haha, ya lor, u cn be the professional baby sitter in CC!! haha..

kef> actually b4 30yo have bb better.. aft 30yo, our biological clock slows down ALOT so might b a bit more difficult to get pregnant.. then aft 35yo we become listed as high risk mothers, n higher risk of bb getting genetic problems..

CH> ya lor, take precautions! but then again hor, precaution also nt 100% one hor.. even condom also only dare to claim 99%.. haha, to save their own ass in case anybody kenna accident n want to sue them.. so dun become the rare 1% hor.. heehee..

Alicia> catering at hme n at church different de meh? isnt it also setting up the tables, bring the food n utensils, aft finish makan liao they come n clear?..

think i got the hardcopy letter abt 1wk aft i saw the appt date online.. so may u n kef will get the letter next wk bah..
 
yanting> Ya lor.. Buffet in church got wedding package de. For church buffet usually caterer will provide VIP table (max ard 6 seater), den got color theme, flower arrangement at every station, separate station for food & drink/dessert, some provide arch, den some oso provide service staff in attendace.
 
alicia> oh.... understand liao.. abit more sophisticated compared to normal caterer.. nw that u said it, i do remember something like that when i attended my frens' church wedding.. heehee..
 
alicia> like that quite expensive lei. you wanna try asking purple sage? heard their food is also good but they are confirm expensive.

Bad thing about neo garden is that their utensils is just nice one, say 40 pax means 40 pax nia. if you want more, you better tell them or prepare yourself.

yanting> not really that all guys wanna chop chop fast fast finish lar. like how some had identified, it can get very boring if do whole day. SG very small, no need to do whole day one.

I got secret for why should be doing luncheon... it's an evil plan. ho ho ho!

CH> planning is good. some people leave it to God but before leaving to God, also must plan when to start also. so think think abit lor. I not any younger also.

Ok, allow me to continue selling the luncheon idea.

Benefits of Luncheon:
1. no waiting time in between tea ceremony and banquet

for girls, it's good for your skin and overall wellness, lesser make up hours clocked on your skin as well as hair products.

2. cheaper than dinner

3. no need cater lunch after tea ceremony (usually will go to waste unless you live in big big house. if small HDB, don't waste time. most relatives done with the ceremony, wanna zao liao because it is really crowded and HOT!)

I give you an idea of how swee swee it can be.

8 am - 8:45 am Pick up bride, play the open door game

8:45 am - 9:15 am Travel to groom's place

9:15 am - 10:15 am Tea ceremony

10:15 am - 10:45 am Return to Bride's place

10:45 am - 11:45 am Tea Ceremony

11:45 am - 12:15 pm Travel to banquet Location

12:15 pm - 12:45 pm Change and touch up the make up

12:45 pm - 1:15 pm Solemnization (serve small lunch cocktail for other guests waiting)

1:30 pm - 3:30 pm 6 course lunch plus some entertainment

Finish the day!

you see the timetable you will know my evil plan liao.

Maybe i'm a bad host but i feel that at wedding banquets, people generally overeat and waste a lot of food. I care for my guests. I want to make sure they have a filling meal but not overeat.
 
Thanks all , i will give my son Xavier a kiss on his cheek & say is given by auntie/uncle from future CC neighbours LoL ....

Yup having a baby in spore expenses is so high but still got to have one if not how & yes better before 35 if best is to before 30 coz wont be so tiring after that ...

Wahahahahaha if u all can wait for us to move in to CC then have kids i dont mind to be babysitter ...

Ryan really plan swee swee ... that time i also have wedding lunch
happy.gif
 
wow.. ryan.. ur timetable is juz for small families..

feel tat is really too rushy liao..

45mins is nt enough for gate crashing as fetching ur bride.. some small ceremony in the bride hse before u take her to ur hse..and photo takings..

shld b mre realistic in planning and give buffer in between..

mayb both ur families are small thats y 1 hr for tea ceremony at each plc is enough.. bt nt so for bigger families who hv alot of relatives.. 1hr nt enough for photo takings and tea ceremony.. i think most relatives wouldnt leave the bridal hse so early and straightaway after tea ceremony 1.. some dun even wana leave after the ceremony..

bridal changing and touch up takes mre than 30mins.. juz imagine.. my rom gown, i took abt 15mins to get dress.. is nt as easy and simple as u think lor.. gona get dress up and mk sure no expose lobang.. and wana look swee swee.. is nt so fast lor..

too rushy for tat day.. is nt tat good.. is UR big day.. so both shld enjoy and nt rush thru the whole process.. anyway, tats my point of view lah..

wah.. u sound abit 'han suan' leh.. u knw.. few guy friends of mine... gana screw by their MILs even they throw wedding banquet.. their MILs says plc nt classy enough lah.. nt nice enough lah.. so juz once a lifetime business.. juz do swee swee.. so tat ur future MIL would use tat to bother u for life..

jzu my thoughts.. those went thru.. or follow friends or relatives wedding before shld understand wat i mean..
 
CH> i think ryan's evil plan ties with the making of his BB also lo...haha...for those doing evening banquet what I see some of my FEW friends do is...they went to take more photos lo...but usually by evening time quite tired le...cuz sweat and all that den the sun so blazing hot...but i think for huge families usually tea ceremony can take v long le...so by then after a small lunch buffet also not much free time left le...can go to the hotel n rest abit prepare abit...

Ah Kiam> ON le..i shall engage you as babysitter le...I will wait till I move in CC den have BB one...hahah...pls charge me at a friendly neighbour rate hor...

Ting> if my bf see ur b4 30 have bb sentence...he will sure use it against me again lo...tell me all the reasons we shud have bb asap...
 
CH> Although relatives a lot, but not all will go for the tea ceremony, coz some mite tink it's too far or wat, some dun 1 2 gif additional AP, some wants to be served tea b4 ur banquet, etc. My relatives oso a lot, but tink non will come for the tea ceremony, we will arrange another timing before dinner starts for those who 1 us to serve tea to but din turn up in the morning.

ah kiam> Happy bdae to ur lovely boy! =)
 
haha.. well.. at least mayb for my case.. all my parents siblings will surely turn up for our tea ceremony.. my mum's relatives are in msia.. bt they still take the trouble to come dwn for this session.. is a respect towards them.. therefore, i think this is rather impt lor..my father's siblings even better.. my rom is a wed.. they even took leave to attend.. they are so eager to see us gets marry.. is juz like they are marrying their own daughter.. then again, is the bond betw one another lor..and those who really cant mk it.. serve before banquet starts is also a good option..

my hubby side also the same.. can imgine both our hse will b pack with ppl during our AD.. we both fm big families.. and use to getting together as a big group frequently.. therefore, to us, is 're nao' and nt a choas.. haha.. :p

tats my personal opinion lah..
happy.gif
 
ryan> actually it doesnt matter how long the makeup and hair products stay on your face/ hair, as long as u use lousy makeup n hair products then its equally damaging no matter its 5min or 5hrs..

n hor, relatives may nt leave immediately aft tea ceremony wor.. that time my bro's wedding tea ceremony is abt 10++, n there were relatives n frens at my hse until 4++ leh.. juz b4 we leave for the hotel again..

i agree with CH too.. your time planning is for perfect scenario.. i think my family nt that big, in singapore only got my mother's side of relatives, and the tea ceremony took more than 1hr liao.. n there is other things that u got to take into consideration, like phototaking which definitely takes a lot of time, and also wats the auspicious timing.. if its at 10am type huh, then the plan cannot work liao.. for eg like my bro's wedding, the auspicious timing is the bride muz step into my hse b4 7am, but we cant expect relatives to reach so early.. so tea ceremony planned to b 10+, in between they eat the mian xian n do other customary stuff like on the bedside lights n stuff.. then take a quick rest til 10+ then start tea ceremony.. abt noon they go back to bride's place for tea ceremony.. then relatives n frens hang ard at my hse until abt 4++, my bro n sis-in-law left for hotel 1st, while we do some clearing up aft relatives leave then we go to hotel abt 5+.. n ya, i remember my sis-in-law took more than 30min to change out of her gown b4 going to her side..

heehee, but i do agree with your 6 course meal plan though.. haha, wedding lunch/ dinners alwaz overeat de.. n super over loaded on protein.. shd have more veg to make it more balance..

ah kiam> sure or not! i sure gonna wait til i move to CC u know.. cos i only intend to have my AD aft my hse is ready ma.. hahah.. i also want friendly neighbour rate hor!!!

kef> haha, then dun let your bf log in here if u dun want him to see this line lor.. wahaha.. other than physiological reason, i think its financial reason.. u see huh, if u only have bb at 30yo, meaning by the time he going to uni, u will b abt 50yo liao.. i dunno how much uni fees going to b like 20yrs later, lets say abt $40k.. then fr 50-65yo b4 you retire, how much time do u have to save up for your retirement?? *sweat* n this calculation is based on 1 kid only.. imagine if u have >1 kid... *super sweat*

i dunno abt the rest of u la, but i feel that if possible i would want to pay fully my kids' education.. cos huh, even if use cpf to pay, they still have to pay back, meaning they will b in debt even b4 they step out into the society to work..

alicia> wa, if u tell your relatives got separate session for tea ceremony b4 dinner, will they all squeeze during that time? will it cause more messiness for u? cos hor, if u inviting alot of pple for dinner, will b very hectic in the 1hr b4 dinner.. signing in the guests n entertaining them.. my sis n i did reception for my bro, ended up we gotta grab him over many times, cos we dunno some of his frens, n how he identified them in his list.. so thats 1 thing to note too..
 
yanting> Nope, coz if they come for the earlier tea ceremony, tat will be after my church buffet lunch. I noe most of my relatives & mayb part of hub's relatives wont be gg for the church wedding. Those relatives who went for our church wedding will be served tea after the buffet lunch, whereas those who does not 1 2 go for the church wedding, we can arrange for a separate tea ceremony b4 dinner starts.
 
CH> yea quite rushy but we are considering on the issue where got a large chunk of free time between lunch to dinner banquet especially for those who are not doing church wedding.

Alternative is to start early, after luncheon then go back to bride's house for the 2nd round tea ceremony. Or the 1st round tea ceremony can do at the banquet venue. no need to rush so many places.

As for the "han suan" part, i think it usually happens if the groom never discuss with their MILs about it bah. all these things should have been sorted out before booking the banquet and such.

For me, it is my proposal to do it in that manner lar, i have spoke a little with my future Parents In Law liao. They suggested that i should do within my means and also avoid food wastage. To me, i'd rather the chef focus and gimme good quality food rather than quantity.

My further plan is when selecting venue, i confirm + chop will bring my folks, my future-in-laws to view, do survey and confirm the choice location. must cover myself from getting screwed. heh.

Kef>my evil plan is not completely on the bb part though but partially only. heh. the plan is to cut short the fetch bride timing, reserve the time to do the most highest priorities traditional customary rites such as parents veiling the bride, me unveiling the bride, take the sweet soup etc. :D it should be obvious liao!

ultimately, there is no hard and fast rule or a fixed time schedule usable for everyone as every couple is different. what works for 1 couple need not necessary works for the other.

this is my rough plan, i think along the way, a lot of things will have to change.

Maybe need to do a trial run of how much time it takes to switch from outfit to outfit. lol
 
ryan> i got your evil plan liao!!! u want to shorten the time for the sisters to tekan u!!! eek, evil! my bf also said next time he will reach 30min b4 targetted time to leave my hse, so that my frens have less than 30min to tekan him.. then i told him i will b angry if he do that.. i think there's nothing wrong to have some fun, as long as they dun overdo things la.. haha..

wa, trial run ah.. sounds like full-dress rehearsal like that.. haha..
 
CH> hahahaha! Not i side him lah, he said he dun 1. And oso bcoz we gotta reach church by 10.30am, ceremony starts at 11am. So we gotta leave hse ard 10am liao. Dun 1 us 2 wake up so early. hehe!
 
oh.. ur hubby must b Sooooooo hapi.. haha.. :p

u rom already rite.. usually my christian friends hv their solemnisation together with their customary together in church.. so urs is 2 diff affair huh..
 
CH> Ya lor... lol~ Ya, i ROM-ed alr. Yes, 2 different days. I find tat if solemnisation & customary together in church, i tink timing-wise will drag, coz my church preachers not licensed solemniser, so will need to find JP to go church. So "leh-chey" mah! lol~
 
Haiz that time i also get JP for my wedding .... hahahaha almost late for my lunch so paiseh .... my parents also late heng i ask my best fren to be my witness if not siaoo liaoo ....
 
alicia> your hubby is so lucky.

yanting> you must know his threshold hor. don't let your friends go overboard.

for me, i told my WTB liao, i got weak stomach, make sure they don't do some weird concoction for me to eat. if not, she can go through everything herself on that day while i solemnize with the toilet bowl.
 
ah kiam> Wah! U muz be so nervious tat time!

ryan> hahaha! ya lor.. lucky boy! And i keep telling him he's so lucky. =P

I jus received the letter for AOL le.
 
just an update, there is no works yet at the site as of today.

Alicia> they also know how to waste paper. send 2 separate letters to tell me that the Option fee will be banked into my acct.
 
ah kiam> how come your parents late for their own daughter's wedding de?..

ryan> dun worry, i will vet thrgh wat my fren going to play 1st.. haha.. i also dun want him to suffer too much ma..
 
haha.. my hubby also hv weak stomach.. anyway, me find tat those sisters saboh with food abit 'childish' lor.. wat if the groom cannot take it, then the whole day really gota spend the time looking for toilet then cham liao..

lucky for us.. every1 comes in time for our solemnisation.. my JP also arrive v punctually.. so everything is v v smooth.. still cant imagine im marry nw..haha.. :p

this thur, we are gng to sign the AOL lor..hehe.. :p

finally is our time to sign.. yah, nme too went past CC site.. so nothing done yet..haiz.. wonder when they gona start wrk...
 
Alicia> nope not yet in my acct. They just send 2 letters to tell me it is going to be in my acct. (letters are sent separately)
 
CH> Lucky for u tat ur ROM went smoothly. =)

Ryan> hahaha! Mayb they intend to send the other letter to another person, but dunno y the system generate ur add again? lol~
 
yanting> hahah! Coz my sis flying off to dubai wif her hub after their wedding on 14th, & my original appt is 13th, so mite as well change my appt to 14th den take whole day leave, so can send my sis off & den go for appt.
 
wow.. go dubai.. so far..

yah.. is very lucky and bless tat our rom went smoothly.. me gng to sign our AOL this thurs.. yippee... hehe. .:p

bt seems like the plot of land still the same leh.. wonder when then will start wrk on tat land..
 
CH> most likely after everyone signed AOL.

I thought it would make sense for them to bring in the piling machines. Or worst still, they are waiting for that 1st quarter 2010 project to finish before they start work!

I pity those who bought that place though. their 1st 3 years of staying there is gonna be so dusty.

Alicia> nope, it's letter with 2 slightly different content but both are on the same topic on returning the option fee.
 
Alicia> i think u better order Neo garden or other catering , the one i order food taste alright only ... haiz i order too much liao ... hubby lor say 30pax not enough then i order 40pax zzzzz now still left alot coz we pack and put in fridge.

Ryan> i also think next year then will start building ..

Yanting> yup im so nervous that time until almost late for my ROM hahaha, my parents late coz my mum sandals spolit so she u-turn back and change lor .. luckily the restaurant nearby my house only
happy.gif
 
ah kiam> Oic... such a waste! I shld be most prob trying out mum's kitchen, but not cfm yet now wor~ Still waiting for MIL to gif the green light.
 


i dunno abt you all but for me ar, if place cramp, unless i am damn hungry, if not i will not touch the buffet food.

somemore in front of "strangers", also don't dare to take much. i will just eat a little bit and then later go kopitiam or somewhere else to settle proper meals.

i find standing, trying to balance a plate in hand, eating and talking to pple is quite xiong especially eat beehoon or rice!

i might just go the ang moh style, sandwiches or something that is more "finger food" yet filling.
