chinoiserie: yup yup, the ROM info is for kenshare. Me "OLD" bride liao =P Yes, earliest one can e-file for ROM is 3mths beforehand, thus the 1st July date which her JP suggested is fine, esp when the solemnisation is outside the registry =)
Yah, I think for pregnant ones really alot of pantang. One of my jiemei pulled out due to her pregnancy. Can they still attend the dinner ah? I have preggie friends who said ok to attend, some not ok.....I shall let them decide. Sometimes I wonder why such traditions exist. Both are XI shi....should be double happiness what *pout*
Yup, thanks! I shall check with the BS on hand bouquet. Btw, do all your hbs or FHs get to try on the different types of suits ah?
Kenshare / Jane: I was thinking of taking 1 week. Hee! I still have about 20 days of AL as at now. An Chuang is 26th while GDL is 20th, thus thinking might as well clear 1 week beforehand and also try to shift into new place by then and settle the dogs down.....
But dunno leh, true that I shd save for honeymoon too, was initially thinking of that cos we may have to postpone the HM destination to March-May next year due to the season and only go for a short one after AD. Then again, I am so tempted to quit this job as well...so dunno what I should do.....
Kenshare: My hotel reminded me to go pick cards since early May. We just went last week. Haha! Today I confirmed the artwork liao, should be collecting the cards in 10 working days' time. You better hurry check with hotel, rem we need to post before 7th month?
Agree with jane/chinoiserie: After the hoo-haa about my MUA, I shall fake ignorance to all others. ä¸çŸ¥è€…æ— ç½ªï¼I will get heart attack if need to find replacements for PG/VG/xiongdis/jiemeis at this juncture.
Ladies -- Do your in laws request to meet your parents beforehand? What should we do at this meeting? My MIL said they want to pay my folks a visit soon to discuss about what they want (but I already told them my parents said just 12 tables & token pin jin, no need other things leh, what else to discuss ah?) And should we say give them a treat or something? Any "traditions" to follow at this part??
Is the meeting to discuss what to exchange during Guo Da Li? CHAM LAH...my MIL will def have some funny requests and my super modern mum will probably dunno how to react. Haha!
So the sequence as follow is it ok?
- Parents' Meeting
- Guo Da Li
- An Chuang
- AD
For the Pin Jin hor, my mum said she will just tell them "token". She gave example say if they give 1K, she will take say 100 or 200 and return the rest. Is that the right way? And when should we return the money assuming they give us on GDL day? Immediately open angbao and return???
My parents said they cannot remember a single thing about their wedding preps. Mum said they were from those carefree AH-GO-GO era, haha! She said everything was discussed between the folks then and she and dad only concentrated on trying gowns and buying shoes. HOW LUCKY!!!
