[pearlpearl]

Hi Meiling,
i have forward a few more for you and Mal. Erm, for me i will set a budget how much i want to spend for the ROM, from there i will go down to view the venue that is within my budget. The Ang bao i collected is more than my ROM package. haha.. im so surprised and touch.. But not enough to cover for my mini honeymoon.

 

[simplyserene]

Hurray for you us_mei! I agree that you shd check out the venues first. Since your trip's gonna be short, make appts with the events coordinators first.

Down with gastric flu since tue. Now still suffering from stomach upset. Sigh...

For videography, I'm lookin at the basic ones with express highlight to be played during banquet. I'll definitely drop you a mail.

Thanks!!!

 

[~sblbee~]

Flora_Bliss,
Will be waiitng for ur mail, I should have 3 contacts to send u...

 

[polarwhite80]

wah, this post getting hot so fast.... hahaha.... was busy last wk, no time to update.... went marriott &amp; conrad last wk... most or less finalise on marriott... now waiting for the banquet sales to work out on my package... quite like their service....

 

[~sblbee~]

hi polarwhite,
glad to see you on this thread at last, wah... you have done your homework wor, do let me know of the finalised outcome so that i can add to our compiled list...

 

[polarwhite80]

hi addy,

is better for u to seek geomancer's advice... as they will choose a date that avoid the zodiac sign of urs, ur hubby, parents, parents in-laws and even ur bro (if u have 1).... for my case, she did ask me abt my bro's zodiac sign as my bro need to open the bride car... hahhaa... i even have timing to reach my hubby's house.... for my date, zodiac sign of chicken cant be in my sis grp...

 

[ariele42]

Hi netfinity

We are using Venus..when is your AD and which ballrm are u using?

 

[blur_queenie]

Muddpie,

How's the design coming about? My ex colleague got hers from BV too two years back. Clean cut design and heavy too. Only had two hours of outdoor photoshoot cos too hot in her duchess satin gown.

Hmm, i would prefer weekday evening too but i'm fine with Weekend afternoon. Let see what the majority says.

Just had PS yesterday. Thank God the weather was good. One word to describe my make up and hairdo : "Dramatic!" but no regrets. My photographer show us some unedited shots on her camera and it's nice! Cant wait to see the rest.

 

[vividz]

hi, I just signed up at Novotel for 20th July package. The dates r really fully booked, so I got no choice but to take 20th July. I just told my mum abt the date, she scolded me said no one gets married during chinese 6th mth one. Anyone heard abt this b4?

I felt so hurt when I told her tat date happily, in the end everything got spoil by the remark she said. Sigh...

 

[~sblbee~]

wah polarwhite,
urs so detailed, i juz got my date during my 1st visit, d rest have to wait till 3 mths b4 my wedding den go n consult him again...

 

[crayongal]

hmmm....vividz , im a novotel btb toO! welcome... u can join us at the NCQ thread too..

erms, as for the dates.. ya.. i booked them abt 2mths ago... so, could get the date i wanted.. did hear that alot of dates for 08 are booked. i guess ncq is getting quite popular.. only thg is .. i didn't manage to wait for wedding fair perks. heh.. din noe they were gonna have one. i guess u signed up at the fair today? =)

newae, i did hear abt the chinese 6th mth thing.. but my FH and me.. we chose our own dates - not pan-dan lah.. so , we didn't tink abt it. but ya... there is such a thing.. his mum did mention to us but since we dun believe den also nm lor. hehe

 

[crayongal]

btw, all of us here in the july 08 brides thread would be 'chinese 6th mth' brides mah. hehe
tell yr mum many gals getting married .. hehe.. dun worry!

n dun be so sians or sad.. i guess she jus wants the best for u...
according to the superstition (sorry..for those who believe..) i tink it means half-yr bride coz 6th mth..so evthg is half-half..not complete..smthg lydat.....

so, she jus worried abt dat i guess... =)
still its becoz she has yr interest at heart.. dun sianx.. =)

I told my mum abt my date, she didn't say anything abt lunar 6th month.. she told me cannot be in lunar 9th month, for my sign... I guess all these depends.. I got the list of dates from a Shifu so it may differ for each one

 

[vysweetapple]

Hi applemuffin,

We have already booked the bridal package. Nw left with the dinner banquet only. We only decided on the date recently as bf wanted to see tong shu first. Maybe will settle for grassroot club as near to the mrt. Where did u book for the dinner banquet?

 

[crayongal]

[vividz]

Thanks everyone.

I just heard the saying of half-yr bride from my friend too. Maybe cos of that, there are still a few dates left. my mum just scolded me w/o letting me know y tat mth can't, tat's y i'm sad and angry with her. I ald paid the deposit, if need to change date, got to pay some amount. Sigh... Hopefully won't have to change. This date I choose after I checked online, it's a gd day for marriage and nvr crush with my hubby and I and both our parents.

Stef, thanks for updating the list. My BS haven't find yet, my hubby said still early. oh ya, I went for the fair tat day and signed up with them to get a complimentary 1 table free if I came up with 30 tables and also 1 extra nite stay at their bridal room.

 

[malchan]

hi polarwhite

Received ya mail. Thanks!

Hi Meiling, my geomancer also did not provide me with the time &amp; I was advised to call her again 2-3 mths prior to my AD to get the auspicious time.
I went to Amara on Sat but we're not impressed with the overall ambience. I was bitten by mosquitoes at the pavilion though it was less than 5 mins there. There is only 1 access door to the swimming pool (which is the buffet area for guests) hence the hotel guests will be using the door to the swimming pool.
We're looking at other venue now.. Will update you

 

[~sblbee~]

Hi Mal,
Actually had put Amara as my 5th or 6th choice now, I'm now considering between Hotel Rendezvous and Royal Park @ Scotts, awaiting for more details from the hotels...do let me know if you got better lobangs

 

[applemuffin]

Hi June,

I have booked with hotel Rendezvous. ( :

 

[amias]

Hi guys.. i'm new here..

Thanks so much..

 

[polarwhite80]
