Hi tete,

Hi Kel..
oh dear...i was telling my FH how lucky you are and indirectly telling him i'm doing all the planning..haha..
it's hard i can understand. He gave a budget too and i'll just have to solve everything with it. Good thing is the budget is for wedding rings, gowns and photography and I'm settling it in Aus except the ring which i think it's a good steal to wait for Great Singapore Sale.
As for my banquet and wedding, there's no one in charge yet cos it's gonna be in SIN. There's nothing much we can do here except looking at the threads on pple's comments on hotels. However my future inlaws are quite picky abt hotels so i dun think i'll have much involvement in it.
well if you need someone to share your problems buzz me anytime.. most impt thing is you have to be the prettiest and happiest person on the big day. i reckon you just put all your effort on yourself and leave the admin stuff aside. good luck for your planning.

Hi joenbby
At least yours is settled. I have nothing yet and I just simply refused to confirm anything until I see the BIG rock. Can you believe it? He has yet to propose!!! He promised me a "melt butter melt ice" proposal but I have yet to see it. All he did now was to tell his mum and his friends that we'll be getting married at the end of the year and just reminding me EVERY single day that we'll be getting married in Dec! Frustrating!!!!
Yes, all agreed. We will definitely be the prettiest and happiest person on the big day. Actually, we will be the 2nd happiest cos our husbands will be the first!!! Lucky for them to find wives like us.. Hahahahahahaha...

purple - welcome..let us know the outcome
Hi Girls!!
i'm also a late 08 bride! =)
was initially going for June 08, but then have to change to Sept 08 cos my mom said that the person whom she went to to get the dates said June wasn't a good month for us.
It's going to be really hectic cos I'm currently in UK and going to plan a wedding ceremony here and a banquet in Sg... luckily don't have too many tables! =)
I'm still lost as to whether to get my wedding dress here or in sg....

very true
Kel...lucky for them to get wives like us...
u should put ur foot down on the proposal before you do anything to show his sincerity. How can he not propose and inform everyone abt the wedding. nah...better push him kel...it's ur only chance now to get wat u want. once in a lifetime..no more surprises after tat...maybe he's coming up with something spectacular.
confirming other things are easy...confirming your marriage is the top priority, tell this to ur FH...
good luck!

Hi girls,
After looking at all of you, I feel so lost as all of you are so well-prepared. I duno where to start. I'm actually planning my ROM early 08 and my AD in late 08. Havent got d chance to check any date as my major concern is not to crash with d sch holis as my guests will not b available. Have not found my ideal flat, havent go to search for BS and banquet venues. Will try to do everything in Jun cos FH and me will have more time to do planning. Care to share some pointers, badly need some advice as I feel so overwhelmed. Can email me at [email protected]

Hi Gals,
I'm also a late 08 bride.
Planning to have my AD in either Oct to Nov.
But all still pending cos have to wait for the geomancer's green light to pick a date.
cos he said its too early to pick a date for late 08.
So i can't book the venue yet.
Hi Meilin,
don't feel lost. we are here to help one another.
i may not be a good adviser myself, but i think the most impt thing u need to settle is ur ROM date. once it's confirmed, by june u can start to source for ur BS for both ur ROM dress and WG.
And u can start looking out for your venue.
as for photoshoots u can arrange to have it jun of 08 if ur AD falls end of 08.
and thereafter ur ROM u can slowly source for your photographer & videographer.
Hope the abv info is of use to you.

Hi missy54,
if u were to rent a gown frm SG, u have to fly in here to try on and alteration and u need someone to bring it over to you.
Also what if you have someone who cna bring the gown over to you, but left out something like accessories or veil, you can't fly back to pick it up and fly to UK again.
Wouldn't be a hassle free if u get a gown in UK itself? I think plus airticket and time and possibilites of hiccups, it's cheaper to get it in UK.
That's my opinion la....

Hi <font color="ff6000">picogy,skywu, ~sblbee~ , missy54</font>
Yeah , we have more ppl in this thread
~sblbee~
Fret not. 1 thing @ a time.
House - Need to depend if u want to get a HDB (resale / WIS or new flat) or a private property ?
Resale & WIS- Need to start to look for it actively if not dun think will be intime.
Remember to factor in time for search of ID and Renovation
ROM: Need to 1st decide on a date.
<font color="0000ff">Outdoor</font> - need to book location, register and book online 3mths (earliest) before and start looking for dress and JP. Hot JPs need to be booked 6mths in advance.
<font color="0000ff">Indoor</font>: Need to decide on date/dress and book online 3mths (earliest) for the date that u want
Wedding - Set ur date and Need to book Banquet at least 1 yr in advance if it's hot date. Rest can slowly do le since it's end 2008
<font color="119911">Sky,
Why not consult a geomancer instead
If Geomancer says it's good date that dun have to worry abt wat anyone says
1st Q 2008. Hmm.. is ur hse @ Buangkok?</font>

Hi all BTBs,
Thanks for all the advice! I gathered that I must choose a date for my ROM first, actually FH wana do that on V-day next yr but I was thinking it's so conventional. Will work out something
As for my AD, will confirm that during the June holidays with my FH. He's keen to seek some kind of consultation but I'm ok with any dates that's convenient. Was planning for my AD in Sep or Oct 2008 wkend.
Furthermore, I've missed the WIS for Feb, looking at the units available at AMK, don't think I'll stand a chance cos I heard the queue number was 1300+ during lunch-time yesterday. No hope liao. Juz have to wait for the new flats to be launched in AMK and cross my fingers that I'll get a flat.
As for the JP, I hope that my choice is still a JP as he was the JP for my colleague 2 yrs back, was thinking to look for him as I know him personally. Will be actively searching for my BS and wedding banquet venue in June. Hopefully still in time.

to kel - isn't it exciting!!! good luck
Hi henyve,
Oh you are looking at Jurong area? I'm staying there now, but my new house is at Bangkok as it is closer to my FH's parents. I got it during Nov WIS. I was quite lucky then, checked my email for HDB alert when I got up in the morning before getting ready for work. Saw the WIS news and rush down to HDB immediately.

Hi Cheryl,
Welcome to the group! Anyone went to check if 6th Jan is an auspicious day? I'm not very happy with my mum when she does not agree as she is not sure if it's a good day and yet she does nothing to check it out. Have been filtering out her "nonsense" ever since i told her im getting married.
Anyone went to check on the dates for An Chuan? Is it a custom for the guy to pay for the bed? My mum said that it must be a guy to pay for it, ger cannot pay for it,will be laff by people.
Think i will stick to GHA or Di Gio , both fall under the same management.Have cnfm GCW.

Hi to all Jan2008 Brides =P
Keep guessing all initials what it means =P, not a really thread follower, i'm sorry! will work hard to follow advice and suggestions!
AD? 1st Jan 2008
WD? Wedding Dinner - 1st Jan 2008
ROM - 1st Jan 2008 too =P
Good date or not, well, got someone close who is keen on geomancing, said the date is neither good nor bad. Since it means something to us, so we decided to go ahead with this date.
FH (Future Husband?) and I had made a deposit for Ballroom B at Expo (BlissGarden) for 1st Jan.
For our ROM. We are thinking of having it at Fullerton Hotel or having it in our Secondary School. Still undergoing discussion.
Now looking through forums for recommended JP and wedding favour. Oh, WIS too. Going to select a flat on the 15th. Hope that we can have our love nest.
Regards!

hi Allan&Yvonne...
wow 1st Jan, holiday and its a new yr...
We took JB BS, there r pros and cons.
pros - Cheap la, more item... (as compare to sing BS)
Cons - Travelling time, no make up artist...
(we engage one at the city square, nearer compare to inside JB.
but of course the more further in the more cheaper)
