Morning all,
Went for my fitting last night.. my gowns all grow bigger.. haha.. all thanks to the renovation works..

Am going 4 my photoshoot this friday but I'm having outbreak.. sigh.. anyone has any express remedies to recommend??

xka,
no pic le. and no tester. =p maybe if there's another event coming up and they order the chocolates again, then i can keep some for u. =p
nok,
that's what my colls, chocolates no wastage plus it won't ended up collecting dust on people's table or something. haha. i haven't gone to look for boxes though.
dun worry about your outbreak la. your MUA should be able to conceal for you plus the touchup artist can perform photoshop magic on your pics mah. =)

this are some verses u can use....
"If you are pondering over a gift
Here's a little hint
It's something they print at the mint
Above what you may decide
Having you with us is our delight"
'If a gift is on your mind,
Cash is one of its kind'
"Your presence at our wedding is present enough!
But if we're honored with a gift from you,
may we respectfully request a gift of money
to help the dream of our new home come true!"
"We have our hearts set on a trip to Hawaii,
We're saving every nickel and dime.
So if you aren't sure what to get for a wedding present
A gift of cash would be just divine! "
"We have two of EVERYTHING because
joining lives means joining households, too!
So please don't give us another toaster --
a gift of money is what we'd appreciate from you!"
"No gift is too small to give, nor too simple to receive,
If it is chosen with thoughtfulness and given with love;
Our life together has just begun,
And we have almost everything under the sun;
We have enough dishes and towels for two,
So we have a favour to ask of you
To save you searching a gift for two,
A generous monetary blessing would be pleasant of you;
We hope our request is ok,
For this would really make our day;
And when we choose something new,
We can say it was all thanks to you!
Love,
XXX"
" Cash is King,we prefer be a one day king and queen"

michelle> u can refer to www.goldenhappiness.com.sg for info on traditional wedding details. very good webbie
This is a very very active thread! wow..
Hi Michelle!
Below are my experience:
Ping Jing: Roughly from $1200 to $2800, some mum may ask for table's(abt 6-10 tables) ang baos too. but depends on how much $ ur mum asked from ur HTB.
Guo Da Li: normally takes place 1wk to 1 mth b4 ur AD. Items for my GDL: 8 oranges, 2 Martell, ping jing angbao, 6 can pig trotters,2 bag of peanut candy,2 sets long feng candle, etc. (also depends on wat ur mum ask from HTB side.)
The parents' meeting will be during food tasting dinner, so in the meanwhile we convey and talk to our parents b4 tt.
There's more, but u try to settle things and details earlier, so it will not b so rush when AD is nearing!
Let me noe if u wanna find out more.
