My BS is providing a Merc E210 for my AD. I don't really mind cos i'll feel a bit "paiseh" borrowing a luxury car from relatives. Besides, will have the trouble of deciding who to drive the bridal car if it's borrowed. At least with the BS bridal car, they'll provide the fuel & driver.
Hi Jess...welcome!
Hi Jess...welcome!
Hallo ladies,
Jes, dun need to be sad... I think its a phrase of life.
Talking about flower gal / boy, i almost forget one thing.. Please find those who re not shy... That time i wanted to ask my "little son" to be my page boy... My Mum says better not coz my ILs have grandchildren... Must give priority to them.
My IL's grandchildren... either shy or dao... Rather not hv flower gal/boy... especially when they re not close to you and dun listen to you.. Not like my little son!

jes, it's like that lah... don't be too upset.
kaye, I agree with you.. I am not having any flowers girls & page boy too, I find it troublesome. Unless it's my own favourite niece or nephew, then it's a different story.
jhoo.. Congrats!!! At least all your hard work has paid off! Can enjoy your HM even more now.. can shop more.. keke.

jhoo, congrats! Looking forward to a treat from you! Hehehe! *Evil laughs*
My "little son" is going to be 7 next yr. He s a boy that my Mum used to babysit. Both of us are close coz a few yrs back when i was unemployed for a few mths, I helped my Mum to look after him.
If not, when my Mum wants to go for her mahjong session on Sat. I will be the standby nanny! I always bring him out so ppl will automatically assume that he's my son lor....
Anyway, Hendrik is quite cute.. he will call me é“扇公主 and when i m down.. he will ask me, "Who bully you!" The best part is he dun like my husband coz he feels that my husband bully me.

wah kaye, u never help ur hubby 'xi zhui'? Ha!!
Jes~, in my humble opinion, I tink we shd treat the JMs for willing to help out on our AD. If expect something from them, we might be disappointed. But if they r ur very close frenz, I m sure they will have some kind of programs line-up. If got its a bonus, if not they r doing us a favour. Then we won't feel upset by it

jes, could it be ur jiemei inexperience, that's why they dont know... wow spa, must be expensive...im treating all my helpers to my new home for lunch end of dec, treat them, brief to them, and also let them view my albums, wedding slideshow etc since they will miss out all these on the AD

ya the weather is good yesterday... must show us your photo ya... cant wait for my PS
Esther: Like that ah, u might be waiting till dunno when. Coz I dun think all the shops are opened yet...so the "fad" might only die down after that.....I think VC got this other new place called "Boost" It's this juice place from Aust, not bad...dunno if they still got the Boost card here though.
jes.. you are really generous!
For me, I am sponsoring my JM's dresses so it's part of my thank-you gift already. After the wedding is over, we'll probably meet up with all the bros & sisters for a meal. I have never thought much of hen night, never expected my JMs to organise for me as I know everyone is busy. My JMs have been very involved, always calling & smsing me if I need help, just say so. But so far, nothing lah.. coz I got a 'wedding planner' (you all know who lah) mah.
Like smilez.. if they do plan something for me.. well, then it'll be a nice surprise & bonus for me.

Yes guess my jiemei are inexperience cos they're still single.. Supposed I shouldn't expect too much from them. But no one to share the joy of planning for wedding except to speak to FH & you gals mah =)
Anyway, for those who's brainstorming for ideas to treat your jiemei, I can share the Andana spa treat package I got.. thought it's very nice if I'm the recipient =)
Mei, thought it's a very nice idea to sponser JM's dresses. At least they got something tangible in return for helping.

oh ladies, remember me mentioning tat one of my FH's fren hv the same wedding day as us.... today one of 2 sisters told me tat as we had informed them 1st so they will attend tat fren's solemnization thn cum for our banquet and offered their help too..hehe... see its good to inform ppl early....
Actually, come to think of it... I dunno what to ask my JM to do... coz my family will settle the stuff for me.
Except that i know my jiemei will help out if i open my mouth... but so far, i dunno what they re supposed to do except to tekan my husband! HEHE! *EVIL LAUGHS*

jazol, i hv somehow similar situation like you...
My younger cousin supposed to get married in Jun 07 but that idiot choose to get married in Dec 06. One month earlier than me, ended up most of our relatives complaining coz most of my relatives are in Msia and HK mah....
Like Jazol, my wedding date was announced way b4 him... So some of my relatives choose to attend mine instead of his.
Anyway, this cousin of mine... WE all feel that he s pushing himself into debts coz he has no fin'l stability and yet choose to get married!

kaye, your JMs' job is to tekan your hubby & extort money from him.. then follow you around & serve you coz the gown is so big & cumbersome.. so movements more difficult mah... then blot your face & help you... hehe. They are also responsible for things like bring your EG, shoes, etc.. to hotel lah, make sure your angbaos are safe.. things like that. Then banquet, just be recept lor.
I been JM many times.. being JM very fun one lah.. nothing tedious to do. It's actually the brothers who cheong around like mad during the banquet to make sure everything ok.

oh ya... i tink most couples r spending alot for their wedding whn they r aware of their own financial status... like one of my cousin who got married in Oct had spent alot.... and got herself into alot of credit cards debts... thk God tat her mum returned her all the ang baos for the dinner so tat they wont lose out... though said tat her husband gave her the tables...
Hey gals,
I have just went for the 1st try at the BS last saturday. Um.... was a great experience with 3 hours just trying out gowns at the bridal shops. In the end, managed to choose 2 bridal, 3 evening and a 'kua' which are all for PS in 1st Jan only...
As for the AD, I will need to go down again and choose another set of gowns ....
Managed to add some more photos in exchange for the items I dont want.....
But one thing, I need to check with you all... whether there is surcharge for make-up on AD before 7a.m.?? Cos since my FH will pick me up at 7.30am hor, the MUA will need to reach my place at 5a.m. .... so early ....... whew.... So each hour before 7a.m., the MUA will charge me $20 per hour.. .which in the end will need to pay $40 just for early makeup.
Feeling heartpain leh.

Thanks Mei!
Actually, my sis will be the one following me in & out. Most likely during the banquet, I will be getting my MUA to stay throughout so that she can help me in changing my clothes etcc...
So, being jiemei is not so siong coz they just help me here and there... Heheh...
Yup, alot of couples overspent and ended up in debts for their wedding. My husband told me that he dun want us to argue and quarrel over $$$.

ya lor drea, see like the thread very queit hor
jazol.. oh dear.. that is really strange of that girl to behave in this way. I do agree it's hard to ask them to do things for you when you are not that familiar with them. & I don't see any sense in the remark of having someone to poke fun at.. what kind of friends are these?
For me, I just call my friends & delegate stuff to them.. like evil like that.. haha. But mostly for my JMs.. during the wedding preps, their job mostly is Aunt Agony to me.. for me to complain about MIL to them.. I think that is a taxing job already.

thanks jesdreamz and gelaine, after motivation from both (and the rest in this thread), i will be viewing My Bridal Room and Silverlining over these few days. i shall post up my reviews on them soon.
HL - Nice to know you and sorry to hear abt the clash in dates with bro in-law.. In my case, my FH is also something like him, copying his elder bro and family members in certain manner, and that irritates me as well - like why cant he be more mindfully independent?? Momo is right, it is for the purpose that we decided to marry the one we love, not the family! And a happy bride always shines! So try to keep a positive perspective!
