Hucklebeary, I saw some feathered ones in 'Accessorize' in Raffles City. There may be some in the little wedding shop over at Delfi Orchard. Beyond that, if anyone else has suggestions, please let me know!
I'm thinking to get a really nice fountain pen for the signing. Wondering how much Montblancs cost...*lol* Might be able to double up as a gift for my father also.
Speaking of gifts for parents and members of the bridal party, I got my Mom a little momento for my wedding day, just to remember the moment by. A charm bracelet with the pictures of three generations of women in her family, beginning with her mom, her, me, and her grand-daughter, my niece. Here's a picture of it:

I also got a surprise wedding day gift for Mr. Panda too! Photo cufflinks. Hope he likes them.
Is anyone else thinking of getting gifts for parents & loved ones?

Zhiwei, a precious memento like a locket with both your pictures on it, inscribed with your names, wedding date and words of love would be lovely to wear with her gown. If you google "Apples of Gold" you'll find many options. Basically the trick is to get something original, unique and beautiful. The site I'm recommending has a range of lockets for any kind of price. Or you could try Fairy's Inc with your own design. I kinda fancy wearing my love over my heart as I walk down the aisle....*sigh*
I'm so pleased to have finally secured my JP! Mr. Tan Hock Hua! for 23 Jan 2010. I've just realised the date is pretty cool, in that our anniversary would be 0123!

hucklebeary>> whoa! Ur BF really innovative! But the fire cutter alone looks a bit "Sak-Ki", very brutal feeling...maybe ask him to decorate the fire cutter with flurry ribbons?
princesspanda>> this apple of gold thingie where got your photo cufflinks or photo bracelets?

Hmmm....I'm looking for pens too. Definitely not going for the feathered quills. I fancied getting a Montblanc fountain pen to sign away my life, but then I found out they cost upwards of SGD1k per pen! *gulp* Forget it.
But I found some gorgeous pens at Campo Marzio at Basement 1 level of Raffles City! They have a wonderful collection of quirky pens, some with polka dots, others with bling-bling, and still others with that renaissance look, etc. I was drooling over the planners & notebooks too. The great thing about these pens is that I can use them even after the wedding.
For the brides, you may choose a really nice fountain pen & they'll do engraving for you for free. Perhaps can double up as a gift for your hubby or daddy? Sort of a token.
I'm 90% sure I'll be getting a smooth classy pen for the signing instead of the feathered quill. If I can't have a Montblanc we'll just have to see if Campo Marzio will do (Italian brand). Maybe I'll get the bling-bling crystal encrusted pens! :-D

Hi ctrus,
I'm no hair expert but this is the best laymen advice I have. Don't risk doing anything chemical to your hair at this late stage other than treatments, treatments and more treatments, and a trim to keep healthy. To be honest, for the entire wedding process, your hair will be curled & sprayed to perfection anyway so whether or not your perm has strength won't make a difference. The important thing is to maintain its health & LENGTH so that the artist will have more to play around with.
However, if this is your regular hairstylist and you can be sure of a great job, go right ahead. I've been growing out my hair (looking like a wild woman now!) forever just for the wedding and will only get a trim about two weeks to the date. The rest I will leave to the makeup artist to make me beautiful!

I think you let your JP know your ROM date and he will arrange time and date one to be in time for you to file lah. They are experienced liao, esp the popular ones

My JP is Mr. Tan Hock Hua. He's Mr. Panda's best friend/Best Man's dad, so that's a relief seeing that we decided to ROM here at the very last minute! He's a lovely guy, his wife too. Maybe you should consider him as your back-up?
Unless you're marrying on 23 Jan in the evening in which case he's taken! :-D

I just read from the newspapers that the ROM building going to be closed for renovation soon...dunno if I can still collect my documents before they close the old building. Roughly how soon before ROM we need to collect the documents?
