[sugar_babes_3310]

hi gers ,

anyone having military wedding in grand ballroom?? How many pairs of sword bearers do you have?

my fren just highlighted to me earlier that the ballroom quite big.. so if 4 pairs like not very sufficient...

any comments on this issue??

 

[sherl]

Hi gals I'm back!!!!! Heheheheheheh

Bugbear... congratulations!!! Take care of yourself ok... let your ah lao worry about the house renovations! You just sit back and relax! hahahhahahah

Wow, our brides here all like to move fast hor... heeheehee... Me plan to begin trying in two three months time... because I want piggy baby... hhahahahhhaha... Very picky hor...

Since we are talking about food...: Feedback from my guests about the food is generally good. My hubby's relatives loved the chicken with garlic - that is a must-order! Found the shark's fin quite salty though... The scallops in spicy szechuan sauce were also very good, and very generous helping... And of course the mango pudding is BEST!

Tannabee... I had 4 pairs of swordbearers... Not really bare la, can do... but you must spread them out lor. Start only on the inner aisle, after the turn. Best is 5 pairs I think, but unfortunately there was a major exercise going on at one of the bases on our wedding so a lot of our airforce guests including all the potential swordbearers couldn't make it, so we made do with 4 pairs...

Gals... when want to outing hah? Beginning April? Must hurry organize and book everyone liao.. hehehehh... Weekend? Friday?

 

[stefylim]

outing...good...lets have one, I haven't met any of you gals b4....

[sherl]

Dorami,

[sherl]

Hope to have my AD pics back by then... my PG is away for overseas shoot these couple of days so have not been able to contact him... sigh...

Sometimes feel so sian after my wedding is over... no wedding blues anymore... hahahahhaha

My MIL was very funny yesterday... she was chopping some chicken to brew herbal soup... My hubby asked her what it was for and she joked that it was for me so that I can bear her a grandchild soon... My BIL and his wife were so terrified, BIL immediately told his wife to steer clear of the soup... hiaks hiaks...

Hazel/mgt, how are your preps? You both up next hor....

 

[yukie]

hi crescent, hv u seen their Grand ballroom? U will fell in luv with it!

tink most of the smaller ballroom ceiling isn't high, even for other hotels...

hai... me can hardly walk now... sibei sian.. lunchtime can only go downstair or hv my col dabao for me... even goin hm is a problem! Hv to endure to end of tis wk, as my col is on leave n will only b bk next tue... will ask for bed rest when i c my gynae tis sat.

Sherl, my own hse not ready yet... tink will only b ready end of next yr. If u girls don mind, would like to invite u to my baby shower if i can find a big venue, m looking at Aloha Loyang, but all wkends taken up liao... most probably will hold it on fri nite if there is unit available...

hee... so when u intend to give yr MIL her grandchild huh...

 

[crescent]

for my no. of tables... i can only have it in the waterfront ballroom

 

[yukie]

Hi crescent, mayb u would like to ask if anyone hv pics of the waterfront ballroom after set up? Tat way u can hv a better idea how it will look like...

 

[crescent]

i saw the pix le... the decorations is nice... but i dun like the low ceiling... n some more the bridal room is not wat i'm looking 4...

 

[sherl]

Yukie...

Aiyoh, like that think we better wait for your baby shower to see you liao... hahahhahaha... Sure would love to go... Keep us informed when you find your venue hor... we arrange another meet-up after that la... Take care hor, and keep us in the know when Ashley arrives!

Haha... I waiting for another two, three months because I want piggy baby... Hope to have a mid-year piggy!

crescent, when is your AD? I think it's important to find somewhere you like and whose coordinator you can get along well with... It'll go a long way towards making your wedding journey enjoyable... I really looked forward to going to the hotel during the 9 months I did my planning because I loved the grand ballroom, even now I still look back with very fond memories of the hotel, so do take your time to look around to fnd a place you like..

 

[yukie]

ya... i agree with sherl, must find a venue tat once u look at it n u knw tis is the place.

hee... gd luck to u sherl...

[yukie]

sorry click wrongly...

 

[kaye]

Sherl,
I had exactly 1mth to my AD.
But nothing much done except had done my food tasting.

I m beginning to worry that I do not have enough tables for my guests.
Cos some of them take some time to reply...So I tot wont be attending...
N I chose others to replace...N in the end, all coming..
Luckily, my FH didnt invite his half tb of colleagues ...else I dunno how to arrange their seats.
At the same time, I am worried that they fly me aeroplane.

As for the GDL, I decided to choose Prima Deli for the cakes..
Initialy, wanted to choose fr 1 of the Bedok confectionery..
who knows...gt a mouldy cake when we bought it for trial

 

[crescent]

my AD on 20 oct 07...
ya i agree, now tat's what i'm doing..
