Hi Gracie,
I've booked Holy Family church too! When is your big day?
Can I check with you please if they are using OHP projectors (like St Michael church) or if they still have mass books (and do the mass books contain a wedding mass section?)
My future in-laws go to Holy Family and I'm not familiar with the church ( I got to st Michaels). Thanks so much!
Hi Andrea, could you please send me a copy of the mass booklet too? My email is [email protected]

hi slog singapore, mail sent liao =)
madelyn, generally ppl print their own coz not all churches use projectors and powerpoint for their masses =) Usually guests will bring back a copy of the mass booklet but generally there will be some left over...so if u dun wanna waste paper, maybe u can just place a few on the pews and ask your guests to share =)

Slog:
Mine's on Oct 25 '08. Not sure about OHP projectors, but some Churches these days use plasma TVs
I haven't check with the Church sec about the mass booklets, but have got samples from Andrea 
Ours is likely to be a wedding service instead of a mass coz only immediate family attending and mostly non-Catholics. Who's your celebrant? Mine is Father Patrick Goh.
Nec: Thanks for your advice! I'll definitely bring a jacket/sweater/shawl coz I'm scared of the cold.

Can anyone recommend a good florist?? Both for church and bouquet deco?
I just met up with one (shall not disclose the name of the company) but after the meeting and all we discussed, she missed out alot of the items I requested for in her quotation!! hiyo I dunno if she was listening to me during the discussion. headache...

Does anyone have a church service booklet to show me? Pls email me at [email protected]
thanks heaps!
thanks heaps!
love or money, there are 2 readings still...as mentioned earlier, a service is a mass without communion. What the priest suggested for my friend who had a service was that he could make an arrangement to give her communion. But she opted to not do that. Perhaps you can check with the priest what he suggests...
Will email you a couple of samples

Oh... sorry something else - what was the schedule for your AD? I'm confused as to what to do first and what time. HTB is Teochew.
JMI! My wedding also at St Teresa
My florist is Mia (blissfulthots) also! Im getting both the church package and basic package (car, corsages, hand bouquet) from her.
Apart from my mum's friend who sponsored (and still gave me excellent service) my printing of programme booklet & church invites,
Mia has the best service & attitude Ive experience for my wedding preps.
My wedding in one week's time! Update you all once its all over! Cant wait!

hi JMI and FSS. Is Mia the church florist? Is it ok if you could share her contact? you can drop me a mail at [email protected] Thanks! How do we arrange for alter boys and how long before your wedding mass will the florist decorate the church - for those getting married/got married at St Anne's.?
Hi Andrea,
Can i have a copy of the wedding mass as well?
our email is [email protected]
Also, im really lost.. im a non catholic, HTB is a catholic, im not too sure what to prepare or do for the church wedding? His parish church is St Joseph, hence since St Joseph doesnt hold weddings, we have to hold at the closest church which is st peter and paul. Can any kind souls pls guide me along to the preparations pls?

Anita,
You shouldn't have to worry about the altar boys, the priest will take care of that. You'll usually have an hour or two before the wedding to doll up the place, time might be tighter on the weekend, especially if it's booked end to end.
papaya,
If you ask me I'd say it's up to you, personally I'd prefer it if my bride goes solo, just the dad and her and the little 'uns if you got 'em, too many people and I feel like I'm waiting for an entourage not my bride, but that's just me, whatever floats your boat, it's your day, do what YOU like.
Hey esfe,
Here's a thought, why not hold it at your parish church since you can't do it at his? Since you're prepared for a wedding service you might as well make it meaningful in some way and do it at YOUR parish.
Get your HTB to get off his ass and talk to the parish priest about having a wedding at such and such a date at the church, the least he could do is take the lead for this portion of your wedding since he should be more comfortable and/or familiar with what needs to be done. The priests are more than willing to walk you through the process and what you guys need to do.
There's the spiritual side and the more mundane prep like caterers. For the spiritual side, the priest will sit both of you down and run through a series of questions to see how prepared you both are for marriage. He'll also do some admin side stuff like checking on your HTB baptism cert. Other factors you need to take note of are if the church has a place onsite where you could hold the post ceremony reception, also things like arranging for the choir and church deco, these two the priest should have a contact he can recommend to you if you have none. That's it off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more that the others can think of. Do let us know what church YOU belong to if you were Catholic, some of us might have gotten married there and can help more specifically.

Hi esfe
I agre with Chris, yr HTB should help out! After all I'm assuming the reason why you are getting married in a Catholic church is coz of him/his family right?
To e other brides, sorry I disappeared for so long, my laptop crashed!! But I got it up and running again. Luckily I managed to save all the wedding prep files so phew!!
I've confirmed Mia as my florist. Very impressed with her speed and flexibility and the best part is, her price is very reasonable too. If there are any brides who hasn't confirm their florist, I would recommend her.
Andrea, does SFX have a piano??

On evaluation, we love our partners to bits as they delivered more than we payed for.
Florist (excellent!!!), Gowns & Make Up Artist (billions of compliments), Photographer (pictures perfect!), Videographer (lovely express highlights), Home Buffet, Cards Printing, Church Programme Printing....
Not forgetting each and every one of you here who have lent a listening ear and an advice or two. Your little gestures in the past months meant so much...
