(2008) Brides of year 2008

[us_mei]

lovethesea: I see. That's good. I think I will just go to the local supermarket and purchase 1 thick white candle and 2 thin ones then buy my own deco. I'm in US lah. Will check out if it's worth <SGD$58. Haha! If the ones on the yahoo auction can customise to sth special, other than adding a riboon/flower piece, then I think it's quite ok.

S'rene: eh, even if company don't provide car, it'll be great if you can get one yourself. A 2ndhand car doesn't cost too much lah, just have to think about insurance and petrol. Haha! But it's definitely easier to move around..


So girls, any further progress made for wedding preps? My SO making us a website.. heh. Anyway, a little far-stretched, anyone making their own invitation cards/favours? Care to share ideas?

 

[~sblbee~]

hi flora bliss,

[nelle]

Hi Flora, I was thinking seriously of before dinner cocktail.

Right now many things are still hazy to me. So many possibilites, so little money.
And get this, girls, partner yet to propose! haha...
We talk about the wedding plans/house and all that everytime and the silly man automatically thought I will marry him before popping the question...;p

 

[snowypooh]

hey Flora_Bliss, we're using the same PG for our AD leh. Hehe... so coincident.

 

[hapimint]

wow...nebear, well done... hehe....

 

[pooh83]

Mrs Yap,

I have booked my AD PG and VG already. It's from Visioworkz.. Have you found your AD PG and VG? I heard that irene not bad also.. hee.. Btw can i ask where is your ROM venue? The place seems familiar to me.. =)

 

[hapimint]

meiling, we are not too concerned about the number of prints because my SO is in IT line so he prefers to share the pictures by bringing a CD or type a link....
my SO likes his portfolio and therefore we decide to take them... he is quite fussy... we found a few cheaper ones but he is not interested because he say their works not professional....haha... fussy men...

Standard Package
(Price: $188)
4 hours of photography coverage at solemnization venue
inclusive of: -
01 x photographer
01 x CD of ALL the highest resolution images
80 x 4R Prints
01 x Classic (black, gold or silver) Album
6 months free web hosting for your wedding photos

www.snapxot.com I think it is best for you to view their portfolio before making decision. Because what my SO likes may not be up to your taste...

Oh Meiling, when is your ROM day? hehe... earlier than mine?

[hapimint]

I also trying to lose weight but my SO says that if I go any slimmer, he will be angry and ditch me.... evil leh

 

[~sblbee~]

hi tiffy,
i'm the direct opposite from you...im the meaty type...always no problem getting prosperous easily...i always wanted to wear a tube-top WG so have to ensure my arms are not too fat and flabby to carry the WG.

hi mindy,
both me n my fh are trying to lose weight, he got more weight to lose than me, so he very stressed up...

 

[jadeyu]

woah! nebear.. great work here.. now u can really see the power of dec 7. hahhaha..

 

[lost_in_space]

aiya.. I can't dun care lehz.. me prefectionist.. see every details.. have u all select ur gown liao mah??? issit a bit too early to MTM my gown in Oct07 when wedding is 1 year later ah?? Feel like postpone the gown appointment to next jan.. any suggestions/advices??

 

[flora_bliss]

nelle and meiling, i actually agreed to marry before the proposal. But I got my proposal last fri at Altivo. You gals can read the details on my multiply.

snowpooh, the only thing I worry abt Bob is his ability to liven up the mood for nicer shoot. During our meetup, he dun come across as a "funny guy". Wat do you think?

Gals, I wanna lose wait oso. But simply no motivation. Have been having tea breaks and supper of roti prata, roast duck, pork knuckles etc....

 

[flora_bliss]

Wah!!! The 07s are really powerful! I'm feeling so lonely. The 28s quick come join me leh. hahaha!!!!

[snowypooh]

Gals, we'd also started planning for marriage before my hubby officially propose to me. And I bet we're the fattest couple here so don't worry too much about your weight. So long as you all are happy &amp; healthy, that's most important.

Flora_Bliss, had Bob taken any photos for u before? We'd engaged him to take a casual outdoor photoshoot for us before our ROM. We'd used the photos as a slideshow during our ROM ceremony &amp; everybody loved it.

For the photoshoot, in the beginning we tot Bob is very stern but as the shoot goes on, we found that he's actually quite soft-spoken &amp; funny. Both of us get along very well with Bob. Originally ours was supposed to be only a half day shoot but end up having a full day shoot. Haha... very tiring though but worth the effort.

 

[de_princess]

Hi serlz,

No I dun have those photos. I think u can request from some of the brides and btb fr the SL thread. But i guess it depends also on what kind of CS u want.

 

[yelody]

wow, so many jan 08 brides here.

My AD is 27th jan. Anyone here same AD as me? hehe

i've finish my photoshoot and selected my photos but have yet to view my album design layout.

 

[mage]

Yup there's plenty of 27th Jan 08 bride here.

 

[yelody]

Hi mage!!

[mage]

Mine is 19 Jan

 

[yelody]

[lost_in_space]

hehe... need to save money for flat mah.. no choice.. hope to get a good queue no for this Aug07 mature estate.. I haven't done my ang bao yet.. cos my friend told me to do it later cos the paper might fade its colours.. dun want to take the risk then later have to redo..

Tiffy.. i also trying very hard to slim down.. but bounded with a desk job.. very tough.. everytime after lunch.. come back and sit and work.. -.-

 

[blur_queenie]

Helo,

Seems like everyone is busy, thread has turn so quiet. Just finalised my AD PG, am taking Daylight Pictures.

Does anyone here buy their own accessories or being provided by their BS?

 

[nelle]

I am on the thin side so not cannot afford to lose weight. But really really need to tone up to avoid having flabby arms and the 'fats' squashed at the armpit ares. Oh please do not get me wrong and think I am rubbing in.
I really want much much much bigger boobs though!!!
