Verena,
The earliest date you may solemnise your marriage is 3 months before your ROM.

Holding our church wedding at Lighthouse Evangelism.
Getting everything separately will cost more.
It'll have to be that way since we only want that particular PG. So no choice, must have 'xin li jun bei' already to pay more lor.

Hi Ah Blur,
I beg to differ. To me, I think VG is impt too as its able to capture moments LIVE that PG cant.
Its just watching the entire wedding all over again!
If you think that it will be chuck aside after wedding, the same will also works for PG isnt it? =)
Do let me know if you need help for any PG or VG referrals. =)

Hello <font color="0000ff">verena</font>, we are still thinking whether to have a church wedding followed by reception or move the solemnization ceremony to a hotel venue, easier to cater for reception purpose.
Hello <font color="0000ff">glamourous</font>, wow... 1.5 carat! You must be heading to be a rich tai tai I was at Larry on Sat, looking for the eternity ring. Saw this huge 2 carat diamond that cost 111k.
Anyway, I didn't really like the eternity ring from Larry but I saw one that I quite like from Lee Hwa's Destinee range. Was quoted 2.5k for 18 diamonds (total 0.36carat) in a channel setting.

stella-> serious ur MIL said that?? erm..stella dun get mi wrong; im juz thinking cos the msg got passed down and mayb that is not wat ur MIL meant? Or mayb ur MIL didn't utter that but perhaps your bf felt that for personal reasons he could only offer that 2 tables etc etc and so used your MIL to state that?.. Did you hear her say that?
Don't get me wrong and think that I am siding with the guys..but this kind of situation is exactly what gives most of us BTBs here the stress..more so than perhaps the actual wedding planning. The parents vs in laws kind of situation.. Cool it first; cant ask u not to get upset cos if I were you, lim peh wont take it lying down like that but I've since learnt to toe the line and be more "moderate"..as opposed to more "hardline"..
1st things 1st, regarding tables/ wedding for your mum, have both parents met up alrdy? They are supposed to, to discuss like for male side to ask the bride's side what they need or require for the wedding.. So if haven, like what your bf said, it aint final yet cos your mum or dad would request for what they need too..without you asking.
As for nos. of tables, stella, no fixed number ones leh.. it realli depends. eg, bride side ask for 16 tables and pin jing, they will tell the groom's side that up to them to decide to give how much and usually bride side on the actual gift ceremony day, will "return" aka Hui2 Li3 a portion of the pin jing.
Then another eg. is bride's side takes 6 tables and pin jing, the also say up to groom side to decide, then pin jing wise, of cos, bride's side has the perogrative to sorta "take more" n return lesser..
Hope I'm not confusing you.. but example of how this kinda thing goes la.
To be honest, these day, most modern parents seldom specify exactly how much pin jing they want.. unlike our parents and granny days where the pin jing was essential for the bride's family to pay for some wedding prep. In any case, the pin jing is in today's terms, a token of appreciation to the girl's parents for bringing her up and some says the amt reflects the girl's value too.
Honestly, it realli depends on how well off the groom is. In our era abt 6, 7, 10 years back, wedding expenses for majority ppl was still fully borne by male side.. these days, more couples sharing the burden cos more women working liao. You need to take it in your stride 1st, keep it cool..
The most impt factor is, who is paying the bill for the wedding? If not all the expenses, then majority payor is who? Parents-in-laws? Bf? or equal share between u and bf?
That alone will determine who decides abt the banquet and all u see? If parents-in-laws, then they have every right to object to whichever place you guys want and decide on somewhere cheaper..cos its their money. Of cos, I don't think there's a right to decide and utter so fast that thr's only gonna be 2 tables provided for bride. There may be a reason for it? Perhaps they hv intentions to only provide 2 tables for bride side and pin jing will be more generous? I dont know what kind ofpossibilities are thr..but you know what I mean right?
if expenses fully paid by bf, then I don't think you need to worry abt it.. angry yes, upset, yes but don't let this affect ur relationship with ur bf or with ur in-laws.. If they realli did say that without understandable reason, at least you know what they reali are like so so, in future will take extra care in interacting with them. If fully paid by bf, then o need worry. cos Im sure if you communicate with ur bf and he loves u and understands u, then I'm sure things can be worked out.
If expenses shared equally between u and him, then up to you guys to work it out. motto here is to reach a point where both parties are just nice just happy lor..
Realli hope this will help you.

Hi vy25,
it depend on u when u wanna plan to buy. it need time to find the wedding band that both of u like. it took me 3 or 4 months before i confirm purchasing. i just bought it in may 2008 although my wedding is in march 2009.
i do worry that it might not fit. the sale executive told us we can change the size but need to pay a little bit more.

Hi <font color="0000ff">mashi</font>, thanks for the email. I emailed to Raffles but so far, they haven't got back to me.
Oh <font color="0000ff">glamourous</font>, thanks for offering the hotel list to me. If u dun mind, can forward me? [email protected]
Hey <font color="0000ff">aggiegal</font>, yup, agreed that Larry staff was friendly. The sales guy remembered my bf enquiring on eternity ring and when he saw me kept looking at the 2 carat diamond, he offered to take it out and let me try on. But no lah, too shy. In my mind, i kept thinking "so this is the size that Christopher Lee proposed to Fann Wong" Haha
I am also curious if you wear your solitaire with eternity ring on same finger, won't it be overpowering? I am thinking of eternity ring on left 4th and my solitaire on right 4th. If i am wearing both rings together, i might just get a simpler wedding band to match. Aiyo! Cannot make up my mind.

Hi Mashi Mashi,
No worries, always good to shop and look around first. The setting of diamond, or choosing of the ring setting should be the last thing. Whats more important is choosing a good stone first, then U worry about setting. =)
Hi Twinfairy,
U can shop around first before deciding. Look out for workmanship of the ring setting too. Perhaps you can look around for what U like first, then customised it to your perference.
The Canary @The Delfi is also good for customised ring setting. The Boss of the The Canary is Larry's Ex GM.
Alternatively, U can try Je Taime @Ngee Ann City for their isee2 diamonds too. U should go in see and witness it for yourself. =)
www.isee2.com
I've noticed that for most SG gals, a good majority of them wear WB and PR/ ER on different hands. Rightfully, following the western culture, it should be both of one the same finger. EG indicate that you are already taken and have accepted someone's proposal. WB with it indicates the marital status of the gal.
Im wearing both on the same finger tho.
I have also forwarded U a good handful of Hotel's packages for your reference. One of them is Raffles Hotel package. Do let me know if those works for you. Have fun!

Hi Chuababy, got it! Thanks a ton!
I've just fixed my wedding date on 14 Nov. Decided not to wait for the tong shu since geomancer had already given us the auspicious months.
Anyway BTBs, do you all know of venues that offers 60 tables?

Mashi> What's your email addy? So that I email you the contact. But my HB forgot the address, so you will have to call them to ask about their address.
Twinfairy> Oh yeah, my HB went back to buy the solitaire and the sales guy rem him as well. The guy is really nice and gave my HB staff discount and allowed certain credit card's discount in addition.
Some will worry that it may appear empowering. So depends on your style. Also impt is that ur eternity ring be not to thick, otherwise ur PR rock will look smaller, ur HB will look heartache one, cos ur rock size quite big, then it is made looking smaller cos ur eternity ring is thicker.
A general rule will be the size of your finger (if slim and slender, can get a thinner band, if meaty-looking, may have to balance out by getting slightly thicker.) The band that hold your PR rock is a good guideline. In total, if you wear the rings togther, the thickness should be just nice for your finger. Then you won't feel overwhelmed. Then ur FH's WB's thickness will complement ur rings' thickness.
But if you chose to wear separately, you can afford to wear a thicker eternity ring, but of course, the thicker, the more ex it will be. So think of your budget.
Anyway, nowadays SG gals have no fixed mindset that you muz wear them together or not. So no worries =) Up to you de.

yeah, Stella...raywen has some good advice to heed here...
my give is...dun take tis personally Stella...remember tat times have changed and that it's no longer how many tables or how much si dian jin ur in-laws give u would determine whether ur life with ur future husband would be better based on the riches of his family...
gal, these days more modern liao...to be honest lah, for me, if my in-laws were to give anything, i would feel even more burdened...cos i've always been brought up to feel tat nothing comes for free...if they give u more, they will expect more frm u as a daughter-in-law...tat's just my 2 cents' worth...
also, could it be cos his family is pretty tight with money? if so, then can't really blame them lah...like raywen said, it's a give and take situation...
like for us, we refuse to take anything and everything is paid for by us both...even for the si dian jin (usually supposed to be paid by in-laws) also paid by him cos we dun want either side's parents to feel burdened by our wedding...it's our wedding so we want to bear the financial burden ourselves...all family, relatives and frds come to share our special day and bless us which is more than enough for us
dun be upset ok, Stella? definitely they dun mean it tat way lah...perhaps ur hb passed msg n say it in a v blunt way to make it sound like tat to u...i'm sure they would love to have u as part of their family also
*hugs and kisses*

heyhey.. me oso coming to the ring selection stage.. am looking around for something that we both like..
vy25> if you are worried abt the bands not fitting, rem to ask the sales exe whether the ring design can be altered in the future if it doesn't fit.. and also how much will it cost.. me wanted a full eternity ring initially, but due to the non-alteration factor, i'm considering half eternity instd.. but that req customisation..
i agree with thebsea, if you need the bands before your PS, allow 2 mths for customisation. Happy shopping!!!

Thanks Raywen for ur advice! Well right now after my bf explain to his parents last nite, they some sort agreed on Carlton htl..and they had chosen the dishes, awaiting to pass the permission to my parents to see whther the dishes that they chose, is it ok anot..regards to the 2 tables for bride..my bf say might be his mum is nt sure of how the procedures go cause this is her first time handling wedding oso..so in the sense i cant blame her..but i realli feel very sad last nite..tears keep on dropping..i told my mum abt this..and mym goes on saying why i chose this bf..she had told me to look for others already but i still stick to my current bf..well my bf previously stdied in ITE, nt very well off, my parents dun realli like him..lucky my bf is hardwrking to get into poly..results nt bad oso..reason i do nt leave him cause we had been together for abt 8yrs this dec..is so long..u wan me to leave him jux becoz he is nt rich enough to gif mi gd life..well who do nt want a rich husband??? my mum and dad went thru hard life before, of coz as a parent u would want ur child to enjoy life when she get married..definitely i understand this..but when it comes to love..outsiders will nt understand..and when my mum told mi last nite, is nt bery reasonable that my bf parents jux offered 2 tables..even my mum dun believe..and then she pop out stopid qn again.."Who ask u to choose my current bf" so sianz and sad to hear that lo..i am so stress up lo! now his parents had agreed on taking up, at my end i dono is they are being forced or they are realli willing to take this htl?
suddenly i had a feeling to call off this wedding..that what i told my bf last nite..feel like delaying the wedding..the mood is no longer there..when i received call from carlton htl that the 1st couple had opt out, i was so HAPPY! but when i heard the news, my heart sunk!

HI Edazz
Not too sure maybe more ex compared to the conventional brands because it is MTM... you may want to check it out.
Hi Min
Well it depends on the design of the band as well for the number of characters to be engraved. Like for my case, my hubby chose a plain band and he can engrave more than mine. My is those that have a row of diamonds on top of the band and below plain. So I have more limiations on the amount of words that I can engrave and even altering the size also cannot be done.
So gals where do you plan to get the wedding bands? Just take note that you need to at least make sure that you have to get the bands at least 2 months before your wedding. This is because in case of size or wrong engraving or stock issues....

Well Fairy Inc may be more ex compared to the conventional brands because if you want to make to measure....
Hi Min
Well the limitations of the words for engrave will depend on the design. Take for my case, my hubby chose a plain band so he could engrave more characters than mine. For me, I chose a band that has a row of diamonds on the top and plain at the bottom so I was not able to engrave more words and even size cannot be altered.

Stella, i totally know how u feel...cos i have gone thru the same thing as u or rather, v similar situation...my mum also said tat abt my bf...but who cares? i told her tat my bf is paying for most of the wedding...u noe wat she said? he shd man...he's marrying u leh...u tik wat? so easy ar? when i heard tat, suddenly she just felt like a stranger to me...macham like i'm just a tool to get more $$ like tat...of cos parents always use their past to help determine their children's future...but for me, i refused to succumb to such things...
just told her tat no matter wat happens, even if a guy whom i married can be rich cos of his family, he can also go bankrupt in 1 day...so wat kind of security do we have in money man?
of cos, i'm not a martyr or saint to start saying tat money isn't impt...of cos it's impt, tat's y we r all working...but it's not the whole essence of wat n how we live...u noe wat i'm saying?
when i told my mum tat i dun want any si dian jin (tot it's quite ridiculous cos it would be left in one corner where i wouldn't even touch it), she said i'm siao...said tat it's wat i deserved frm my in-laws...
watever it is, Stella...dun be influenced to tik tat the amt of pin jin n tables given by ur parents-in-law to ur family is a matter of face n how much pride they placed in u...it's totally nothing like tat these days...all those r usually for formality sake lah...
also, like wat ur hb said, it's a first wedding for his parents in their family...it's normal for them to be undecisive abt it...
