Hi Jess,
I think Chris is good cos she is open to my ideas and even suggested that I give her the pics that I want her to follow so that it is more custom made and for the first time in my life, I heard a quotation that didnt blow me to Planet Jupiter! Same goes for the table centrepieces, something nice costs only $8!!! As compared to many other places which I found out charge as much as $50-100! So if u want, get Best Florist. I know I will be, lor =)

Hi Mindy
The pastoral service executive told us that one couple has made a withdrawal. Although we do not fulfill the criteria, we can put in a special appeal which we did two weeks ago. We met up with pastor for a counselling session and it was approved on the spot!
Debbie! Yes, I got your email. I am so glad to be in touch with you. We can now keep in touch and encourage one another for the preparation!

hey Sharon:
will pray for you. i know how it feels after years of beauty disasters due to murphy's law and God's will. haha. 10 days should be enough for the cold sore to go away right? at least it's only trial makeup
you know, when on the actual day God gives you no hiccups, you would realise how blessed you are because pre-wedding, you have been through a lot (food poisoning, cold sore, yadda yadda). then you will thank Him more 
dear sisters:
as of today I am officially and exactly 1.5 years away from my wedding. AAAGGGGHHHHH. time really shoots past you like NOTHING okay... i have to call restaurant soon. gyaaaa! i'm swamped with projects somemore.
glad to see more and more sisters joining here! have a book to recommend to you all for all those preparing for wedding. it's about courtship, but it's really relevant to read even though you know you're 'secured' because you're gonna get married. it really does provide the preparation for marriage and the things to take note of.
Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship
by Joshua Harris
may be bought in Life Bookshop (around $20+ for new edition, around $19+ for old edition)
Summary extracted from back of cover:
Are you ready for "Romance with Purpose"?
If you're fed up with self-centered relationships that end in disillusionment, it's time to rethink romance. Finding the loving, committed relationship you want shouldn't mean throwing away your hopes, your integrity or your heart.
In 'Boy Meets Girl', Joshua Harris - the guy who kissed dating goodbye - makes the case for courtship. As old-fashioned as it might sound, courtship is what modern-day relationships desperately need. Think of it as romance chaperoned by wisdom, cared for by community, and directed by God's Word.
Filled with inspiring stores from men and women who have rediscovered courtship, 'Boy Meets Girl' is honest, romantic and refreshingly biblical. Keep God at the center of your relationship as you discover how to:
-Set a clear course for your romance
-Get closer without compromise
-Find support in a community
-Deal with past sexual sin
-Make the right decisions about your future
(end summary)
i got the new edition, which has eight ideas for dates that will help the couple grow and learn about each other. i particularly love the chapter about how to be sexually pure where Joshua Harris was talking about how he felt about his wife when they were four months away from the wedding. it inspired my boyfriend and i to follow what he and his then-fiancee did - list out a list of guidelines for dos and don'ts. it's all about being specific so you don't give sin a chance.
do consider this book!
i've gotta go. do take care, all of you. i'll still pop by regularly

Hi Sharon,
Do take care yah?
I tink the rest said wat I wanted to say. hehe..
May the Lord grant u speedy recovery.
U never noe.. maybe tis time is to teach u to trust Him & not get work up on wedding prep.
This is a lesson God constantly is teaching me too. hehe..
Hi Lydia,
thanks 4 ur bk recommendation.
I read the bk very long ago liao.. hehe..
when my FH & I started dating each other.
I must say it's a refreshing. Tho' many times, some of the struggles the author mentioned are so real & really tough to handle.
But I must say God is absolutely instrumental in helping us to keep on track with Him & His will.
Btw.. on the topics of bks, wondering if u gals have read Selwyn Hughes' "Marriage as God Intended".
It's a classic.
Do read it if u can.
U can even pass it on to ur daughters next time. hehe.. basic truths never go out of date

Sharon: Do not be down cast. Turn ur eyes to Jesus and take the Holy Comm. It brings to memory His finished work at the cross. All healing and deliverance from sickness and diseases thru His finished work. Healing is ur blood bought right. Claim it and walk in divine health. I had the same thing before my March hols and God showed me that one of the reasons why i was sick was also becas i held bitterness in my heart agst sm ppl in my life. Once i let go, i started recovering faster. Altho the doc said it will take 10 days for me to heal( she's also a christian), I remembered Pastor saying that it is not what man says which is final but what God declares and He wants us to proclaim His finished work agst the false symptoms e devil puts up to us. I did jus that. and do u know, i was healed in 3 days flat! All glory to Jesus! =) Jus sharing to encourage u sis. God has fought every battle on every flank for u and declared u a victor by His blood. Receive and rejoice, beloved. Will be praying with u.

hey ladies,
haven't been posting in here much lately, but still keeping up with what's going on. just wanted to share, my FH and i just completed our second session of marriage prep with our pastor. must say that it's really helpful in preparing us for what to expect. it doesn't solve all our issues, but it prepares us for things we don't even realise. think every couple should go for it as early as possible - wish i'd done it earlier; don't leave it till just before the wedding.
sharon, glad you're much better now! you'll be all ready and pretty.
lydia, you haven't been around much either! miss all your posts. hee... take care with all your school work, and don't stress about wedding planning if you're busy with school. that's more impt!
take care everyone!

Hi, just to enquire... my SO and I are planning for the venue to hold our solemnisation.... Assuming that the cost to rent a church is 500 bucks...
How much should I budget for the decorations and the catering for around 50 pax? anybody has experience to share?
Furthermore, is it true that churches only open for booking for non member christains only 3 months before the date?

Hi wedding_gal,
Ya.. haven't heard from u for some time already.
Great to hear abt ur marriage prep course progress.
It's amazing what kind of issues we may overlook as marriage approaches.
So it's a gd way to start considering many factors esp those issues from the past.
All the best!
Hi Sharon, Gd to hear u're getting much better!
God bless..

Hi Lydia,
it's fine to start marriage prep course earlier.
My church started a course which is like marriage prep but meant to also encourage those in courtship (leading to marriage)to attend.
Reason is that it'll help clarify the couples' viewpts on relationships etc.. therefore, prepare those who are heading into marriage.
And sometimes, it's oso a gd thing that those who emerge from the course halted their plans from marriage till they sort out their personal issues coz the course encourage personal reflections.
Yah. so go for it gal!

Prob most of aren't really sure about the cost...
those churches that i was interested in charged about $1000-$1500 for rental. eventually i decided to stick to my own church. as for openings for bookings, i would think it varies from church to church; you should find out from the churches you're interested in.
anyway, this is my budget:
deco: $500
catering: $10-12 per pax for a tea reception. if you're having a lunch reception, you should budget a bit more.
hope this helps...

yeah, i agree with jess on the marriage preparation. i think couples who have plans to get married some time in the future should go for it, helps them to work out various issues in the r/s and for some, maybe decide if marriage is the path they definitely want to take.
so lydia, go for it!

Hi Mindy,
I have to echo wedding_gal's recommendations.
My tea reception costs $10 per head.
I strongly suggest u go for a tea reception coz won't really burn ur pockets if u are having a traditional wedding dinner oso.
As for church rental,
Seldom do churches have rental at less than $1000 for non-members.
yah.. so shortlist then call to enquire abt the rental.
Budget for decor: $500 - $700 is reasonable.
But of coz take a look at ur venue.
If the chairs are not that nice, may have to budget in chair covers which can cost abt $12 each.
Mayb if u decided on a venue, post it here..
then maybe some of us can help in giving u a realistic costings & other suggestions

But alot of people give according to "asupicious" amount, like $28, $38 etc..

Wooo~~~ So excited! I confirmed my gown yesterday and went for my trial make-up! FH and best man were also there yesterday to fit their coats. Then my two co-chief bridesmaids also picked out their dresses--very funny, because they didn't realise it was their turn to go try on the clothes, so when they found out, they literally went ga ga over the dresses! LOL but they found super-nice dresses and I can't wait to see them on the actual day! Picked my bouquet too, it's a rose bouquet... Yay!!!! And passed out some invites already... and wedding_girl, I changed my wedding gown to another one! I didn't get pics, though, cuz I loaned mine out to a friend for his trip to Paris =(
Everyday my wedding is just getting more and more real...can't believe it's actually happening, and it's really less than two months away. So many things to do still-- I've just started training my wedding choir for the music and some of them can't make it for many rehearsals... But thank God they're picking up the music so well! And everything is more or less smooth, except the dinner. I know I'm babbling, but I'm really just so excited over it now! *sigh* GOSH...just last year I was thinking to myself, wow, it's still so far away, but now it's almost here!

Hi Sharon,
Yah! U really make everything sounds so exciting! hehe..
All the best.. don't fret! Enjoy this process..
Do share as and when u're free yah?
God bless..
Hi cherry07,
Sorry I have no idea in regards to ur church.
I think $300 for church decor budget is fine if u intend to decorate some stuff urself.
More realistic figure will be $500 if u getting professional help.
Hope tis helps

hey sharon
glad to see you're so excited. it's a good thing! congratulations!
for all sisters, some updates on my wedding prep. WE HAVE MADE GOOD PROGRESS.
last week FH told me that his mom mentioned about our new home - she will help us out with the downpayment if we need it. thank God for that. so FH, with this new assistance and confidence, set out looking at information at HDB.
on tuesday on our way home from prayer meeting, i asked him when are we going to the HDB branch to enquire about the flats in the area. (this was decided on advice from my mom's friend who works in the property industry.) he said right after his posting is out then we go and see, now don't talk about it first. 'posting' here means the school he's posted to. he's finishing up in NIE and getting posted to his permanent school after june holidays.
that very night, he smsed me that the posting was out. suddenly i was SO EXCITED because it's as if, wah, permanent posting!!! confirm he's going to start on this career! my boyfriend is a teacher, no more student!!! HE'S WORKING! HE GOT A JOB! (even though you get paid in NIE, i hadn't really developed a perception that it was work.) hahahha i over-react a lot lah. anyway, we immediately talked about where we wanna stay, when we're going to HDB, available bus routes from our choice place to his school... then at night i was too excited, didn't fall asleep till after 1. hahaha.
really thank God for everything
my wedding is less than 18 months away~ it's time to get down to work. food tasting and pre-marital counselling in june! have one year to lose weight because the photoshoot is one year away~~~~ ahhhh. this is so exciting. sharon, i can somewhat understand!

on tuesday on our way home from prayer meeting, i asked him when are we going to the HDB branch to enquire about the flats in the area. (this was decided on advice from my mom's friend who works in the property industry.) he said right after his posting is out then we go and see, now don't talk about it first. 'posting' here means the school he's posted to. he's finishing up in NIE and getting posted to his permanent school after june holidays.
that very night, he smsed me that the posting was out. suddenly i was SO EXCITED because it's as if, wah, permanent posting!!! confirm he's going to start on this career! my boyfriend is a teacher, no more student!!! HE'S WORKING! HE GOT A JOB! (even though you get paid in NIE, i hadn't really developed a perception that it was work.) hahahha i over-react a lot lah. anyway, we immediately talked about where we wanna stay, when we're going to HDB, available bus routes from our choice place to his school... then at night i was too excited, didn't fall asleep till after 1. hahaha.
really thank God for everything

hey twinkle and wedding_girl:
ahhhh it's great to be excited, somehow. ehehehe. makes you more motivated to get through the day with a cheerful heart instead of slogging through the dreary work that life deals you.
my computer is a bit crazy... i'll post another day when it's not lagging! by the way today we walked to our choice estate and surveyed the area. it's my grandma's hdb estate actually... 7 minutes away from my place. very nice place to live in. ahhh. will pray that there will be an available, pocket-friendly flat! please keep us in prayer
thanks, sisters.

wow - so near your home! that's great. same as what i did. and it's near his family church so best of both worlds.
roughly which area are you eyeing, Lydia? Depends on how 'hot' the area is also, when considering whether there'll be a flat that doesn't ask for too much above valuation.
