I took my bridal bouquet picture and go parkway parade there and ask the florist. The lady very nice.. told me my bouquet not difficult to do, actually can DIY. Say each stalk only cost $1.50. need about 6 stalks for one small bouquet. In the end I got her to do everything for me at $18 each bouquet. She still warn me not to cut the stalks on my own on the AD cos she's going to wrap the base for me to keep it fresh.
Sorry can't help for church floral decor. Mine is compulsory must use church one.

Hi all,
I'm new here. I have a question about getting married in church, can anyone please advise?
I'm a Catholic but my HTB is not. I read from another thread that we can get married in church after he attends the engaged encounter course, is it true? My wedding is Nov next year, what do we need to do in order to have the holy matrimony in church? how about having the solemnization in hotel by the priest, does my HTB have to attend the course too?
Thanks a lot!!

Hi Elodvd,going for engagement encounter (EE) or marriage prep course (MPC) is part of a requirement to get married in church, whether or not you're both Catholic =) It's got nothing to do with him being Catholic or not...=)
I am not sure if the priest can do a solmenisation outside the church, you may need to check with your priest about that option. (I think it's quite unlikely though)
Aside from going for a pre-marriage prep course (either EE or MPC is fine), you need to first book your church on the date you want and the priest you want =) Then go for either EE or MPC, get either a (at most) 6 mth old extract of your baptism cert from the church you got baptised at or a photocopy of your original cert (depending on your priest), and arrange for a pre-nuptual session with your priest...there your htb will have to acknowledge and agree to that while he doesn't have to convert, he has to agree to allowing your children to be brought up as Catholics =)
That (I think) is the main gist of it lah...=)
Lalaa, you can also try the bookshop next to St Peter and Paul at Queens St there...

hi all,
this is my first post and will be having my wedding next yr. my fiance is a catholic. I'm not a catholic. We'll be having a church wedding at a roman catholic church, but my fiance is not a member of any church.
After reading all these threads, i know we need to attend CEE (Catholic Engagement Encounter). We will do that but not sure when to do.
Need some advice/help from the experts here.
1. After shortlisting the churches, what do i need to do? Am looking at Church Of Sts. Peter & Paul and St Teresa Church. (As my fiance and family are not local, they need aircon and it will be comfy for guests too)
2. If possible, we would like to attend CEE at the church we will be wed.
Any problem?
3. From Flowers, Choir, Sound System, Decor. Does the churches typically have people to do these (of cos at a fee)?
4. Lunch Reception, can i have to use my own? As i would not be having a wedding dinner, we have not firmed up on using the canteen or transporting guests to somewhere.
5. Mass Booklet.
Being a non-cat, I'm not sure what to include in there, can anyone send me their samples?
[email protected]
Nervous.
Thanks!

hi bouclepomme,
Welcome and congrats! =)
St Theresa's is air-con but St Peter and Paul isn't =) You will also need to get a priest to celebrate your wedding. If you are planning to use the church wedding as a civil wedding registartion at the same time (ie: ROM at church), you will need to make sure your priest celebrating the wedding is a licenced JP, else you will need another priest to sign off on the marriage certificate.
CEE is done at a retreat house, not in a church =) It's a 2D2N (Fri night-Sun evening) stay in retreat. There's a website you can sign up for it..but book earlier if you can, so that you can get the slot earlier.
Some churches have their own church florist to do the floral arrangements but you can use your own. Choir you can approach the various choirs that sing at that particular church if they'd be available to sing at your wedding.
Lunch reception, you will need to get your own caterer and also advise the church that you will need to use either their canteen/hall (depending) and pay a fee for renting it.
Will send you some samples that I've gotten from other brides thru this forum

hi andrea thanks but issit a normal to not ROM at the church?
now my fiance side is saying we can have our religious ceremony in maybe in macau (they use to attend churches there) or something if it's hard for us to find one here.
looks like there might be some changes. my fiance feels its not very warming to have lunch reception in the church, the sitting and stuff. he thinks maybe we shld go somewhere else..
an alternative plan for us is, hold the catholic ceremony privately and ROM at somewhere with lunch.
i have no idea man .
btw i dont have to confirm any churches first before doing CEE? so i can just book now?
thanks for your quick reply too!

hey andrea, sorry..was wondering if you can send me the samples too via PM? i actually got a copy from my friend previously when she got married, then my PC crashed and I lost everything..including the wedding invites, tentative schedules etc which I had pretty much completed...vomit blood!! gotta design again from scratch and type out the schedule all over again!! sigh..then when i emailed my friend she said she already deleted her soft copy of the wedding booklet..sigh..
bouclepomme: you can have your recep out of the church, i think a couple of us are choosing to hold it elsewhere, like hotels or other venues
