Jean: I managed to contact Kelvin after much attempts. Will be mtg him this coming sat. Fri will be going to my BS to discuss on the layout of my photo album. Will be making use of this long holiday to finish as much things as possible. Now the only worry for me is the wedding cards.I can't find someone to help me with the artwork coz it required chinese wordings, & not many people have it lor... Oh, pinkbunny, u asking your company printer to print for u, right? Then how u gonna do the artwork?
Idyll: I'm glad that u finally finished your PS. Dun get too upset with the gown, maybe the whole thing will turn out even better then u expected.

Happy CNY gals. I agree with the rest of you that by March , we will have more things to share. Actually 14 Mar (Tue) is the date of my PS thus I can't make it that day. If the majority of you are able to make it that day, all of you go ahead. Then you must tell me what you have shared.
Hi Bride,
Got the list. Very comprehensive. Good Job! Have u decided on any of those in the list? I like journalistic shots.
Purpleblur, my budget only $800 for PG. I don't think I want VG. Very weird of me rite, but I feel for VG, I cant bring out and show pple on the spot, they still have to run it at home on PC or player.
I don't think i'll bother to plug on and watch all the time also. Anyone else like me? hahaha..
Talking about the proposal ring, I wearing everyday. I quite consoled Im not weird in this aspect. I finding a band to go with the solitaire to wear daily. Am I crazy? The thick bands usually not nice. Too many diamonds also not nice. Very vexed. Or should I just interchange between the engagement ring and the band?

hi Ei ting...
9th dec is a super hot date...my AD also on that day....if u wan a decent hotel u got to work fast
do you have any hotel that you like? give them all a call and ask them if the dates are available and make tentative bookings or put on waiting list first...
then arrange to go down wif ur FH to look at the hotel n discuss the package with them....your FH must play a part in this as he must also be confortable working with the coordinator....
at first my FH also say up to me...anything i like he also ok one but i made him play a part in the decision making coz we must thk of the budget, ambience, location, food....etc etc...

<font color="0077aa">hi all, happy lunar new year... hope all of you have had much fun.. i did... kekeke, coz this is the last year i can collect ang pows, i went all out.. kekeke.. and some closer relatives actually give extras.. so touched.. kekekek
jacquise, you can try to go find the matching wedding band at the same jeweller... i found a matching wedding band for my solitaire at the same jeweller and the band will also match to my bf's wedding band as well..
oh, then i not spending on VG as well...
ei ting, congrats.. eh, i think wat you should do now is to do the preliminary sourcing for the hotel/restaurant.. like wat bride steph said.. you can called up the hotels/restaurants for availability then shortlist a couple based on your preference (like budget, location, food, etc) and ask your bf to decide from there..
well, dun let him always say "up to you"... tell him that its his wedding too... it takes 2 to wed.. and so, you will like him to be part of the wedding too... afterall, its good memories... =)</font>

Hi,
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all and hope wedding preparations will go smoothly till our AD!Heh, last year to collect ang pow, so must work harder to cover more married relatives and friends.
Jacquise, same here I am thinking of not getting a VG too. Wanted to at first but their prices are all so steep. The cheaper ones are amateur VGs so rather spend more money to get a good PG. I think I would be flipping through the album more than viewing the DVD. Now, trying to convince FH to skip engaging a VG.
Ei Ting,
Like what Step mentioned, 9 Dec is a super HOT date. Having my AD on this date too! Maybe, you can start doing your homework on your shortlisted banquet venues first, call them to check if they are still avail on your selected date and then make a appt with them to view the place.

Pink Bunny: Yup, not 'chin ming'. I already double confirm liao. I checked with the chinese calendar & asked my auntie & some friends from china to check for me liao. Confirmed it's on the 5th Arpil.
My Venue is at Furama City Centre. What's about yours? U took your PS, etc already? How much preparation u done so far? Haha, now got someone to help me gauge how much i have done.
Hazel: CNY very boring leh. Yesterday go FH grandma's place, then everyone go my place and gamble. Was a nightmare yesterday. With all the kids running & jumping around, I'm so afraid that they will ruin my furniture.
Final damage: Pen ink on my sofa & a few scratches on my coffee table. *heart pain sia*

Hey Jacquise, no prob! Hope the list is useful for you. Yeah, I spent a lot of time compiling that list
In the end, I went with Hilarion Goh for AD PG. AD VG is The Wedding Paparazzi. As for the wedding band, I'm also looking for a band that will match my solitaire. I will be wearing them together. Don't want to waste money by letting the ring sit at home
Welcome Ei Ting! I'm also a 9th Dec bride
It's a really hot date so you gotta be fast in booking the venue. It's normal for our hubbies to say "up to you" in decision-making
I find that it makes things easier for me to organise also So long as you run through your options and choices with him and explain to him why you've made that decision, if he's ok with it then it's alright.</font>

Hi Jean,
I have booked my friends when I met them for Christmas. It's never to early to tell them 1st then confirm again when it's 1 or 2 months before so that they can meet together for hen's night to discuss how to 'tekan' the groom. Haha...
I know of a friend who uses email to 'book' her friends at short notice and the friends are not happy so they refused to be her jiemeis. I think meet your friends and tell them personally will be better.
Just my two cents' worth and hope it is useful.

Hey..I realise, I think I'm the only one getting married on 15th April on this thread.....so no one to gauge with as far as wedding prep is to do.
Ade, thanks girl. Meraj and I had fun at the shoot so we're not at all worried about how it looks. I'm not even too upset about the amount of gunk in my face and hair at the shoot - and that's saying a lot. I'm looking forward to the pictures.....
Wahh.....my heart aches for you leh...your new home.......(!)
Pink Bunny, I thought newly weds can still get ang pow in the first year of marriage?
Hazel, I spent the day at my brother's new place....a thanksgiving do for my brother's new place and the safe birth of my niece. Then slept much of the evening.
I am slowly printing my invites, worked some more on the programs and putting on paper the "vision" I had on the album for the shoot photos.
