Eloz Sasa!
My wedding date is initially on 18 June 05, but my MIL wanted to push early.. so i've change d date last minute to 1st Jan 05, its not a date dat me n my FH wanted but, after browsing thru, its d best date for an early wedding.. heehee. datz y..
Oh! So now u r in US, den hw do u go about trying on ur gowns? When will u b coming to singapore for ur preparations den? Its best to come 3 months b4 ur wedding date, as u can still do some last minute preps juz in case... In singapore, most ppl plan their weddings a yr to half a yr in advance, as most gd hotels/restaurants r being booked way in advance...
So watz d reaction of ur fiance when u showed him my note? heehee..

hi celtricia,
yup, sunday has a more auspicious date. we wld have preferred sat, but no choice. i'm ok with sunday i guess.
it's the next best alternative!
hi sasa,
hey! you're a BV bride too!
how are u gg to manage ur fittings if u only come bk closer to the wedding? hehe, yes, tell ur fiance 6 mths to the wedding is just about the time when preps start getting more intense! am sure it's the same over in the US. plus u are planning an overseas wedding, that's even more details to note! so do start early!

sher, celtricia and oraia,
Yup yup. You guys are making good points. I will try to communicate with my fiance again and see if he can get some motivation and share my stress. Otherwise, he always says.... you are not Singaporean and you don't know the Singaporean way. sigh...as long as he is happy and his families are happy, I should be satisfied. That's the whole purpose of having this wedding in Singapore.
Oraia, how is your experience with Bridal Veil so far? I booked them solely based on recommandation. I have not visited the shop yet. Luckyly, a couple of brides from the forum share their photos with me. I think the design is very elegant with clean cut and that's the style that I like.

hi jus_me, which church will it be at?
little_ger, checked out the kebaya shop yet? if you're planning to get sequins stitched on the top, let them know which area. ny kebaya turned out nice but they over-did the sequins, gonna get them to remove some. call beforehand cos the lady going on a short holiday. (mrs cheng 63445077)

Hi ladies!
Hv not pop by for a long time. Hope everyone's prep is going on fine
I hv checked with my parish priest & scy wrt the church charges. Think i only need to pay abt $200 or less for the church, since I won't need the hall. If I don't intend to add/request particular type of flowers, no extra charges too
Hi jus_me,
I'll be inviting our priests to lunch aft the mass. Will give main celebrant an angbao.
Hi shern & celtricia,
I was ard the Civilization Museum last nite, it's open and there was some coy function gg on in there. Find it a rather nice spot for PS.
Any of your FH tailor made their suits? My FH is rather small size and cldn't find a fitting one at our BS and yet not very keen to spend $600 on a suit to be worn only 2x at most. Any suggestion??
Good day to all!!

little_ger, dun have, forgot to bring camera, my MIL went malacca, said pricing jus slightly cheaper and so so designs only, not worth the journey up and down. checked out amor meus yet? i did but silly me forgot to ask for more pricing cos the one he quoted me is for elaborate kind. my tailor quite good lah, jus like i mentioned lor, over-did the sequins.

celtricia, thanks, hb kept asking me if he plays instruments, finally can tell him. will you be giving him an extra ang pow? kebay 550 excluding sequins

hi everyone,
i've finally signed up for mpc. this yr oct. anyone going for that one?
btw, think my wedding will be at bsc rather than at olps. wanna stick to the date we chose but olps don't entertain weddings on public hols whereas bsc very easy-going, so my church it'll be. =)
btw, wanna ask u gals, if payment to church doesn't include church rental, meaning it's free, we only pay for reception hall and flowers, how much ang bao should we give the priest?

hi zara, finally anther bsc bride, so glad
i heard can give 100 or more if you can afford if there's no church rental.
when is your AD, i forgot. have you booked the date yet, which fr? anyway, i've checked. bsc only allows 8 pews (per side)to be decorated, you need the church's contact for florist (i have the no.)? planning for reception?

hi shern,
my AD is gonna be 23 may. i haven't booked the church or priest yet cos i was away on a work trip, and we had just made up our mind abt the church b4 i left. will most prob ask for father anthony, but heard he's away or smth.
i haven't thot abt many other things yet, have just been shopping for bridal boutique and photog the last 1 1/2 mths. but still haven't booked. shld be booking by end july. thankfully, our wedding is just gonna be a simple one, so once the church, BS and photog is settled, shld be lesser stuff to do.
