Busy busy...HB is leaving soon. Many farewells. Think I'm gg to get fat at the rate that we are eating and yet not moving =P
Twinfairys> Bingo, you are correct. I'm a physiotherapist. I'm also a certified physical trainer and a clinical pilates instructor. Hope to be a yoga one as well, but till we have a posting in India, hope to learn the authentic forms. Hehe.
I do agree with you that sometimes when couple dun see eye to eye and $ matters can be quite sensitive. I thought that our many years of relationship is okie all along, till marriage preps really test our limits to another level. But it's even better now, after we communicated openly and clearly. You'll get there. No wonder sometimes I heard people say that a wedding can make or break a relationship. Exaggerating or not!?
If you hope to get overseas PS plus celebrating ur BD, choose somewhere that you like. What countries do you like to celebrate ur BD? =D
GG> I will listen to you and get more winter clothings there since it is cheaper there. Hehe! $ saved. I agree with Mashi that you must give MTMs at least 3 mths to come out with the gowns (as according to my gown designer), so ur meeting with Ted in Dec is definitely just nice. If you wish for redesign after PS, maybe you can ask him if he can come out with modified versions of the same gowns (meaning one for PS and an altered one as on the same gown for your AD), so that not a lot of time is wasted and you can have different looks of the same gowns. Ur friends and family will think Ted is very good at modifying your gowns, giving your same gowns fresh looks. Wah, very lucky you ah.
Mashi> I agree that Apr and May is good to take pics. Not many rainy days and the clouds will look nice and defined. Ur timing to choose gowns after CNY couldn't be better. Make sure you rem to bring wet tissues and insect repellent. Nice looking weather also mean hot, meaning you'll sweat. I did, as well as covered with insect bites. Haha! Oh man.
Peareys> I also heard of what Twinfairys described, the PR is to protect ur WB. During solemnisation, cos I wore my PR, so the WB is put in front of my PR. Then I find that the arrangement seems weird. So after my ROM day (cos our families said at least don't take out for the day), I changed to wearing WB inside and PR outside, thought it looks nicer. Haha! So up to you de.
