Charmaine> Thanks for the contacts. Will drop by and take a look. We're both not wine person also. My bil told us that there are 3 kinds of red wine. He advise us to get the one which is not really smooth and not very sweet. Reason being, those sweet and smooth ones tend to run out fast and easier cause the guest drink really fast with those.
ahBlur> Me too. I also scare not enough than will be quite paiseh right? Better cater enough. Think 1.5 bottles should be enough. I only got around 20-23tables, so probably need another 11-12 bottles.
Jaq> Wow.. the pic must be very nice. So long as you both like it, then don't think about the $ already. Just look forward for the album collection. Hee..
Cherie> How's your gown fitting? Managed to find your ideal one? Er.. what happen to your mood after food tasting? Hope everything turn out fine.
Garfield> We hasn't select our wedding favor yet. Infact, we didnt know what are the options also. Hee.. probably will ask about it during the food tasting (which we hasn't book the date yet). Heehee..
Von> My in-laws also didn't ask about the GDL stuff. Me just confirm the items with my mum and probably going to get the items together with my hb. The si dian jin, we also went to look at the design without my in-laws. Hee.. we also hasn't print our cards, so haven't proceed to the 'folding' stage.

Jascmy> If you are not happy you can speak to the manager...
reine & stella - As for my bridal car, I only get to know the car plate number 2 days before my AD.. The driver personally called me to confirm date,time & address.. Seems that my BS outsource to others for such service.. Guess it's a Norm... Dun worry =)
As for the An-Chuan, I don't have any boy jumping or rolling on it... Those elderly said that only "old" bed needs this procedure .. As mine is a new one, we can "miss" this... ä¸çŸ¥è€…æ— ç½ª...
Jascmy - My Hotel lagy best... test the audio system on the AD evening like 5pm... My hubby got to rush up and down to check on things... Luckily all turn out to be good.... Heng Ah.....

Charmaine> I'm with merchant court. Nothing went wrong with the food tasting. Just angry with someone close who wants to make money out of us.
Shir> Yup found 2 gown that I really like but havent finalise yet. The more problematic is the evening gown. There is this black one that is really WOW. But is so black. The other that i choose is a Pink dress. Nothing went wrong with the food tasting. Just angry with someone else who wants to make money out of us.

ahBlur> my hubby although consoled me.. but he din play much part in it lor.. mostly is me n my mum deciding on the things lor.. ask him.. he say as long as u like.. haiz.. i wan comments lor.. maybe im asking too much from him???? its like im the only person getting married..
Cherie> Hee.. so good.. got 2 that you like. I am pretty scare that I cant find any that I like. Cause for my PS, really cant find one that we really love it. Its like a 'no-choice' kind of selection.
I think most young couples will like black. Me and hb abit different. We didnt want black though the coordinator kept pushing black to us. There's one shocking pink gown with black lace that look kinda nice for me, but hb didnt want it cause of the black lace though its really pretty minimum. Hee..
I agreed with ahBlur, most of the elders will not like to see black. I try to avoid black as much as possible cause I also thought black look pretty solemn, red seems to be more of a joyous colour for wedding. Besides, we got plenty of chances to wear black after the wedding. And also, me didnt want to take risk with my in-laws on wearing black for my wedding. Hee..
Angeline> What are those GDL stuff that you bought? Me check with my mum over the weekends for her list, she didnt have much except rock sugar, red dates, cake, pork cans, dragon-phoenix candle. For herself, she'll buy the bedside lamp and 1 wash face basin for us.

Christy, I don't dare to complain to Manager now. Worried that the coordinator will get angry and make our wedding lunch even worst. I will sure complain after my wedding. Hope everything will go on smoothly on that day.
iris, Thanks, more relief now after hearing your experience.
6 days to go for me!

Angelina> Ya your husband really nice to console you.
ahBlur> Your words make me feels better. Yes! I'm still young.
Shir> Ya at least the BS very good. She let me chop the 2 gown and let me decide 2 weeks b4 the wedding. I still open to choose then. The BLACK evening gown is VERY black until it look like a crow, so they suggest to put a gold slash across. But i still dont dare to try. Prefer something more safe.

Jascmy> Oh okie glad than your hub is helping you out. No worries
Cherie> Your bs so nice, let you chop 2 gowns and decide only 2 weeks before wedding. hee.. waa.. so black ar.. yah.. better go for something safe. Don't think a gold slash can do much different to a very black gown. What colour will you be picking?
Angelina> waa.. really alot of stuff. My mum didnt tell me about the sewing kit, towels, new bowls and cups. Ummm.. maybe I ask her again. Seems like you still got quite abit of traditional stuff to buy. Yah.. your hb is very nice to console you. To me, I think its better that he leave the decision-making to you cause at least you get to choose what you like. Hee.. Cheer up~

So must make sure this time round the laptop we planning to use will be compatible and fine.

Saggie> thanks for sharing. So the damage for tradition stuff should be ranging around $150 - 200. Think my mum exclude quite abit of stuff, either she didn't know about them or she didnt want them. Hee.. my mum quite funny, she told me that she might not even want to have the pork cans though we're hokkieh. Its only until I told her that it represents that her daughter is pure pure. Then she told me she'll think about it. Heehee.. will check with her on the GDL list again.
Piggylover> Are you having your ROM during dinner? What about your actual gown? Also settled? My cards are still sitting at the hotel, think we have to faster look for a printer to print since most of you seems to be at the folding and tying stage.
Greentwinkle> What's the meaning over the gold ring? I asked my mum if she getting any gold for hb, she told me give cash more practical. -.-!

Nikiko> Haha...erm, actually we forgotten to bring rubber bands & envelopes! That's why muz share with u gals this little advice.
I'm also like you. VERY paranoid of screw-ups. Coz am used to be in events line, so I'm quite a perfectionist. After all, it's nw my own life event! But like wat my hubs say, sometimes bound to have hicups, coz certain things not control by us. In any case, just have to enjoy the whole process lor. But said is easier than done lah. I totally understand. So just try to test out whatever u need to test out in advance to prevent any possible hipcups.
Hahahaha...I actually let my hubs do the "Thank You" speech. But hor, he ended up sabo me also after he finished his! I'm totally caught off guard & unprepared. He thanked both set of parents & the guest for their time. While I just said "Thank you everyone for your time. Really appreciate it". Hahahahaha....I tell u ah, on the stage, confirm brain freeze!!!! We did not prepare the script in adavnce lah...more of impromtu wan lor
Reine> Hahha....but once yours is done, you'll be missing it very very much!
Later am still gg back to our bridal suite for additional 1 more night stay...so gota really enjoy the time in it liao! hehe

Shir: I doubt 1 bottle is sufficient for 1 table.. I am ordering my wine (better quality wines) from Crystal wines, the rest, I am getting it from Hilton, wun want to waste it on cockage charges as well.
Jaq: Soft copies = uneditied copies as well?
Jane: my case, I will informed the hotel to only provide those better wine to eg table 8, 9 and 10.. For other guests, provide the usual table wine..
Btw, has anyone bought the tea sets? How much did you gals get? I saw one at JB, RM 69.90.. is it ex?
