[sacchar1n3]

Hearing all of you hype about your wedding bands makes me so anxious! I cant wait to collect mine in August!! Arrhhh...

[shannat]

Sacc: u r engaging who? im thinking to engage Oh Dear Photography!

[sacchar1n3]

Shanna, my friend is doing it for us! Including photoshop editing! FOC but think we will give her a red packet after everything..

OKie sure, will upload my WB pics when i get them. I can't wait!!

 

[sacchar1n3]

Shanna, you mean you will be engagin 2 diff companies for the engagament PS and pre-wed PS?

 

[revlis]

shanna: oh didnt noe is call engagement shoot, so just wear causal and make into an album? usually how many hrs is the shoot?

 

[shannat]

xrevlis, Sacc: uhmmmm, the engagement shoot shld be quite shot ba? maybe 2-3 hrs? or lesser? not sure abt the package yet..i think will rcv the soft copies only ba, then if wanna make coffee table book would be additional costs~

[sacchar1n3]

Ya oh dear is nice, like the feel!

 

[fel_han]

Shanna: ohh, so ur ROM n AD same date ah? Gd lei! Settle once n for all =) keke~ ur ring chioooo!!
xrevlis: nope, my RoM n AD wld b on diff date. Coz mine is wedding lunch, scared too rush + crowne plaza die die oso dun wanna give me their function rm for 1hr free usage for my solemnization .. Evything oso wanna charge me >.<
End up htb say he wan our ROM more intimate setting wif only family+close frens

 

[tanyix]

Heh just to share, my BS MUA charges $30/hr for early makeup before 6.30am...

 

[shannat]

fel: yah~ same date, wanted seperate dates but more costs involve.. no $$$ le..cos hv to pay for reno this mth too.. **super broke** hehe, thanks ah~ i love the ring too! im glad i drop by Ling, if not i sian si!! i think this wedding band more nai kan than the Love n co one lo~ hehe~

xrevlis: can consider this, i think pretty nice~ can use one of the pics as save the date too! ;D

 

[revlis]

ms fel: oh ok, then u need set a date for our rom, and decide if you wan to have your rom at a selected venue or at ROM office fort canning then book a place for hi tea or lunch with your family + close frens. they only allow abt 20 ppl into the rom office if i am not wrong and must be weekdays or sat morning.

but if you decided to be outside the rom venue, then quickly set a date, look for a JP and find a venue.
how abt your rom dress? does your BS provide you?
if not, u gotta source for it, and your MUA for rom + ur hubby suit for rom.

 

[fel_han]

Yx: Ohh.. Tks for the I info! Cn hav a rough gauge nw
Shanna: yar definately!! Ur Ling one is more timeless kind of style!
I hope hope hope my ring will turn out to b nice!

 

[shannat]

YX: i think its ok, most ppl charge abt $50.

 

[revlis]

shanna: ya either that or use one of my rom photos cos my PG will bring us to take some photos

 

[shannat]

fel: dun wry la! it will turn out great too! keke cant wait to see ur rings!!!

 

[tanyix]

Ms fel: I'm not too sure about ROM procedures too, but you must choose your JP from the list online, and also register your marriage online.. There's a window but I can't remember off-hand what isit

 

[revlis]

3mths before the rom date, then can register online

and i think need to register 21days before the rom date. so must find JP first cos JP will give u his/her JP code which u need to enter into the online registration.

 

[julia85]

now come to think of it...
maybe i shld jus settle with Ling..
soo kee all those usual jewellers their WB quite normal...

hmmmm...

aiyo.. so fickle-minded me!
one moment this, one moment tat..
cant make up my mind... >.<

 

[revlis]

julia: just go see

no harm seeing until u feel that the one u wan hee

 

[shannat]

julia: yah, check out Ling.. u might find what u like there.

we went to LH, SK, GH n L&amp;C also didnt find any bands we like. but we eyed quite a few at Ling's.

if not there r others right? like eclarity, josi gems n fairy inc.

 

[julia85]

shanna> haha ya lo...
somemore we bot vouchers liao..
i think most prob jus settle with Ling.. LOL!

 

[shannat]

if u cant find a design u like, can customize also ah~

 

[julia85]

yupyup =D
but most prob we'll get their design...
maybe jus modify abit here n there..
ahhaha..

 

[crystalin]

i also like ling design, but htb dun like. sigh, continue my ring search =X

oh for those who r ring-search too, lee hwa got new designs in their shop. both of us spotted a pair which we quite like. so most prob gg to be a lee hwa =D

 

[twinkling_scarlet]

For customization of rings, eg. Goldheart/lee hwa, how do they charge? Isit alot more expensive than ready-made ones?

cluelessbtb: hehe~ in fact my husb loves their works! he keep asking me to faster book with them!
