i dunno leh...they got put * there say the amount maybe not confirmed..subjected to changes or what...anyway where will need to loan so much de...2k plus my bf and my cpf oso nv contribute so much lo...i dunno how they count sia
 
ok.. the amt stated there is the full amt for ur flat isit?? wow.. nv hear tat mthly gota pay 2k+ for a 200+k flat leh.. tat too kwa chang liao..hehe.. :p
 
loan more loan longer is you jialat lei.

seems like PS overseas is very expensive like that. maybe have to relook.

Just wanna know, what is a reasonable amt to spend with the BS?

CH> propose first bah... ROM will wait probably a while. I was hoping to do ROM together with AD though because we don't have church wedding.

I dunno what to do with that empty time after the tekan session for open the door, then customary tea ceremony. My family and hers quite small, should be chop chop currypok by 3 hours max finish the tea ceremony.

no intention to do a video montage for that day also. intend to start on time zhun zhun 7 pm so can finish up by latest 10 pm. Everyone can go home early and rest.

We don't intend to make it really big so should be able to do so and also might not wanna go for a wasteful 8-10 course dinner. Just go for quality instead of quantity bah.
 
wow.. so Ryan has everyting plan woh.. hw and when u wana propose?? hehe.. :p

she sure say yes 1 lah... coz already 'sign' an agreement with u in HDB liao mah..haha.. :p

actually signing hdb is kinda similar to signing the rom cert lor.. i mean reason behind the 2 signing is the same lor.. means agree to stay with u and be with u liao lor..

chop chop go n propose lah.. heehee.. :p
 
Ryan> BS package price, depends on wat u looking at. There's package from $2K+ all the way to even $4k+ or even more. I've ever heard 1 forumer who's trying to sell off her package previously, her BS is i tink Taiwan de, gg overseas PS, the package she signed costs $9999 or $8888!
 
Alicia> wah kao.

that is madness. almost $10k just for BS package.

CH> told you secret liao mah... i cannot post here. she will read one. :P

yeap i told her the same thing that day when we signed the documents. still give her evil laughter somemore and say "you cannot run liao"
 
ryan> i think it really depends on wat u want in the BS package and how much u willing to spend.. average i hear pple spend abt $4k-5k.. but max i have heard is $8k.. like for myself, im trying nt to spend more than $4.5k for BS la..
as for wat to do aft open door and tea ceremony, that will also depend on how early is your open door.. like for my bro's case, the bride gotta come thrgh our door b4 7am!! but nt logical to have tea ceremony immediately cos too early for relatives to come la.. so everyone take the chance to rest awhile lor.. then muz consider aft tea ceremony at your place, muz go back bride's place for tea ceremony too.. thats if u r the traditional type la.. i wouldnt want to plan everything back to back, will b very tiring.. gd to have some breathing time in between..

CH> ya lor, my fren also say sign for flat = cfm marry him liao..
sad.gif
scully he dun propose properlly how..
 
ryan> my bf said exactly the same thing on the day we signed the documents at hdb too!! wa, evil planning fr the guys.. haha..
 
Ryan> Ya lor... I oso dunno wat's in her package, but i feel it too ex liao, if i've got tis kind of amt to spend, i'll rather spend on banquet & hse rather than BS. lol...
 
Alicia> same thinking. I am looking at spending around $3k-4K on BS. But if going for PS overseas, it's more like vacation plus PS.

My thinking is complete the PS in 3 days then have 3 days to tour around the places. So must plan properly on the locations to do the shoot and of course must be blessed with good weather.

yanting> good point there. moreover logistics to do both on the same day will be a bit xiong. i think i will scrap the idea and do it on 2 separate days then.

maybe a good surprise is to propose and get solemnizer stand by to do the ROM procedure immediately also. she confirm will skin me alive if i do that.
 
Ryan> Ya, for overseas PS, really gotta plan sui sui. As for doing ROM & AD same day, nowadays most ppl do it. Actually i dun find it xiong, coz solemnisation is jus abt half hr earlier b4 dinner. Wat i've seen so far for ROM & AD together, there're 2 scenarios:

1. Invitation states dinner starts at 7.30pm. Ur solemnisation starts at 7pm. (this is a closed solemnisation, meaning onli ppl u invited for solemnisation will attend, & usually will be held in a small room)
2. Invitation states dinner starts at 7.30pm. Ur solemnisation starts at 7.45 or 8pm. (this solemnisation timing will be oso printed on invitation cards, so tat guests will be seated by 7.45pm, den close ballroom doors & solemnisation starts, followed by 1st course straight after.

U cant do tat surprise, coz u need to efile ur date of solemnisation wif registry, earliest to file is 3 mths b4 date of solemnisation or latest 21 days b4 date of solemnisation. Details of bride, groom, 2 witnesses above age 21 will be needed to efile wif registry, so cant haf a surprise attack. For registration outside registry, u need to book a JP (Justice of Peace or Solemniser), their details like name & their JP no. is oso required wen efiling to registry.
 
alicia> i think its cos i think its super unlikely that i will invite anyone for my solemnisation.. cos i alwaz think its a small affair, so shd juz b attended by my immediate family members.. dun even know whether i want to ask my best frens.. so it doesnt really matter whether its on 2 separate days..

ryan> haha, its a gd idea, but too bad nt feasible.. haha..
 
yanting> Actually i find tat doing both on the same day will be less troublesome for parents, coz they no need to attend twice (once for ROM, once for AD). But it all depends on individuals lah. =)
 
i think all guys said the same...my bf oso joke said no need propose le...fixed le cuz sign papers le...

10k for BS is way too much...i think normall is 3k to 4k...

I heard my friends do same day...for them abit rush den tired but less troublesome...cuz no need plan so many events...all one shot do...
 
alicia> but parents surely will attend both ROM n AD one ma.. i will be so upset if my parents cant come for either day.. but u r rite la, its really individual preference.. actually my bf prefers it to b on the same day.. i dun really mind if the timing nt too packed.. cos i see my bro's wedding huh, i felt lucky his is 2 separate days.. morning 3am wake up to prepare, 4+am leave the hse to fetch bride, reach back hme with bride b4 7am, tea ceremony at 10am, relatives n frens ding dong at our hse til abt 4pm then almost time to go hotel for dinner liao.. *shagged*
 
Kef> Ya, normal BS shld be within tat budget, depends on MTM or OTR gowns, albums & any overseas PS. Yes, less troublesome to do both on same day, actually i find it's not rush to do both on same day, jus tat bride cant change lah, they will haf to wear WG for solemnisation to 1st march-in. If bride 1 2 change, den mayb changing part is a bit rush. For me, i cant do both same day coz i got church wedding. Hence i ROM-ed 1st, den next yr will be my church wedding & AD.
 
yanting> Ya, of coz parents will attend both ceremony, jus tat if u tink for them, they mite become tired physically coz haf to attend both times. If do both same day, den one shot through mah. Actually both same day, solemnisation onli takes up abt half an hr, very fast de, so y ur bro need to wake up so early & fetch bride? For my sis, coz she dun haf church wedding, she'll be doing both on same day. She'll ask her husband to fetch her ard 11am, den gate-crashing, den will go straight to hotel le. As for tea ceremony, she'll be doing it before solemnisation & dinner at hotel, coz her future SIL is preggy, so old ppl say dun clash, so she cant go her future SIL's hse for the tea ceremony.
 
Hahahaha both side all cannot run is so tiring somemore the night before sure cannot sleep one
happy.gif
.... i pass all these stage now ... now everyday counting down for my CC start building ..... sian ....
 
So now im waiting to congrats all of u lor ... whoever hubby dare to bully anyone of u let me know i whack him hahahaha ... sorry Ryan , u must intro yr wife to me so if u bully her i can help her LOLssssssssss ......
 
alicia> my bro's ROM is on separate day. he gotta wake up so early to fetch bride is cos the bride needs to reach our hse b4 7am.. so he left the hse abt 5am to fetch bride lor..

ah kiam> u so funny la!!! i imagine u running all over the blocks to whack those naughty husbands!! :P
 
alicia> neither.. haha.. im hokkien.. timing is advised by shifu.. so i pray hard next time mine wont b so early lor.. if nt my jie meis also very jialat..
 
yanting> Oic... haha! For me & my sis, we r christians (but not our parents), so we din ask any shifu at all, plannings all done by ourselves.
 
I cant even sleep b4 the day hahaha .... by the time the groom come i feel sleepy LOLssssssss ... imagine still must smile all the way until afternoon then can have some rest ... then night for the dinner .... Torture lor ......

i just scared i overslept for AD.

lol weird lei. i know tea ceremony can be quite late like 10 am. Serve tea, eat the auspicious stuff. then off to bride's place serve tea.

Just to check, is it supposed that on that day, both bride and groom's place must have something like a mini buffet or something like this to fill everyone up before the dinner? the no. of pax is like too little for buffet and too much to ownself prepare sia.

Just called HDB, hai... need to have valid HLE to sign the agreement of lease. I think i better go reapply again soon.
 
ryan> I tink no need to order food, but usually groom & bride will prepare some small refreshments lah, coz afterall, u ask ur relatives to go ur hse early for tea ceremony mah, so muz sort-of take care of their meal? For me, most prob my tea ceremony will be at the hse beside my church, and it will be after buffet lunch in church, hence no need to order anyting else.
 
ryan.. when ur HLE expired??

think by the time it expire, think hdb will invite us ov to sign agreement of lease liao lah..

hope 3 room and SA selection can finish fast..hehe..
 


Huh ... Ryan if not yet expire can reapply ? alamak u better do it fast if not siao ... must wait for so long again ....
