(2008) Brides of year 2008

[uksportgal]

yes... Mrs. Chiew here hahahaha me only have MSN I PM you already.

^MeiLinG5^ : I am fine.. other than work hee hee... I haven't get my flat yet.. still building.. only ready next year ba... tampaines... which area u like?? lately still got new flats.. but mostly 4rm .. dun know if that's you want... else look for resale lor...

 

[uksportgal]

By the way for gown fitting or do your mean gown choosing?? kinda sound diff to me...

Then is gowns is for PS?? or AD??

Just sth to share ya... do try to neg. with your BS... if u taking PS with them... try to get gowns different from AD la... else lugi le.... should push them!! u never know what u can get if u dun ask.... Just say other ppl also like that forum say one hahahhahaha [sometimes it works ok]

My own opinion...
For PS
- Gown choosing & fitting: Just 1-2wks before shooting.... unless u got custom make gowns then diff ya...or u have a gown in the shop that u LOVE so much that u MUST want to wear it for PS... then got to reserve it.. [esp if u planning to take pic during peak wedding time like end year]

For AD
-Gown choosing: most ppl do it together when they choose for PS gowns... so u can choose like 5-6 gowns u like.. depends how many gowns u have for PS & AD... so u can pick which to wear for PS And which to wear for AD... no duplicate...

Then for AD fitting same lor.. 2-3wks before AD to make sure the measurement ok then fine already....

TAKE PIC!!! hahaha else 1 yr later when ur AD u already forget what u choose hahahhaa... Oct is end of year ya.. peak time ya... nice gowns are HOT!... so hahahaha u know what I mean right reserve

 

[uksportgal]

ok now is sth to share on gown choosing...

Do try ALL type of gowns... halter... low cut.. diff style ... to see which one suit u best.. take pic then after that can see the pic and choose... BS usually aloud la.. coz u already sign their package ma....

You never know how u look like unless u try it... [some sales no patient then ask u get one then fix that one.. dun bother about them.. YOU are the one going to wear the gowns.. try until u satisfied!] hee hee

oh beside type.. color also.. try la.. no need money ma hahahahha but dun bring too many sister/ friends there.. and make sure your hubby got some kind of entertainment if he going with u.. else very boring for them hahahaha

For those have custom make hor... it will be best if u have take some time to do some reserach before go... else u go there everything also "designer" say only.... dun like make say.... by the way do check with the designer how long they need to make the gowns.. so u know when to go talk to them when is the 1st fitting 2nd fitting etc... things that rush to produce is never good...

hee hee me v aunty hor hahahhaha long winded...
[I din sign any BS ya... but I already got my gowns brought from HK ;P... so got abit of experience on gowns choosing]

 

[tinkybell]

Hi girls.... so topic here seems to be hot... especially those who are discussing abt 18oct...

Welcome Lynn, welcome to the big family of OCt brides and the world of crazi girls... oppps....... kekekeke.... or i suppose, we all are kan jong brides...

uksportsgal... we share the same anniversary.... so qiao.... my big day will also be on 4Oct and next yr will mark the 7th yr i get together with my hubby... so thinking back... more than 6yrs ago on 4oct 2001, in different part of Singapore, two girls started a relationship with their bf and many years later, we actually get to know the existence of each other from this forum... wahh....

Koyoyo, to ans ur question...
(A) Why wanna get marry?
-cos i wanna live my life with him and grow old with him... most importantly, i wanna have a kid of his. and i wanna marry him cos i know he is someone i can rely on and make me his special one.

(B) the reason for getting marry in oct 2008? (3ans)
- 1st : becos its the very special day where i get together with him..(4oct2001) 2nd: becos this is the day we solemnize and become husband n wife (4oct2006) 3rd: another important day to mark in our calendar.

(C) Aft how long it is the right time to get marry?
- OVer the years, we get so comfortable with each other and wanna progress further from being jus bf/gf. naturally, we went on further to plan for our big day... And that is how my identity changes from Ms. Ng to Mrs&Mdm Ng.

Girls, talking abt fittings... so many of u have confirm your appointment le... i wori the BS say i ks so till now i still haven book... really kan jong le...

 

[tinkybell]

[~sblbee~]

[sooch]

wah, so happening this thread.
My banquet will be at Holiday Inn Park View, Bridal is Slt Broadway (tinkybell, are you from that thread too?) PG confirmed - FH's neighbour, but still sourcing for VG. ROM will be on same day as banquet - 19 Oct. The biggest headache is the house - sigh. But nvm that, will see how things go, quite excited about trying the gowns though

 

[sooch]

hey, i'm on facebook, can pm me those who have an account?

 

[~sblbee~]

hi lynn,
i've updated for u alrdy, will post it up when there's a few more updates cos im afraid to flood d thread wif my updating
my headache is my hse too...hope i can get an ideal unit soon but hor wait reno costs is another big headache
add me at face-book at Bee-Leng Seah

 

[mentos]

nervous bride: yeah, i agree with pricessxiaomei that most of the time, it's the co-ordinators who spoil market. Maybe just go a few more and sign only when u're comfortable with them. U have to see them till your wedding next year maybe 10-12times more.

 

[necrosis]

good morning girls!!

 

[berry_egg]

hi gals.. thanks thanks!!!!

hi s'rene, how much does it cost to tailor a suit at BKK? how long does it take?

 

[apple_gal]

Good morning, Ladies... One day pass again.

Selina, me also went my faical salon once a month. Hehe. Same as you but is in yishun, near to my house.

Hi, Gals
I seldom wear high heel shoes... Find kind of uncomfortable when wearing, furthermore I'm tall enough.
Just wonder for wedding, is it a must to wear the high heel shoe...

[CLS2008]

hi GND,

I think most of the curtain shops cater for Singaporeans and for some of them, it's their main customer base. Don't worry, just talk to them on how they go about doing it and you will know if they are experienced a not.

 

[ceo38]

Hi Morning Everybody!!! Good day ahead ya!

 

[apple_gal]

Hi, Lara

Yalor. Maybe wear a bit heel shoe enough. I'm 1.69m tall. My dear is 2-3 cm taller than me only.. So also cannot wear so high heel shoe.
But my friend told me is a must to wear high heel shoe for wedding gown so it will be nice. Is that true?

 

[koyoyo]

HI all,
Thanks for your concern.. Guess there are still things to work out.. let me calm down then i will update u guys.. still not ok to talk..

Btw, maybe u guys are mistaken.. I am only going for ROM fitting . In fact my BS asking to check out WG after Jan. That means i could be way later then most of u all here. So those who havent fixed a dates .. Now worries..

Sigh dun feel like talking .. wondering if i shd just blog it out.. at least the tension is not tt bad on the heart side...

 

[lara]

apple_gal, not true lar. 1.69 is very tall! i think after i wear my heels will only b 0.5cm taller than u.. my coordinator was telling me we will look taller after the hairdo n veil..

 

[mez]

wahahaah!~

nov 08 brides!~ in such good spirits!~

Good Day!!!!

 

[apple_gal]

Lara, thank you for your advise. At least, i'm not so worry about this high heel shoe... Hehe..

 

[nehoc]

Yoshimi,

[polarwhite80]

[lovebytemi]

Hi Ladies,
I wish I could join you girls for the breakfast. Looking at plans now... SAT is another PACK hectic day...

Sigh... will let u know if my plans changes. =)

 

[polarwhite80]

hi meiling,

cannot leh, i called him, he asked me dun be so kiasu... ask me call him next yr june....

 

[strawberryangels]

Hi Junjun,

I agree. being happy is most important. Actually no offence to all, i checked the online tongshu..and my AD date is not very good for marriage. But since the shifu tell me its good for us, then we just stick to it.

 

[princess_sue]

hi koyoyo,

dun think too much for the time being.. just do what you like to do.. and relax yourself first. when you are feeling better then you can blog it down or pen it in email.. re-read your thoughts and you will feel better after that.

So for now.. cheer up and smile ok..

*hugz hugz*

Hi mei...

ya... take some sneaky pics for all of us hehehehe
Who is your JP ah? Hey btw, how much to book JP ah...

hey polar,

now cannot book JP ah.. my FH mum still asking me last sunday if i book already anot .. hahaha... i thought we supposed to book earlier.. hahaha.. scared that the ho dates are all taken up.

 

[koyoyo]

hi all,
I thought JP is voluntary kind hearted people. So i guess whether or not to accept early is based on that guy or lady himself
Got pros n cons for not accepting earlier.. esp those on 18 oct super hot dates... i can understand ur feeling.. maybe u all can try call another JP to see whether really wait till june. 18th is hot date so i guess no choice but to be KS a bit...

Sue thanks for the advise now i am really involved in "work" not thinking anythg
plenty of stuff to keep me occupied at work..

 

[~sblbee~]

polarwhite,
wah...in tis case, im q lucky cos he alrdy booked a date for me, even gave me his ref no., asked me to e-file wif dat no. n to see him to discuss abt d solemnisation...

sue,
ok, i'll try but i duno if im sneaky enuff to pull d act off...
oh, my JP's bro emmanuel i didnt know have to pay him, mayb i'll juz give him a AP for being so nice

 

[de_princess]

[ling27]

Alamak... apple_gal... you are so tall already.. no need heels... I dun think it is a must to wear high heels.. as long as the shoes you wear make you look nice in your gowns..

But wearing high heels can make one look slimmer & taller!! I definitely need it..

 

[yoshimi]

nehoc> lol.. yeah.. but I havent found a venue yet.. which is a stressful thing

 

[stnov]

muddpie...im still all for it....will go ahead if all are okay....=)

can we make any reservation??

 

[xinyi_reiko]

ya, apple_gal no need high heels..

for me i need high heels to match my hubby's height. heh~
