Morning all Nov 07 BTBs...
The thread really moving quite fast...hehe...
After reading thru the thread, i felt that i am quite lucky in the sense that we get to make decisions on most of our wedding stuff and superstitious parents or in-laws are not a factor in our decision-making... For my case (rather similar to Gelaine...), i was rather KS and started sourcing for my hotel venue immediately after my ROM in april.. so it was about 1.5 yrs away from AD, so lotsa hotels are still available... We got the dates from a geomancer and booked the hotel and after it was confirmed then we informed our parents the dates and all.... Another good thing is mine and HB's siblings are all married...
I agree with Belle that whether the marriage will be successful anot does not depends entirely on the dates we choosen for AD.. If it is really this case, there wouldnt be any divorced couple in this world liao...
I hope all BTBs have a happy and memorable time planning for the wedding as afterall wedding is a beautiful event... Do not get too affected or frustrated by what others say as afterall it is OUR own wedding and not theirs....
Gelaine : Me also v slacked these days.. but cos i confirm most of the vendors liao... The other stuff i will only start worrying about them next year nearer to Nov..
Ollie : Good for u that u can get a better rate.. Hehe... For me, my VG was the one that recommend Edmund Leong though we have shortlisted him too... We got some freebies from him instead of cash discount.. But its good enough for me and HB as his price is still less than what we budgeted for in AD PG....
morghanjess : actually My bridal Room is only the 2nd BS that i visited.. Was just intending to look look see see when i was there.. But they won us over in the end as I quite like the designer and her works.. And the package they offered seems reasonable to me and even my HB fell comfy with them and so we "Gungho-ly" signed up on the spot... Hopefully we make a right choice and they will not disappoint us....
