i think by "tradition" need to get new bed. for me, erm, i will be getting everything, cos we r moving to a hse of our own. erm, his old hse de stuffs are really old, so.... im so not gg to bring over to my new place! as for bed, my mum told me to buy a new bed closer to the an chuang date, so i think most prob we gg to get a queen mattress to slp on first, then when the date comes nearer then we buy a bed.. ZzzzZzz.

hey u girls got any idea if 6hrs of Pre-wed is sufficient in Singapore (about 3-4 location)? or 10 hrs is better (about 5-6 locations)??
Hi Emily! for my exp the changing of Make up/ Hair takes abt 30 - 1hr per change. And the first style took me abt 1.5 hrs.
Will you be having a new style for ea gown? If not 6ｃï½ï½Žã€€ï½‚ｅ　ï½ï½ï½Žï½ï½‡ï½ï½‚ｌｅ．　Ｏｔｈｅｒｗｉｓｅ　１ï¼ã€€ï½‰ï½“　ï½ï½Žã€€ï½”ｈｅ　ｓï½ï½†ï½…ｒ　ｓｉｄｅ

Hi ladies... Can I find out what sorta ring sizes do you all get? The snug fit kind or the looser kind? Cos mine will be platinum and the sales assistant told me it cannot be resized.. And there's no half sizes! So I'm undecided about my ring size. I'm afraid my fingers will get bigger after I give birth next time. And we're intending to wear our wedding bands forever.
Suggestions/experiences?

yeah after an chuang, the night b4 the wedding, there are 2 options. Either both groom and bride do not sleep on the night and leave it empty. Else, groom can sleep on the bed but together with a dragon boy. Sleeping alone on the bed will cause the bride to be in bad health after wedding. My suggestion is if you can't find a dragon boy, just don't sleep on the bed at all and leave it empty. Safer la.
For those more pantang ones, don't let anyone into your room after an chuang and also don't let anyone sit on the bed.

heya: We went to Taichung, Nantou area. Its abt 1.5 hrs by HSR from Taipei. =)
The locations were:
Ri Yue Tan: by the lake and at the wharf.
Cingjing Farm: Shangrila Music Villa and the Mt side there
Other locations that are popular with brides at the Cingjing farm are the farm: abt S$8/ pax entry (can take pics with the sheep) and Old England Hotel : additional S$700 per couple and Small Swiss Garden : abt $5-6
Taipei is oso very popular. like Yangming Shan, Jiufen Mirama ferris wheel, Dan shui etc etc. Not too familar with those PS locations tho =)
haha i regret not taking PS at the Ye Shi tho. Will be quite different

what about four seasons?? any comments so far ladies?? =)
wah this New Bed thingy is quite tricky ah... how ah??
there's some things this feng shui lady tell me also.. that both couple must go in from the Right side of the car, the guy first follow by the lady, and also get down from the RIght Door of the car....
then go in the groom's house, both must step in the house together.....
then also cannot take out the shoes... things like that =p

emily: i think it is basically up to how much u believe? IMO, if u believe deeply in FS, then best to follow it, its the same as the pantang issues, if u believe in it, best to follow but if u do not, then not necessary.
for me, im more like 1/2 1/2, some i find logical enough, then i will go ahead and follow. others, i will just let it pass. but also up to your parents, whether they will be particular abt it anot.

Is it a must for bride to accept everything in the guo da li? I read that the bride must return some of the stuff back to the groom's side

the pig trotters can next time cook for confinement.. then can change the martell to DOM right for GDL.. cos DOM can use for confinement too ma..hahaa... min_min u oso veri creative wor!! DOM sounds like a good idea too! lol
julia: hahaha.. i think i did have fren who gave 24 cans to his MIL wor... loll..
I shall tell my mum no need so many cans de lor.. can take ur suggestion to sub with other things. hahaha
i think when the groom present our side with the martell, we must give him bottles of soft drink back. haha.. dunno what is the meaning to this though..
actually the kua which the bride wears is also a cantanoese tradition.. but lots of ethnic follow suit.. so i think our traditions in SG is abit rojak liao.. haha
nvm.. once in a lifetime only.. if simple ones.. can jus follow.. too ma fan de.. can skip it if parents dont mind.. make things easier for us oso.. haha
so many things to learn from a wedding!!

fel: try baileys with green tea. very nice! its my fav drink now!
haha taste like milk tea with a tad of alcohol! maybe u r allergic to alcohol?
min: i dont like chivas,the taste really very off for me now.. martell still ok, but i seldom hv that now too. keke. usually will take vodka, but i prefer the ones with added fruit flavours.
oh ya, anyone booked corpthorne king? im attending my friend's wedding there next mth! can give feedback if needed!

it's not for self-taken... most brides' mothers will give 1-2 cans each to the relatives together with the cakes... and do take note if u all order many boxes of cakes, it's best to set your GDL in the morning like 9am, then immediately set off to your relatives' house to distribute the cakes... i dont think ur hse's fridge can fit in more than 20 boxes of cakes, right?
this is something i did for my GDL few mths ago...

hmmm sometime it's not abt the needs... but more to the traditional want... do talk to your parents before deciding on anything or taking anything away from the list without their known... previously i also thought why must have this and that, so waste of money etc... but one day my father tells me it's a tradition that we cannot abandon, if not, we might look "not worth" or not marrying well, etc...
this could be the starting point to show your parents that ur future hubby can attend to what you want... to let them have a reassurance on who u are marrying to -- definitely not someone who is stingy, etc...
ar well, just care a bit of what your parents' requirement ba, so long as it's not too over from them..
my 2 cents of view~
