hi gals,
i'm not sure if this is a norm..
my wedding mass is in the morning and then it'll be dinner at nite.. most of my frens, esp the non-catholics, are not coming for the church wedding.
i know it's a bit troublesome to come in the morning, then break for the afternoon.. and then gotta come for the dinner in the evening.. but just abit disappointed lor.. that friends whom i'll expect to attend are not coming for the wedding mass.. mostly coming for dinner only..

Hi Verylastminute,
Between FH and myself, I am the only one who is even baptised. However, he is very much into christianity. I think our celebrant was very impressed when my FH said that he wants our wedding to be a glorification to God.
Hi Minssy,
Wow, you are really taking it cool. Good for you! You must be well prepared by now. I think it is good to go out and relax prior to the big day anyway.
You also sound like a very positive person. Have you gotten rsvp responses from
everyone for your church wedding? Your church wedding will be one cosy affair then.
Hi Lavender,
One thing that I have learnt through all these is that not to expect too much from casual friends. What's important is that those that truly matters to you turns up for the wedding.

Lavendar,
Never mind. I think friends close to you would come for the church ceremony. And those who appreciate the importance of the religious rite. But sometimes, just because they don't turn up doesn't mean they don't wish you well, or that you aren't important to them. It could be a scheduling problem. Or a they are just so busy on the weekend, with overtime work, demands from family, other friends etc. Your wedding is an important day for you, but it is also just another day in their lives, and they have their lives too, does this make sense? And maybe that's why they make it for one of the two events on the day only. What's more important is the sincerity in their well wishes

Fleur,
French manicure is where they paint your nails with clear nail polish, then paint the tip with white paint. Makes your nails look very natural and elegant.

Wow minssy,
8 more days to go and yet you are still so steady! If I were you, I guess I will feel stressed. Anyway, enjoy your rehearsal.
Most likely I will not be having the gatecrashing in the morning...then again I guess I will miss the fun of having a gatecrashing.
What about the rest of you gals, would you be having gatecrashing for your wedding?

oh yah! i had the rehearsal today... the couple that was assigned to guide us basically told us the below:
- how to stand (couple, page boy, flower girl, bridesmaid)
- how should your dad give you away
- where to sign the ROM register
- when to do reading etc etc...
they are all logistics stuff... i dun have a choir so the rehearsal was abt 1/2 hr.. but bcos i asked some questions and we yaked other stuff, it kinda stretches up to 45 mins...
so anyway, dun worry.. when its your turn, you will know what to do.. hee..

Hi Minssy/Fleur/Roses,
Thanks for sharing.. yeah, i guess i understand what u'all meant.. most of my closest frens are attending and it's always touching to hear 'sure, i'll be there!' without any hesitation the moment you asked if they're coming. i do understand that some of my frens hv work commitments on saturday mornings so i can't impose on them. but its disappointing to hear replies like 'attend dinner only, so that i dun hv to make 2 trips', 'too far', etc..
anyway, will see how things go.. urgghhh.. the guest list is driving me crazy!!
not forgetting.. congrats, Minssy!!

Hey Fleur,
Saw your post on the wedding cakes thread. Can you tell me more about your cake, like how many kg and how much etc? Maybe you can post at the other thread...
When is your wedding date btw?
Minssy,
After you get married, must still visit the forum, give advice and instill your "coolness" in the rest of us okay?

Hi all,
I'm having problems with choosing of songs and psalms for my service as 90% of my guest are non-catholics (including me).
I would like to use a psalm that is sung and is familiar to both christians and catholics but other than "As the Deer" are there others?
What are the other hymns familiar to christians that are suitable for wedding entrance hymns?
My AD is less than a month from now, need help, pls give suggestions, thanks.

Hi Fleur,
hmm.. for me, i'm not inviting my colleagues to church coz we work on shift, so i understand that they won't be able to make it even if they want to attend.
But in general, from the response i've received so far, i feel that Catholics will attend the church whether or not they are very close to you. Those non-catholics who attend are only those who are close to you.

Hi carelinwen
Are you familiar with Psalm 92? The lyrics for the song goes like this:
It is good to praise the Lord
And make music to Your name
O, God most high
To proclaim Your love and faithfulness
All the days and through the nights
You make me glad by Your deeds, O Lord
So I cherish all the works Your hands have made
How great are your deeds, O Lord
Elohim Baruch Hashem
May I dwell in Your courts, O Lord
There to flourish like the trees of Lebanon
Planted in the house of Adonai
There to live forevermore.
If you'd like to hear the melody, go to http://www.audiblefaith.com/pages/sg201811 where you can listen to an mp3 sample.
In case you're wondering, "Elohim Baruch Hashem" is Hebrew and it translates into "Blessed is the name of God"

Hi carelinwen,
To add to my earlier post, my friend did not play a bridal march during the walk-in, instead, he sang this hymn for the entrance hymn as well as walk-in. It was sooo beautiful and touching - his bride was so moved that she had tears in her eyes
This is The Day (Scott Wesley Brown)
This is the day that the Lord hath made
And I’m so glad He made you.
With each rising sun you are here by my side,
You are more than a dream come true.
Oh, to have you, to hold you, to love you, to pray
To share with, to care with, to hold hands and say:
This is the day that the Lord hath made
And I will rejoice, I will rejoice
I will rejoice with you
This is the love that the Lord hath made
That you and I we are one.
Love’s mystery is unfolding today,
Written for us in the Son.
Oh, for better, for worse, for rich or for poor
Each day that passes I’ll love you more
‘Cause this is the day that the Lord hath made
And I will rejoice, I will rejoice
I will rejoice with you

Ladies, please keep me in your prayer. Now I've a problem with getting someone to help with the LCD projector in church. It has to be someone who is trained and handle the equipment and I'm still waiting for a reply from them. I have actually asked permission from the Parish priest and he approved but the sacrastian refused to let me use unless I can get someone from the church choir. I am very stressed up as the day is approaching very near. I pray that the kind soul will lend a helping hand. If not I've to approach the parish priest again to be granted to operate on our own if I'm forced into the circumstances. I don't wish to make a scene out of it as we are all Christian bros n sisters in Christ. SIGH!!!
Hi Aiko,
My day of events are more or less settled. The flow will be along these lines:
8am: Wake up to start make-up
9.45am: Leave for church to standby by 10am.

11.30am: Wedding mass ends. Photo taking with family.
11.30am - 1.30pm: Lunch reception
1.30am - 3pm: Photo taking for bride & groom
3pm: Head to hotel to rest
6pm - 7pm: Tea ceremony in hotel for both sides
7pm: Cocktail & Dinner start.
When is your wedding btw?

Hi carelinwen
You're welcome! I tried looking for the tune on the net but couldn't find it. I found the chords on this page though: http://www.nfphampden.com/thisday.pdf#search='scott%20wesley%20brown%20%20this%20is%20the%20day'
Another way is to go to a Christian music CD shops and see if you can find the album by Scott Wesley Brown.
Hi Elizabeth - sorry to hear of this last minute hiccup. If you don't mind me asking, which church is this?

Hi gals, Haven't been logging on much coz was very busy the past few days. Phew, it's friday now, so can relax a bit more...hehs.
Elizabeth, sorry to hear about the issue. Don't worry, things will turn out fine, yah? The Lord will provide. Important thing is to enjoy your day and thank HIM for everything. Not sure if you have mentioned in earlier posts, but when is your wedding day? My neighbour is getting married at St Teresa's too...this Sunday...hehheh...

Hi Annelisa,
Agree that the song "This is the day" is very nice. Your friend had an very unusual wedding march-in indeed.
