i have a piece of great news regarding my veil. Indeed God works in ways we do not know.
Today, my hb, my mum and I were discussing about the tea ceremony. Then halfway through the conversation, I came to realise that the tea ceremony has everything to do with the bridal veil.
So we had to discuss everything from scratch for these 2 issues - venue of tea ceremony and the bridal veil.
after finalising the tea ceremony for my family, we proceeded on to discuss about the bridal veil. I mentioned several examples of friends (Christians), who had changed into teadress (including mehmeh here), and later back into WG + veil for church.
My hb, fearing that I would smoke him, decided to check with friends from his old church. He came to realise that Christianity overwrites every other tradition.
So I do get to change into the teadress for tea ceremony and get to wear the bridal veil for church. Yeah~!!!!

practise makes perfect. not that i am good in housekeeping work lar, just better than my hb... but he's real good at cleaning. kekeke the good thing is that in marriage, we all learn together as a couple. That is what marriage is about. We get stretched to the max together, we learn to fight fair together, we learn patience and respect together. Don't you agree? So we learn to do housework together. kekekekeke
Ribbons, Mehmeh
yups, imagine how shocked I was when he chose to follow tradition. I really thank God for this breakthrough.

hehehe kai upon hearing what u say let me tell u what i did when i open my house.
Ok being christian we cannot be so 'me xin', but the house that we select is like left there for almost 4yrs. Being empty for so long...i dont feel good, i feel that there might be sprits in the house. I didnt ask christians what they will do...but i hear many ppl (non christian) say many things on opening the house.
I even thought of asking fong shui master to select a date n time for me to go open the door. In the end we decided to open the door in the day and we roll some oranges plus throw some rice over the house. hehehe not very christian but a simpler way to make me feel that the house is cleanse.
I didnt think so much at that time, all i want is to feel safe with little effort.
Now if i can do it again, think i will just bring a bible into the house n pray.
Kai dont worry ur problem will be solve just like ivy.

hi ivy,
heheh.. now no need to *faint* oredi, kekeke, u can smile ur way to the big day!
hi kai,
hmm.. since ur mum's idea is for u to be blessed, u tell her tt u & ray wld like to be blessed by ur Pastor. Tell her u appreciate her kind thots abt ur welfare, but the means to the ends may be different, but u're already blessed by her love & concern
Pray tt God will give u a way!
just to share...
When we were in the midst of renos, my mum brought up the issue of house 'blessing' over a dinner.. I was a little apprehensive abt this 'blessing', so i might have misheard her. No one else at the table mentioned anything, and like u, i just said 'orh-orh'
Then after dinner, i asked Hb abt what my mum said.. To my pleasant surprise, she meant asking ppl fr church to bless our home. I think the terms such as Pastor or CG cld't be verbally mentioned by my mum, coz she's not familiar & maybe 'shy' to bring it up.. Feel really blessed tt my parents are really supportive abt our decisions!!

what we did was..... when we were looking at the show flats for the WIS, we went to pray at the places that we liked. we saw this particular unit (doors locked lah) we liked it very much and some how we prayed longer there, laynig our hands on the gate..... and in the end when we went to HDB, chinese quota in Queenstown only left one and only this unit left.. and by faith, this house that we prayed especially long for is the house that we will be staying in...=)
when we got our keys, fh and i prayed in every room, to dedicate the house to GOd, right from the begining, even before renovations...
my FMIL is intending to do some moving in traditions thingy.. i do not know what she wants to do, but i told my fh and my pastor, that whatever she wants to do, i wanna do a house blessing first.... i wanna honour God first in no matter what happens, and can intercept anything MIl wants to do also..
Just to share, i attended a cell group retreat last week and the word material was about surrendering ourselves to Christ. And this verse kept coming up:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and don't lean on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him, and he shall direct your way. [Proverbs 3:5, 6]â€
so many issues are surfacing now as wedding preparations intensifies... and sure got clashes... something happened recently and as i was fuming on the bus, suddenly this verse came to me... i found myself saying this verse slowly in my mind.. i dont know why but i realised that I am feeling so angry now becos i am thinking so much of whats happened, what i wanna do, what cna happen etc.. instead of this, i should be trusting in God, dont lean on my own understanding by thinking thru the situation and thinking of what I want to do.. So I am going to just surrender this to GOd and trust in Him to solve this issue.., and once i do, i will not think about it anymore ,becos this would mean i'm taking my surrendered isues BACK from God and stop him from doing his work..
hope all of us will remember that no matter what happens, we're in God's hands and He will never want us to go thru anything we cannot handle... sure somtimes the journey's abit hard to go thru, outcome a bit hard to reach or its different from what we expect.. but His will wouldnt be in a place where His grace cant reach us.. =) so trust in God, no matter what, and He will guide us to the way that we are suppose to go, according to his will..
this retreat came at a right time for me, just before i go full speed ahead into the preparations....

anyways... we're getting my pastor to do a house blessing for us soon.. he'll be doing a simple worship, short word and we will go pray at every room, he will pray, we will pray and he will ask some of friends to pray too, and end off with a prayer for us... inviting my whole zone, cos these are pple close to our hearts and i am sure they wanna bless our house together with us too...
kai: i learnt thru all these.... even though we are to live our testimony as christians and not participate in all these, we are also taught to respect our elders... and so if u've told ur parents about ur feelings, if they still insist, just see what they wanna do lor.. ultimately, they do these cos they are concerned for us, and of course want the best for us... i sometimes would allow my FMIl to do such stuff.... not cos i want to applease the ancestors or whatever gods and ensure good fengshui but cos it appleases the parents and elders who are still around and puts them at peace (and my ears at peace too).. most importantly, ur heart is right before GOd. =)of course i will put my foot down and have certain limits lah.... i have told fh, DO NOT bring any joss sticks and attempt to place ANY idols in the house or nearby the house..)
as what i did, God first in everything... so when u guys first go in, pray over the place, pray for cleansing, and that your home will be filled with joy, laughter and most importantly God's presence..=)

kai, take keys on that day does not mean must open the doors on the same day wat...
for our case, i took the keys during 7th mth 3 yrs back. BUT, we only opened the door after 7th mth..
we may not believe what the old folks say.. but then, if we will lose any hair by doing it & make them happy.. i guess no harm also la

Also, it is always better to open the door of a new house during the day where there is bright sunlight... can see/check the interior better also
sometimes, it is better to listen to the older folks. my SIL does not believe that time when my mum told her to avoid going to their new place when it is undergoing renovation (ie when the workers are workign) as she is pregnant . when she was there, she had a pain in the tummy that she quickly ran downstairs. only then, the pain stopped. well, not everyone is as lucky as as her.

actually, it doesnt really matter who prays, God sees the heart of the person praying not the status or portfolio of the person praying... =)

Yup, my fiance and I just recently prayed in the hall of our home that God would be sovereign in this place, and use it to His glory.
We intend to invite our pastor to come after reno, but as Christians we can always pray first.
Kai - maybe go with yr fiance on another day and pray first, before anyone else can come and do anything? Tell your mum you're not going to see the house on the first day?

<font color="0077aa">hihi ladies, just to share a good news with you all.. i am really thankful to our heavenly father..
if you guys remembered, my matrimonial home will not be in time for the wedding.. and due to uncertainties in our work schedule and the high rental, we cannot commit to renting a place.. so we kinda decided to stay with my parents after the wedding.. although its a good solution, i guess nothing beats having a place of your own after the wedding.. and i remember telling my fiance that "how nice it will be if we can stay alone after the wedding" sometime back.. and his reply was "well, let's just leave it to God"
then just yesterday, a fren who will be leaving town to join her hubby elsewhere, offered her brand new fully-furnished apt to us! and she is not collecting any rental from us.. we just need to pay for maintenance, utilities, phone and internet bills and help her keep her mail and apt in good condition and she is keeping a room for herself in case she returns for a visit.. where got so good lobang right??
i really cannot believe it and am so elated.. He is so good right? His promises are YES and AMEN!</font>

hi gals,
I hv the same prob wif padalic smtime bk last few weeks. My FH's bro's family will be still staying in the hse that we are going to take after our wedding, his SIL told him tat they wont be shifting out of the hse so soon. Therefore we hv no place to stay even after wedding. We fretted over tis matter and spoke our leaders and by God's grace one of my leader offered his plc to us cos they will moving into his IL's plc bcos of his two kids. Sm of my church cum to know of this they oso offered us a room in their hse.
I agree that once we surrender our burdens and issues to God, He will do the rest. In fact, we feel tat at times, our bros and sis-in-christ are better thn our own blood siblings.

Therefore we hv no place to stay even after wedding. We fretted over tis matter and spoke our leaders and by God's grace one of my leader offered his plc to us cos they will moving into his IL's plc bcos of his two kids. Sm of my church cum to know of this they oso offered us a room in their hse.
I agree that once we surrender our burdens and issues to God, He will do the rest. In fact, we feel tat at times, our bros and sis-in-christ are better thn our own blood siblings.
