crystaline : oh i didnt noe got bto
i love tampines area, grow up in tamp sighz.. miss it.
flyer rom premium package at $4999 , me and htb went for their 1st rom shows last yr in dec and was offer $500 off the package if we sign up on the spot but package valid for a yr. but htb havent proposed so he feel that if he buy the package first, i might have the impression that he will be "force" to marry me within that 1 yr validity, he dun wan to give me that feeling so he say next time after he proposed then we sign up if we still keen.
hee who noe he went to contact the coordinator separately without my knowledge and sign the deal within a week cos coordinator did tell us he can still offer us the $500off if we sign within a week. he ask the coordinator not to tell me.
then in feb this yr he proposed to me and surprised me with the flyer package
he got intention to rom this yr but keeping me in the dark so i wont suspect anything. i tot he only plan to rom like in 2012 or 2013 as he always say another 2 to 3yrs.
oh it include a nite stay at ritz carlton, 2 rotation on flyers, decorated capsule and finger foods, 4hrs of yacht and two-ways limo transfer.
now the package is $3999 without the 4hrs yacht. they have standard package at $2999 without yacht , no hotel stay, no limo transfer, but just a simpler decor and finger foods.

Pearl: just to correct myself.. Instead of 'behind' d S-11, shud b 'beside'..On d left of d S-11. Don't nd to walk thru d S-11..instead, go towards its left exterior..

actualli plan to give her a surprise also cos she leaving one day after the yacht, then wanna buy her a cake to celebrate her bday in advance on the yacht cos her bday in dec, where she will be in states already. htb is agreeable of my planning hee.
oh thks for the birdcage info

oh thks for the birdcage info
Thanks Shellie for your detailed information! hehe. people in the forum are realli realli nice! haha. my htb actually very frightened that i come forum. coz he himself is a frequent forum reader (for those guys forums i guess, like hardwarezone or something i think). then he say scare i "get bad influence" from the forum. lol
pearl: hey pearl, i bought a precious moment cross stitch thingy for my fren's wedding from popular bookstore.. not sure if they have it at all outlets, but i got mine from northpoint, yishun. its actually a cushion, and comes with all the materials u need to make it into a cushion, except for the stuffing

Xrevlis: hee..that's double sweet & v thoughtful of u to celebrate ur BFF's bday on d yacht. Hee, actually ur can celebrate in advance tog since ur bdays oni a few days apart.
Yup, can just put d rings into d birdcage & take d rings out upon ur JP's instruction. To add d feel, u can put ur rings on a 'nest'. My florist I think, use thinly shredded colour papers to do it. Keke, to play safe, dont put put d rings inside too early. Scared go missing den siao liao. Put them in when d ceremony is abt to commence.
Suggests u assign 1 of ur Jie Mei as ur coordinator to be in charge of all d documents required for d solemnization e..g I/Cs of ur bf, u & ur 2 witness, d ROM cert, ur rings, Ang Pao
for JP. Cos both u & ur bf will b occupied wif entertaining ur guests b4 & after d ceremony.
Pearl: Hee, ur most welcome. Happy to b of help.
yeah, I luv this forum cos I learnt alot from fellow btbs who shared their advice here.
LOL. For my husband, he is cool that Im in this forum but he did comment that sometimes I'm so engrossed reading d forum that I wasn't listening to him when he's talking to me.

shellie: hee yup plan to celebrate together with our hubby
oh i can only put the ring when we board the capsule, so most prob will ask my close fren to help out
thks for the tips hee
chinzilla: hee yup

chocolatebasket: yup usually share among your jiemeis but hor advise is to tell them in advance how much red pkts (i.e no of red pkt or the sum) they shd be collecting from your hubby, in case they turn ugly when they realised the amt is not wat the expected but usually jiemeis are our v close frens so wont be so calculative and is for the fun, not to earn monies but in case some ppl are like that. cos got once i was the jiemei and the other two jiemeis keep asking and asking until the groom gotta take out his wallet and all monies given to them and still need to borrow from his xiongdis. very ke lian.
charlotte: thks, will check it out

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and a 2012 btb too..
Wondering if I can get a bit of help here from all of you...

Secondly, I'm keen to find out more about the Mandarin Oriental package for both the garden or atrium suite... wondering what perks you ladies managed to bargain for..
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Shellie: im doing lunch too but dun think have enough tables for oriental ballrm. Do u mind sharing with me what perks u managed to request for?
I couldnt resist and went to take a look at their ballrms. Garden suite And oriental ballrm really impress mi! But im thinking of 15-20 tables. Atrium suite doesnt look as nice. I wonder what i can bargain for as i heard that if im taking lesser tables, very hard to get good perks.

So, other than the gate crashing money, you give ur sister additional ang bao money too?
Is that the norm?

Chocolatebasket: I think it's up to individual. No fix rule on this. I hav been Jie Mei for 7 of my gf & they didnt give an extra Ang Pao to us. Hee, 1 of them made 'Thank You' card & gave us 1 of their bridal picture.
But I did receive Ang Paos from their parents.
