Hi JenJen,
I know what you mean.
I felt that way too when my FH proposed. He also chose a time which I least suspected........ He knows that I do feel the importance of being proposed to lah..... cos after wearing the ring, doing preparations somehow felt more "appropriate"..... BTW he proposed before we started looking for banquets and bridal package. (cos I will not do all these before he pop the question......
Hi Reebok,
Be patient. Since he said that he will propose, he will........
Maybe he is planning something big, big leh......
I know what you mean.

Hi Cowie,
Hehe...me blur mah...yup, mine is on the 6 & 7th July 2002...quite close to yours hor?
Was reading the earlier threads on dieting and found out that u are a pharmacist. Wah...so next time can go to u for medicine and advice hor...hehe
Guess what??? We have another thing in common too...and that is i will NOT prepare anything for wedding too if the guy has not proposed...hehe
Hi Reebok,
Don't worry. I'm sure your FH will propose since he said he will do it when the time is right. Proposing to a girl in a special way takes a lot of effort and planning too. So, don't spoil the surprise now, give him some time to plan and surprise u when the time comes ok?
I understand it's frustrating, but be patient. We are with u
Hi JenJen,
CONGRATS AGAIN!!! Still very excited and happy for u
Tell us how he proposed if u don't mind sharing

Hi Cowie,
*pat pat*...on the back...for remembering my wedding date...hehe
Sure, no prob, will definitely give u all the tips after my wedding...esp since we have so much in common
Hi Reebok,
Don't worry...I'm sure he will. Well, it's a blessing that you have a husband who is stable and who loves u...tho not romantic. There are many men out there who really knows how to romance a lady but they usually turn out to be jerks...and they start romancing other ladies. See...so u are blessed with a good stable husband

Hi Mo,
Yup, waiting to learn from you
Hi JenJen,
Dun worry so much about the ROM gown. I think the shop people should be able to give you advice on what are the cutting that suits you. After finalising on the gown then come and decide on what are the "extras" you need to make the overall look even better....... It is always easier when you have the actual gown design already.....Who knows, the chosen gown may fit you to the T such that you can do without any other extra paddings, etc....
Hi Reebok,
So touched to see the love and bond shared between the two of you........sob, sob...

Linda, ur "umm" effect very cute... but u sure those tapes can give u "uplift"??? I want to at least see a bit of cleavage mah...
... btw, maximiser bras not effective enuff for me...hahaha...
Cowie, I have not chosen yet... but I roughly know I want something simple lor... so I dun think simple gowns have sufficient paddings... furthermore, paddings look kinda fake???
btw, wat about bustier tops??? wat are they??? are they any good???

Jen,
Bustier tops are just like tubes. Wore external.
BTW, you know the trick to 'fit' better in maximiser? I learn this from a friend. Buy your bra size one size samller than what you usually wear.
After wearing must remember to bend forward, pull each breast up and front, sitting each nicely in the cup....Then da-dah! Super cleavage! Cos tighter and breast are kind of "forced" to sit upright mah....
Those tapes supposedly provides uplifting support. But true or not I dunno leh.

hi ladies, sorri for disappearing for a week now... been busy, hope some of you still remember me?!!??
reebok, read your posting about your hubby not being romantic... sigh* felt the urge to contribute, my man's like yours.. not romantic one... aiyoh, but think of it this way, the little little thing that he does sometimes is actually his way of expressing his love and care/ concern and i guess this is more sweet than if he were to say "love you" all the time?
i remember when i was in hospital december last year, he really took care of me.. took me to the toilet, powder bath me, watch me while i sleep etc.. it's really touching and from then, i stopped complaining that he isn't romantic! a romantic man, i want but a guy who truly care for me is more important!
it's been 5+ years now, love is still in the air and i guess that's most impt?
as for jenjen, my sister is also like you and for her wedding, she requested/ opted for bustiers! it works well for her. gave her that cleavage which is required but didn't give her one that's artificial! that's the point! try dew's suggestion, I think it works!

Hello to all,
I'm new to this website and I'm happy to see so many positive comments about MM. I plan to have my wedding dinner Dec 02 and MM is one of my choices.
I know most hotels only allow Duty Paid liquor. Is MM very strict on this or will they close one eye? Also, may I know how much deposit to pay?

Hi mag
welcome to the MM "gang"
we did asked our co-ordinator abt the DFS liquor n she said tat only non-DFS is allowed..think quite strict..
but there is another hotel tat we actually asked n the guy said tat legally in the contract they will state duty paid but as a matter of fact, they will close one eye.
i paid $3k for the deposit.
maybe u can meet up with MM n check with them.

yep yvonne, chosen my ROM gown... quite simple but I am worried if it is a bit too formal... my bf did the choosing...
hehehe... seems like that dress was one of the very popular ones for ROM... *sigh*... later I meet someone who tell me she wore that dress before then die...
Paris will be very expensive... I asked leow...
Hey, now I know why all the brides want to keep on slimming down... coz when I tried the gowns... wah!!! so stressful... I have to keep breathing in deeply just to zip it up!!! *pengz*... so depressing!!!

glad tat u found ur gown.
hehe..ya..i think so too..tat time i went to Milan and they allowed me to try 2 gowns..one was ok but the other one quite tight!
but nvm lah..they can amend one mah..
hey if someone say she wore the same b4 still not so bad..if u get ur dress from outside (the more popular ones) u have high chance of seeing another bride on tat day, scarly wearing the same dress as u!! like tat more cham!
at least u need not worry coz i think the dress is only from Paris..low chance of seeing another one exactly the same one!
Happy ROM!!
hey...do remember wat u have said during the ROM leh..for my case..both my hubby n i couldnt remember wat we have said coz i think we were too kan cheong..just repeat the lines..heheheh

hi yvonne, if u read the other thread, I think I will do my makeup myself... as for the hair, I just go to a hair salon when they just open to do it...
Like that oso can save a bit of $$$ mah... coz they will charge double if I want to make appointment before their opening hours... everywhere else quote so high...
bridal makeup sure thick one lah... wat's impt is ur photos come out great!!!
as for hairspray sure a lot one oso lah... my advice from hairdresser is, if u got lots of hairspray in ur hair, when u want to wash ur hair, use conditioner first, then shampoo... it'll be easier...
bridal makeup sure thick one lah... wat's impt is ur photos come out great!!!
hi jenjen
just wanna KPO a bit here!
you know, if you are looking for someone to do the make-up for you, sandy is a good one, cos you did mine for me too, though she was introduced by another friend who "used" her for her ROM too!
i think "my" sandy might be the same sandy as what sweetiee mentioned in the previous thread!
just before my ROM, i was looking pretty pale and weak as i was recuperating from an op. 3 weeks ago, but sandy managed to transform me into a "beauty"!! haha.. so thick-skinned...
anyway, the more important thing is, make sure you & your witness remember the IC!!!! for my case, i was late for my ROM (5minutes) cos, my MIL forgot!!!!! she didn't know she has to bring it!!!! my hubby forgot to tell her!!!! aiyoh, had to go back and take and then, the traffic jam cos we had to use the CTE and our time was 9am!! the first one!!!!
my hubby's godsister called and said that everyone had already arrived but the bride & groom was missing!? told her the situation and she spoke to the pp at the ROM... when we reached there, my friend took over the car and we rushed upstairs! so many friends & relatives saw us rushing... so pai-seh!!!
lucky thing, we weren't made to wait long, we went in as the second couple!
but i can see my hubby, he was breaking out in perspiration! haha... kan-cheong ah!!
so, IC!!!!

HI GIRLS
I AM BACK !!!
okee, shall share with u my wedding details now...
few days before the wedding, i was busy with cleaning my new hse, getting everything ready for the big day, was so tired. most headache part was the guest list n table arrangement n i cannot stress more on it. pls do it soonest possible. but lucky i got everything settled n i can relax on the eve of my wedding. i was very tired but could not get much sleep, guess i was excited n waiting for the big moment to arrive.
i woke at up 5.45am, get ready for the make up artiste (Jac) to come. she arrived at 6.45am sharp as promised n start to work on me. i must say she did a tremendous job, transforming me into a little princess..kekeke
then the photographers n videography came. they were really a funny team n kept making me laugh. really good to have them ard cos they help me to relax n i feel so comfy with them ard. i was ready by 8am n my hubby only will arrive at 8.30am. so i had time to walk ard, teased my "jie mei", check myself on the mirror.. parade...blah blah blah.
then Andy (my hubby) came n i can hear all the comotion outside. i was seated all the time in the room, trying hard to listen. let's just say that andy did not have an easy time to get in but he did eventually. when i was leaving my parent's home, my mum took my hands n placed on andy's, told him to take good care of me n she started to get teary. me also can feel the rush of tears in my eyes but i told myself to control hard.
then we head off to our outdoor shoot. was planning to go to Emerald Hill but it started to rain, so Andrew (photographer) signal us to go to Art Museum instead. was rather glad to make this change cos the place is air-conditioned n got nice places for photoshoot
next, followed by tea ceremonies n we head off to MM. we only reach MM abt 4pm i was already very tired but still very excited. Jac was suppose to come at 5pm so i need to rush to clean up n have the complementary room service meal. girls, do try to order earlier cos it takes quite a while for the food to arrive.
Jac arrived to proceed with the make up, again, she did a wonderful job. Andrew came too for the journalistic shots.. followed by all my close friends n good buddies. Andy n the helpers teams went down to have rehearsal n briefing. they will have a rehearsal at 6pm, briefing at 6.30pm. during the briefing, then u can tell the techinican what songs u r playing for the march in, test out the projector...blah blah blah.
i went down to greet the guests at abt 7.30pm. was so excited to see so many guests. we were pretty lucky, all my guests were seated by 8pm n we start the event at 8.15pm. we started with showing the slideshow followed by our bridal march. the event operation manager from MM was really good. he calm us down, made us feel good, assured us n was there all the way to guide n help us. he was really very nice ! Pauline was there too, she chat with me n assued me as well. she was there thru out most of the dinner to make sure everthing falls into place nicely.
after our second march, my sis gave a very touching speech that i nearly cried on stage. then me n hubby each gave our personal thank you speech too. the event manager was there always to make sure everything was ok.
ok, feedback on MM. mostly said the food was okee. only bad feedback i received was that the waiter seems to "rush" the guests. they kept asking whether they are done with the dishes n they want to collect the plates. there's this particular waiter did not even bother to ask, just took away the plates when there's still food !!! i think u girls should highlight this to MM. other than this, everything was GREAT !!
Pauline n her team really did a wonderful job n we enjoy ourselves so much on our wedding day. there were a few hiccups here n there, but i just completely ignore it n leave it to my sis n friends to settle it. so girls, on ur big day, no matter what, just leave it to ur team, relax n be a little pricess for a day
Here's a a few ppl that i would like give credits to n also some lobang to share...
~ Marina Mandarin (Pauline 8451225)
she really help to make sure everything was done nicely for our big day. i am very grateful that she stay almost thru out the whole dinner.
~ Ted Wu (3271241)
i received alot of compliments for both my gowns. i enjoy every single session with him thru out the whole design, fitting phase. if anyone out there loves embriodery n considering Ted Wu, do check him up.
~ Montage Studio (4762440)
Eng Howe did a great job for our photoshoot. he was able to capture every little moment n made us look so natural n loving. andy was so stiff during the shoot n i was so surprised that the pic turn out so well. infact he look much more natural than me !!
~ Jacqueline Law (make up artiste 96353568)
a friendly gal to work with n she listens to my concerns n preference. she is pretty stong with both make up n hair.
~ The Edge Photography (Andrew Tay 96867894)
i had 2 photographers for my actual day. Andrew took the B&W journalistic while his partner Leslie took the tradition colour shots. then Eric was incharge of the videography. these 3 funny guys, just made us feel so relax n i must say they are very professional. they are a great team together n have very good rapport.
~ Projector (William Chua 90250418)
i rented the projector from William n he told me ours is the first wedding event. usually he handles coporate events. $150 for the projector, including delivery n pick up. MM charges $450 !!!
~ Digital Presentation (Monica Eng 98488199)
Monica did the slide show for us n many guests told me was a good job done. i even have friends who felt so touch while viewing the slideshow that they feel like crying !!!
~ London Cab (Michael Tan 97351991)
the london cab look very pretty with the nice decor done by Green Point Florist. Micheal is a very nice guy. we enjoy our rides with him. (if contact him directly is cheaper than going thru Tibs... shhhh. i contacted thru Tibs is $550, he told me direct to him is $480)
~ SB Forum of course !!
i made so many good friends here n also found alot of good contacts here for our wedding preparations. THANK YOU
that's all from me. i hope i have not bore u with my long long posting.

next, followed by tea ceremonies n we head off to MM. we only reach MM abt 4pm i was already very tired but still very excited. Jac was suppose to come at 5pm so i need to rush to clean up n have the complementary room service meal. girls, do try to order earlier cos it takes quite a while for the food to arrive.
Jac arrived to proceed with the make up, again, she did a wonderful job. Andrew came too for the journalistic shots.. followed by all my close friends n good buddies. Andy n the helpers teams went down to have rehearsal n briefing. they will have a rehearsal at 6pm, briefing at 6.30pm. during the briefing, then u can tell the techinican what songs u r playing for the march in, test out the projector...blah blah blah.
i went down to greet the guests at abt 7.30pm. was so excited to see so many guests. we were pretty lucky, all my guests were seated by 8pm n we start the event at 8.15pm. we started with showing the slideshow followed by our bridal march. the event operation manager from MM was really good. he calm us down, made us feel good, assured us n was there all the way to guide n help us. he was really very nice ! Pauline was there too, she chat with me n assued me as well. she was there thru out most of the dinner to make sure everthing falls into place nicely.
after our second march, my sis gave a very touching speech that i nearly cried on stage. then me n hubby each gave our personal thank you speech too. the event manager was there always to make sure everything was ok.
ok, feedback on MM. mostly said the food was okee. only bad feedback i received was that the waiter seems to "rush" the guests. they kept asking whether they are done with the dishes n they want to collect the plates. there's this particular waiter did not even bother to ask, just took away the plates when there's still food !!! i think u girls should highlight this to MM. other than this, everything was GREAT !!
Pauline n her team really did a wonderful job n we enjoy ourselves so much on our wedding day. there were a few hiccups here n there, but i just completely ignore it n leave it to my sis n friends to settle it. so girls, on ur big day, no matter what, just leave it to ur team, relax n be a little pricess for a day
Here's a a few ppl that i would like give credits to n also some lobang to share...
~ Marina Mandarin (Pauline 8451225)
she really help to make sure everything was done nicely for our big day. i am very grateful that she stay almost thru out the whole dinner.
~ Ted Wu (3271241)
i received alot of compliments for both my gowns. i enjoy every single session with him thru out the whole design, fitting phase. if anyone out there loves embriodery n considering Ted Wu, do check him up.
~ Montage Studio (4762440)
Eng Howe did a great job for our photoshoot. he was able to capture every little moment n made us look so natural n loving. andy was so stiff during the shoot n i was so surprised that the pic turn out so well. infact he look much more natural than me !!
~ Jacqueline Law (make up artiste 96353568)
a friendly gal to work with n she listens to my concerns n preference. she is pretty stong with both make up n hair.
~ The Edge Photography (Andrew Tay 96867894)
i had 2 photographers for my actual day. Andrew took the B&W journalistic while his partner Leslie took the tradition colour shots. then Eric was incharge of the videography. these 3 funny guys, just made us feel so relax n i must say they are very professional. they are a great team together n have very good rapport.
~ Projector (William Chua 90250418)
i rented the projector from William n he told me ours is the first wedding event. usually he handles coporate events. $150 for the projector, including delivery n pick up. MM charges $450 !!!
~ Digital Presentation (Monica Eng 98488199)
Monica did the slide show for us n many guests told me was a good job done. i even have friends who felt so touch while viewing the slideshow that they feel like crying !!!
~ London Cab (Michael Tan 97351991)
the london cab look very pretty with the nice decor done by Green Point Florist. Micheal is a very nice guy. we enjoy our rides with him. (if contact him directly is cheaper than going thru Tibs... shhhh. i contacted thru Tibs is $550, he told me direct to him is $480)

no lah. the photography package was a wedding gift from my dear sister lah
actually i did not want to do video too. but after some thoughts n advise from friends, i decided to go ahead with it. reason being is that u dun get to see alot of the details during the wedding, as the attention is on u. it is only thru the video then u get to see the whole day procedure. now i am really glad that i did it.
due to our generous guests, we managed to cover all the banquet cost

btw, how did u 2 split the cost???
is it the traditional guy's side pay guy's side + the no. of tables he give the gal??? but he only take angpow for guy's side??? then the gal take all angpow on gal side and pay only for extra tables gal wants (above the no. received from guy)???
or u 2 just pool everything together and pay together, dun care abt the no. of tables guy gives gal???
