sorry, MIA for a while! So tired out with reno and wedding planning and doesn't help that it has been very busy at work too.
belinda: just spent my weekend selecting lights. whole weekend burnt like that. sigh. so tired when i woke up this morning... bought most of my furniture liao cos we bought when we see things we like.
icager: I think we shd just do whatever we can. No point following what everyone else say cos sure got conflict one. Then it becomes very stressful if you try to listen. I think main thing is must listen to parents if they are reasonable ba. Most important is you and your hubby.
ev3/huisi: Yes, i get nervous when i think about it. Cos still so much not done. But at the same time, I also can't wait to move to my new place and to get more freedom (i hope). Managed to discuss what cakes to order for GDL and working out artwork for invites. The guest list is giving me a headache cos we exceeded the total number for the hotel! Yet dare not cut down too much cos worried ppl cannot come in the end.

Jolene: Yeah, i will definitely miss my family but still very excited about moving on to something new. But must also get used to doing a lot of things myself.
thomas: yes, very scared that ppl cancel last min. If they still bao ang pao, then not so bad ba.
belinda: yes, nowadays weekends seem so short! we also need to go find out about customs. PILs also dun know and they ask the relatives, but now the relatives suddenly say need to do so many things. Which is making me feel more sianz.
huisi: i guess try not to quarrel ba. After all, wedding is only for that day, but you have to spend the rest of your life with him. I guess he also must be stressed out with all the wedding prep and also worried that need to spend more money. But on the other hand, i know what you mean cos i also end up quarelling with hubby over many small things on the wedding.

hehe, ladies, as i was reading i realised i have the same prob as most of you...be it probs given by parents, in-laws or even partner who do not show support on ideas...but as days past, i decided to take things in my stride, like wat lawlipop say, wedding day is just a day..eventually, we shld be looking forward to a happy marriage
Hello all..
Hmm. Have prepared a list of items on what is needed for the GDL. So, now awaiting for 'approval' from parents. Thinking of getting them separately. Like the bath tub, potty, basin will just get red ones from supermarktes. Those food stuffs for GDL, think will get it from market.
Huisi > let's share what are required..
what did relatives request?
Btw, may I know what are the things parents have to do? Do we need to practice the 'something new, something borrowed' custom?
Besides getting stuffs for GDL, printing of cards and wedding album, settling the JMs and XDs, A.D. schedule, montage. What else do we have to do?
Lawlipop> Hmm, the choosing of furnitures, got to take your time. Try to have mutual agreement on the design, price, etc. Cannot rush, else might lead to conflicts in later part of the marriage.
If really no time, suggest to just get basics like
bed, cupboard and settle the kitchen first.

lawlipop: throughout the preparations.. I realize that cannot ask relatives.. cos they sure add in a lot of unnecessary stuffs.. my mum wanna ask my aunties.. and I told her.. I just find out myself from the internet =X
trying to avoid quarrelling with him also.. now I just execute my ideas without asking him... i only inform that I have done
bluey: already started to feel tired le.. sometimes, I wish I can bo chup.. haha..
xinyue: so far my relatives din request anything... is lawlipop's...
my parents din ask me to practice the "sth new, sth borrowed " custom.. cos they dunno anything... but I followed myself instead.. ;P
new things will be my wedding shoes, bedsheet etc.. borrowed things will be the wedding gown.. haha.. cos we need to return to BS after the wedding...
besides all the things u mentioned, still have to take care of the seating/table arrangement.. if u have An Chuan or hair combing, need to buy the stuffs for AC/hair combing as well... and not forgetting to send reminders to guests to ask them to rsvp
vola: what is your budget? I tot u have cnfm I-Studio already?

bluey: guess that is why we all log on here... cos got ppl to share our complaints with!
xinyue: actually we got most of our furniture liao. cos we were the most enthusiastic about furniture (plus got GSS) and end up buying some even before reno works started! at least got the essentials already so the rest can hold back and wait till got time to go shop again.
vola: how about checking with your BS too? My BS told me can go find my own, but if nothing suitable, can approach them nearer the date cos they have a list of freelance PG/VG. Problem is that because they are freelance, you may be taking a risk that they are not so good lah. Maybe can try asking BS to show you some of their portfolio too (my BS had some on their computer so they just showed me as sample).
huisi: I also find out on internet! But the relatives add on for us... sigh...

i din practise something new, something borrowed..
Vola, can the pdf file be open? or not suitable for you?

xinyue: yup, they're storing the furniture for us. Usually they will help keep for a couple of months and only need to put a deposit.
snow: yes! your GDL is so early! But guess you want to have it before 7th month so that can distribute card early? i just finalised the card so hopefully can collect next week.
I am really starting to feel the stress. Cos suddenly very busy at work and there is still so many little things to tie up. Hoping to ask jiemeis to do but also dunno what to ask them to do...

Hello..
Huisi > I have just approved the cards. So, I think printing of cards will start soon.
Vola > Ask them if they drive and confirm if they will follow you on A.D in their own car or? How long in advance do you have to confirm with them on your A.D schedule..
maybe also can discuss what kind of photos do you want? as in black white, sephia or normal color?
