Christian Brides

Not neccesarily.. I am going to play jazz, like timminbuzz.. but i think someone in this thread was sharing b4, that their pastor gave instructions that only approved christian music be played. U can check the archives for that..

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this thread... have been reading it on and off, and didn't really feel like I had something to contribute until I read about the discussion on helpers and which church to get married in. I guess most of us will be in the same situation of choosing churches, unless you are both from the same church... my fiance and I have been attending each other's cell groups for about a year now, so we know each side quite well.

We are still discussing on where to have the wedding. I prefer my church for sentimental reasons as well as because it has a longer aisle to walk down. Hee. Both churches can seat about the same (450-500) and parking is tight in both, so to main difference is that my church has a tarpaulin area for reception, but his church has a whole 'void deck' area where people can sit in tables. The other thing is that my church sanctuary is on ground floor whereas his is on the 4th floor, accessible by one (quite slow) lift or stairs!

I think once we settle on the church then the helpers will follow accordingly. i.e. if it's in my church then my cell group will take a more active role in helping, after all, we've married off 2 couples in our group already.

For banquet music, I think I'm going to use a mix of music. Actually, even for church ceremony I don't think only christian music can be used. For instance for the re-entry it need not be christian. But I think most of my music in the church service will be Christian and most of my music at the banquet will not be explicitly christian.

Something else to contribute - I just finished reading this book called "His needs, Her needs" by William Halley. It's very good marriage prep material, and important in this day and age when hard work is needed to make a marriage lasting and beautiful!

Sorry for the long post!

Hello everyone!! I am new to this thread. Getting married in Oct this year and getting very stress. Started prep quite late. Really appreciative of Mehmeh's effort in compiling the list. I am currently looking for caterer and have found the above information to be very helpful.
Need advise - will S$10 budget for church reception be ok? Or should it be more? Any any recommendations for church deco?

sandsand · May 29, 2006

hi guys... I'm back but under a diff nick (just add another (S) to the back of ribbon.. long story why.. =) important thing is that i'm back to join in discussions..

weddinstory · May 29, 2006

hi anyone wore your wedding bands for your pre wedding shoot? cos my weddin shoot is few weeks later and i m thinking if i shd buy my wedding bands real soon.

sandsand · May 29, 2006

I wore my wedding bands to my PS last last week..
Initially when he suggested it, i was fine with wearing just mt engagement ring..

but we bought ours for the PS, and i have no regrets..

If u dont wanna rush into things, maybe u can buy like, silver rings.. from perlini's silver that kind of couple rings and wear for PS lor.. no one will be able to tell anyway..

but now GSS got some sales on wedding bands..

wyy · May 29, 2006

i wore mine for PS too.

weddinstory · May 29, 2006

mehmeh_lim · May 29, 2006

hihi Coco,

Happened to be at keyboard tt day

Have noted & will update when some other updates come along

hihi Kai,

Join us here more regularly k?

hi h2b2b2,

*welcome* $10 for tea recep sounds quite decent. $12 can get u a better spread. Generally most caterers have a range starting fr $8-15.
If it's lunch recep, then the price wld go up a little

Want to share where is the church venue? If it's ur own church, some times they may have this regular group of ladies who wld do up deco for Sunday services. Otherwise u can consider June florist, which I've heard gd reviews of. Do avoid Steffi's, had a bad experience with them

Some sisters here had used Secret Garden, beautiful & lush, a choice to consider too

hihi Ribbons,

I kinda know what happened, though i suspect it was a mis-understanding of ur intentions

*hugs* But we def can recognize u!

hihi Weddin,

I din quite want to wear the bands coz our solemnization was at the church wedding itself, not a prior ROM. So i wanted to reserve them till only the wedding

It's ur personal preference

Though I must say the option of getting Perlini's is a gd idea! heheh, at least u dun rush into buying a pair, or a pair tt doesn't fit well

sandsand · May 29, 2006

in addition to what mehmeh said.. If you are not really to let the actual rings be seen before the wedding and dont wanna wear for PS, you might go to jewellers with the intention of buying just for PS.. and you may end up with a not so good deal (you may either not like it that much or too ex.)

but its ur choice lah.... =) Perlini's silver should have sales also right? =)

weddinstory · May 29, 2006

hi sisters,
anyone bought a private condo here? i need advice

lilic · May 30, 2006

hi weddin, maybe i can help. shoot your questions here?

weddinstory · May 30, 2006

Hi pandalic and all sis,
im v stressed with buying a house. getting married soon but hvnt get aplace yet. the total income of my htb and myself exceeded 10k so we are only to elgible to get a resale (no grant), a private condo or a resale ec.went to see several resale but we din like them. For Private condo we keep worrying tht we might hv prob paying if one day one of us is not working cos we try to work/live on one income. my htb also does not want to take too big or long a loan. we hv been hving lots of unhappiness on what to get.now it seems like i m a unhappy bride. no place of our own after our wedding. i dun like the idea of staying with parents temporarily.im afraid of unnecessary conflicts. i m basically confused.please advice.

pandalic, how much (cpf plus cash) did u pay for
downpayment for your place?

weddinstory · May 30, 2006

and to all sis, how much do you all hv to pay for your flat/hose/apartment monthly and over how many years?

sorry this question a bit personal.

lilic · May 30, 2006

weddin, it depends on wat you are looking for in your lovenest..

you and your htb must agree on the budget you both are willing to pay for your lovenest, be in a condo, resale hdb or resale ec...

the budget should be made up of the downpayment you both can afford presently (10% cash and 10% cpf or 5%-5% under the new scheme) and the loan you both intend to undertake going forward.. for the latter, you can estimate the length of loan, interest rate and the monthly payment you both are willing to fork out.. and work backwards to compute the loan.. hope i am not too confusing here..

with the budget, identify the options that you can have.. based on the preferred choice, you start on your housing search.. of coz, there are also qualitative reasons.. but since your concern is abt cash/loan, lets skipped that..

in my case, we end up choosing a tiny-weeny 2 br freehold condo unit.. coz we bought when ppty mkt, the numbers look sensible to us.. our condo in the east coast costs only abt 100k more than a resale 5rm flat in tiong bahru and abt 50k more than the new big and spacious 3/4br unit in the EC in choa chu kang then..

we paid in excess of 55k in cash for downpayment. we are on deferred payment scheme so cpf is not touched yet currently.

housing loan is usually stretched to the maximum period.. 80% of purchase price at 35 years.. but having said that, depending on your budget, you can take a lower loan amount and make prepayments every now and then to reduce the loan duration..

in my case, our monthly loan repayments are kept below the cpf oa contributions. that was possible partly bcoz we will not be taking a 80% loan and bcoz of a very favourable loan we secured during the ppty dip.. i am not sure if such still applies in today's market.

i have another fren who manage to get hdb's approval to waive the income ceiling for purchase of the new EC in woodlands.. maybe you can try that? her finacials are pretty much like mine as above..

pray for God's wisdom as you both embark on this issue. ps 23 - the Lord is your shephard, you shall not want.. He will provide you with more than enough.. just to share with you, we are paying for the house and wedding by ourselves without parental help.. we started the prepa early last year.. since then, God has never failed to make sure that we have more than enough finances.. we literally spurge on the wedding.. sometimes when i look back, i still wonder where the money comes from..

my place may not be ready before my wedding.. like you, i dun like the idea of staying with parents.. so we have been praying.. guess wat, my fiance will be posted to hk for 6mths-1yr after the wedding.. kekeke, that solves the housing issue.. God knows better.. so relax and let God take care of your troubles!

wlchoong · May 30, 2006

Hi Pandalic,

May i know that the 10% downpayment is applicable to new HDB flats? will the new flats have the grant of $30k?

Thank you and Blessed day!

lilic · May 30, 2006

micar - hdb have the downpayment requirements too.. nope, new flat prices are already after subsidisies.. so no 30k grant.

count · May 30, 2006

Hi Pandalic,
Thanks for the reminder tt God knows better and would take care of our troubles. Been feeling quite troubled the past wks cos our flat is not ready and the tot of moving in with ILs gets scarier as AD draws near. Sometimes i wonder if i can fit into FH's family and get used to their way of life and doing things. Ur sharing has encouraged me to trust tt God knows and has His plans for us, whatever they may be. We're still praying abt the rental/moving in issue, and hopefully things will get clearer soon!

Weddin,
Sorry tt i can't advise u much on such matters cos i'm blur abt housing search and property prices. But as far as i know, we are getting a HDB concessionary loan with a 30 yr repayment period. Like Pandalic, our monthly loan repayments are kept below the cpf oa contributions

Cost of flat is btw $400-450K, and repayments are abt $1.5K/month i think

Btw, if u're getting a resale HDB flat, i think u're eligible for a HDB loan right? May be worthwhile to take up the HDB loan if u're concerned abt $...

sandsand · May 30, 2006

well, if God can provide us with such a thing like a home of our choice, i'm sure He will provide us with means to pay for our house too...
=)

lingi · May 30, 2006

To all sis,
Anyone from Wesley Methodist Church? Will hold my wedding there but i was a new member so no one to check or ask.

To YY : Look thru the table and found out that you are also from Wesley. Try to PM u but not successful. Can drop me an email?

h2b2b · May 30, 2006

Hi Mehmeh,

I'm having my wedding at Chapel of the Holy Spirit, my FH's church. Still under renovation, prayerfully will be ready for our wedding. Thanks for your suggestion on the wedding deco. Will find out more.

Hi weddin,
Another option is to look for a private condo with good rental pontential. In the event, that you and your hubby have only 1 income, you can rent out that place and rent another cheaper place and still have a positive cashflow...hope this will give you more option.

weddinstory · May 30, 2006

Thanks to all sis here who hv given your advice. Really thank God for all of u, especially pandalic.my htb and i liked a 3 BR condo costing abt 540k. we can only pay abt 110k cpf and 80k cash if we get now, whichmeans need to loan 300k plus, and if loan over 25 years, we need to pay abt 1500 per month. dun know if is wise. my concern is what if one day i need to stay home to look after my children and live on one income...not sure if it is wise to get the place now. any advice?

twinkle2610 · May 30, 2006

hi mehmeh.. sure will join u girls more often..but usu nothing much to contribute..hehe... so..just keep quiet n scan thru the threads... =)

weddinstory · May 30, 2006

i keep thinking if i m asking too much or shd just trust God to go ahead. really love the place and the environment. am i greedy?

lilic · May 31, 2006

hey weddin, all of us have to plan.. but we somehow cannot plan into the infinite future..

if you are on one income, the cpf "touchable" is abt 900 a month.. so if your loan instalment is 1.5k, you need to fork out abt 600 in cash.. is this manageable?

there is another option which i can propose.. you dun wipe off your cpf all at one short.. bearing in mind that if you do, you will also incurred the loss of interest at 2.5%.. so perhaps you can budget for enough cpf in your account to assist with the loan instalment during the period you will not be working.. afterall, if you do take a floating mortgage loan, the interest for the first 2 years are very much favourable.. you may want to do some comparison on this figures.. my numbers may be outdated..

when you choose a loan, choose one which doesnt forbid you from making partial prepayments.. so you can reduce the loan amount every now and then without penalties.

you are not been greedy.. we all have desires..actually, have you and your htb pray about this? God will lead.. if both of you feel right to make this purchase, then go ahead for He will provide..

i have the same intention of taking care of my own kidz next time.. but i am only prepared to stay home for 2-3 years.. so in my projection, i included this in.. i was concerned.. but we prayed and felt peace with the purchase.. and so we committed..

padi · May 31, 2006

Hi to all, just wanted to say hi. I've been following this thread but I have nothing much to contribute.

Have a good day everyone.

monyetnakal · May 31, 2006

hi lingi, when is your church wedding? I want to have my wedding at Wesley Methodist Church also, submit the application already but they can not confirm yet because i'm not a member yet. Will join the membership class that will start this 12 June, so they can only confirm when i become a member in mid August. Keep praying that by that time the church still available on my wedding day (17 mar 2007).

chendol · May 31, 2006

Hi Weddin,

I think 540k for a 3 bedroom condo is quite reasonable... where is the condo btw?

I'm searching for a flat now, but after observing HDB release 'trends' think my chances of getting a new flat at a location I want are next to zero. So considering resale now.

Don't worry Count, think you'll just need an extra dose of grace for more 'give and take' during the period you're staying with your in-laws. At least you know that there is your own flat to look forward to at some point! How long might you have to live with your in-laws?

mehmeh_lim · May 31, 2006

hi h2b2b,

U're most welcome

Hope the rest of the details compiled wld be of gd guide to u.. I believe the renos wld be completed by the wedding day k? *hugs* Dun worry too much

hi Kai,

heheh, coz no church wedding on ur part? anyway u're still early for the year end wedding

Can start thinking of songs or montage?

hi h2b2b,

Care to share some of ur wedding details?

Next sis in-line to wed!!

Ericia!

count · May 31, 2006

Twinkle,
Not sure how long i will have to stay with ILs cos the progress of building our flat is slow. Supposed to complete in 2009, though we optimistically hope it'll be ready by 2008. Every time we pass by Tanjong Pagar we peek to look at the progress! Heh

Lingi,
Do u need to attend the marriage prep course as well? As far as i know, for methodist churches, u have to complete their marriage prep courses at the church itself or another methodist church, in addition to being a member, so u may want to check abt this in addition to membership class?

skye_skye · May 31, 2006

Hello everyone
I've been following this thread quite a while ago, last year to be exact, arnd my wedding time and now the topic has also changed to houses. i'm adjusting to married life quite well and enjoying the blessings of it too

i'm staying with my ILs and have somewhat adjusted to staying with them. the advantage is that there's lesser housework to do (tho i try to help out), but it's still nice to have our own place.
and we did buy one recently, got a 5-room resale near my parents. it's really huge and we wondered if we've been too impulsive on buying it. so while we have gotten our house keys, we had held back on renovating it (even tho i'm an interior designer), till the end of the yr or next year.

felt it's quite a huge expense to take a reno loan so we planned to save for it. now we're praying for God to provide and the wisdom to use our money wisely. actually the house almost wiped out our cpfs and some of our savings so we're like starting from square 1.

anyway i wonder, anyone planning to have kids soon, or are u all like waiting for a year or two later...or not?

mehmeh_lim · May 31, 2006

hihi Kai & Padi,

Saved!!!

Padi: I know!! kekeke..

sandsand · Jun 1, 2006

skye, i'm getting married end of the year and we just got our flats to our 5 room recently.. We initially didnt want a 5 room, cos its was too ex and maybe too huge for the two of us for the moment.. but we fell in love with the place and we had such a sense of peace about it..

anyway, when we went to HDB last week, in that short while... my CPF that i work hard for and acumulate over the years all kena wiped out!! boohoo! but you work, and contribute to CPF is for that reason one right.. to ultimately use it to pay for the dream house that you will share with your partner..

We're starting reno soon, but we are doing stuff in phases.. maybe u can do something like that too..
stage 1: basic and necc reno and capentry works (wet works, carperntry..) if u think feature wall (if u have) is not necc, dont get it..

stage 2: basic furniture and equipment.. for example: sofa, dining table, MBR bed, fridge. We dont intend to get washing machine yet..

We also dont plan to get a phone line for the initial period till a time that we really need it.. pple call us on our mobiles more often..

ashlady · Jun 1, 2006

hi mehmeh,
oh dear...make sure D nurses u back to health so u can enjoy ur hols..now got GSS eh!

count · Jun 1, 2006

Mehmeh,
Yes u really shd rest well espeically since it's the sch holidays! So lucky tt u have more flexible hours during this period so can slack a bit more

Hey Skye,
Glad to see u back here again!

Going to stay with ILs after AD too, until our flat is ready. When is ur flat going to be ready? And where is it at?

skye_skye · Jun 1, 2006

hi ribbons,
thanks for the suggestions, it's also what we're thinking too

we're saving up to have extra too, just in case. we're doing a revamp of the house (ie completely redo the toilets and kitchen) so these stuff gotta be done at a go. not getting a phone line is a good idea tho. heh...tv too, save paying on the tv license and minimize watching tv.

we wanted a 5 room for sure, even tho it is gonna be big. but we're planning to stay there for a long while, and also to have space for kids in future. interestingly, our ILs will eventually move in with us after we've more or less settled in our new house. but that will have to see how things go.

hi count,
i've gotten my keys for my flat already. it's a 5-room resale at tampines. so meanwhile it's sitting around empty, a bit of a waste till we move in tho.

your new flat is at Duxton right? gonna be quite exciting to see it when it's done

you bought a 3 or 4 or 5 rm one?
