hi blureth.. our dinner started at 8.30pm (which was considered late for me). Feel really sorry for the guests. But can't help it too, cos' we need to have certain % of guests before commencing the dinner.
learnt from my hubby that my German boss came at 7pm (the very first guest). This was his 1st time attending chinese wedding, furthermore German are know to be very punctual. so, again feel so paiseh.. well, at least he leartn now our typical chinese wedding practice.. despite this, heard he enjoyed the foods especially the empress chicken.
i would say it depends on how many gowns you have with the bridal shop. for me, i have 1 WG, 2 EG. So, i got to change twice. You just gotta inform June according so that she can adjust the time for changing the gowns.
