely has more time than you ladies...cos I m late Apr bride...

 

[chomecc]

dorami..

... coz just decide to take ted wu.. so think my FH will have lots of holes in pocket if i take chor hui.. even though he loves her works.. but he say.. that if want to take chor hui... must take the one with collages which is like wahhhhh $2K plus wor..

Petrina.. yah 25th like HOT HOT HOT leh.. no worries lah.. maybe all the 25th in singapore brides only.. heheh

yah... took fabian.. sobx.. expensive.. so cannot afford an expensive PG le.. but say want john.. like slapping myself leh.. i saw your one.. nice also leh.. but wat his basic has huh?
