hmmm... think will skip gate crashing for the below reasons:
- me no jiemeis cos friends/cousins all married liao + me only child
- my hubby only 2 "brothers" but they are more like our drivers on AD
- we are & feel kinda old for the gate crashing thingy (perhaps this has nothing to do with age but we just think gate crashing a bit bo liao *no offense intended*)
- we arent having any montage during banquet hence gate crashing is not very critical
as for the hair combing thingy, my FH din want to go thru it becos his mom dont know how to go about it so we decide to skip the whole thing lor.

Hi Dainty (daintyaqua),
I tried before and I suggest that don't take the medicine from Doc.... There some side effects will happen to you. Some ppl skin breakout, health problem etc... (better dont take if near AD). Maybe try detoxic... fruits diet , excerise...More friendly to the body.
I personally go for detoxic after my encountered with Doc pills... PM me if you want to know more.

hmmm... my 1st appt for gown fitting at BS is in less than 2 weeks time.
somewhat nervous & excited at the same time.
are we supposed to strip in front of the wedding co-ordinator huh? must wear strapless bra on that day?
appreciate if someone who have been through their gown fittings can share some info/tips with me.
many thanks in advance!

seems that this forum not too active recently.

I am between a 14-16. Wanted to lose weight for the big day but recently just signed up with Di Gio Bridal and the designer asked me not to do so. Every gals wants to look best on their most impt day right....
Personally do not fancy idea of pills or slimming centres. Trying to start with jogging twice a week but think results are rather slow...Any ideas how to slim the waist/tummy and tone the thick/flabby arms?

turbbit, i used to walk the threadmill daily for 60mins but my weight dont seemed to go down. i was told that my metabolic rate is extremely low which is why weight stayed stagnant for 2 yrs inspite of healthy diet & regular exercise.
now i am on this pill prescribed by doctor. i started to lose some weight for the first time in a long, long time. i think its becos the pill actually helped to kick-start my metabolic rate. so its more effectve now when i exercised.
i have HUGH arms too. i started to swing my arms about 200 times a day recently. havent seen any difference yet but i will continue to do so hopefully can see some improvements in 2 month's time.

dear all, i finally went for our first fitting yesterday and surprisingly, it went very well!
and best of all - i dont need to take MTM!! my FH is over the moon lah cos he's actually prepared to fork out another $800 for my MTM. so now, he considers this as savings of $800!
most gowns are in small-cuttings so i din try but luckily, my co-ordinator helped me choose a few gowns that come in big cuttings. and all are nice!
i managed to fit & zip up except for one victorian type which I absolutely adore but is unfortunately only in small-cutting. this gown not chosen by the co-ordinator, my FH happened to chance upon it & we both like it so much. the co-ordinator agreed to let me try but i completely cant zip up. T_T they say they can release the inner cloth about 2.5-3" from each side to allow additional 5-6" so i can zip up! Lol. like super desperate hor! but i will try to lose more weight so they dont have to do so much work lor. so overall, i managed to choose 2 halternecks WG (1 smooth satin type with train, the other pom pom type), 2 bustiers EG gowns (the victorian pom pom one i mentioned earlier, the other in dark blue, smooth A line type). will choose 2 costumes from the studio (perhaps japanese and kua) for my PS.
my ROM dress is probably the only thing i din quite like becos they only have one gown for me to try due to my size. and i din really like the design lah but anyway, will stick with it cos dont want to waste extra $$ to buy another dress lor. my ROM dress is those plain white bustier short A line type with lace at the hem. the hem only reach my kneecap which i dont quite like cos my calf also fleshy so prefer if can cover under mid-calf but i guess bo bian cos most of the ROM dresses all short short types. my co-ordinator added ribbon at the waist for me so wont look so plain & boring. it does look nicer when a long & satin ribbon is attached to the waist lah.
and my PS is on 30 apr!! cos in may, they are rather full already! wont have much time to lose weight but keeping my fingers crossed nevertheless.

Angel,
I've tried a few diet plan which work pretty well.
1) Fruit & Vege Detox Meal.
Just purely fuit and vege. No sauces, no sugar, no salt if possible. And no soft drink. Only plain water. Min is 3 full days. Max is 7 days. The last time i tried 3 days, lost appx 2-3kg.
2) Protein Meal
Just meat, vegetables. No carbo. No softdrink.
Min also 3 days if not mistaken.
3) Keep your calories Under 1000. And increase activties like walk appx 10000 steps per days.
Hope it helps. Jiayou.

hi hi june_june, which is your bridal studio? how was the photoshoot? had fun?
hi (Amanda1982),
my bridal studio is Bridal Zone..the photoshoot was not so good, the photographer(very nice and patient) had to keep telling me not to hunch(my fault) and the assistant had to repeatedly use the veil to try to cover my chunky arms.. =(
i think wat makes things worse is my hubby is the super skinny type..beside him i look HUGE..
btw, u born in 1982? if yes, me too =)

june_june, i think most BS will do some digital touchup/photoshop etc so dont worry too much, ur PS will turn out nice.
i am also having my PS very soon (on may 8), like you, my hubby is also those skinny types, to be more exact, he's tall and thin while i'm short and fat.
nevertheless, we will go for our PS with an open mind and hope that the day will turn out fun and eventful.
