[koikoi]

some boy at the age very shy and timid...
make sure you have some sweets with you too...

Is it really necessary to have sisters on your wedding? Cant we make things simple, just get the bridegroom to come and open the door himself. Afterall, its keeping the marriage that matters and not the wedding day.

Hi boo boo,

I've heard from my cousin that she attended a wedding recently where the bride used all brothers instead of jiemei as all her cousin's are mostly guys. Go ahead as what yummy suggest and have something different

have fun with the planning

 

[piyo21]

Why jie mei cannot be married , i thought it pregant only cannot hold yr gown.

I got one Jie mei which is married

 

[missyling]

luckily my dad isn't those pangtan kind.. if not, i will end up with no jiemeis too...
even my buddies wedding.... most of the jiemeis are alrdy married or status is mummies alrdy...

 

[sunshinepeach]

Enjoy the process of planning ur wedding! Dun be bothered by all these gritty nitty issues.. @ the end of the day, u wanna look back at ur wedding wif fond and happy memories..

Though my AD was few weeks back.. everytime i looked at our express video and photos, I still felt very happy.. I do believe that jie meis and brothers played a very impt role.. they really spiced up the wedding part and made the whole event more fun..

 

[kessie83]

ya.. i will be also asking a divorcee to be my jiemei..

 

[green_tranquility]

Sunshine,
Welcome to Mrs club haha. You are done with your AD! How was HIA service?

 

[sunshinepeach]

green>> The service was GOOD! Food portion was very very big.. no major complaints.. just that the waiter spilled some red wine on my jie mei..

But they did wat they can to savage the situation.. like sending her dress for dry cleaning... n offerring to give her a free meal.

Ur AD over already?

[cho]

boo boo,
y not have guys as ur "jiemei"?

my galfren had her wedding with 3 gals n 2 guys as "jiemei"..

e gals stay indoors, which e male jiemei will follow e groom and "xiong di" around the block when they play games..

 

[momiji]

boo boo,

in reply to your qn, i didn't ask any relatives or friends to help out. just that on that day, a cousin came early and she, together, with my bro just automatically pour the tea for the ceremony. think any relative can help in this simple task.

maybe you can tell your dad that no jiemei is normal? coz on my side, no jiemei is the norm, have jiemei is only 1-2 cases. even for my colleagues, some of them also no jiemei. its only a half-day event, better to keep it simple.

 

[violac]

hope you're not as upset now boo boo. like momiji, i didn't have any jie meis. i personally do not like all the gatecrash and all that noisy hulabaloo so we didn't have them at our wedding.

i also got a cousin to be my helper that's it... her role was very simple, basically to help me carry my emergency kit and open her eyes big big and see where help is needed as we move along.

perhaps your dad can appreciate the simplicity of it? and you'll have to learn that the amount of work 8 jiemeis do in that one day can really be performed by one/two competent helper.

 

[booboo1010]

Hi Momiji and stickymouse.. thank you so much for your advices.. (and everyone here!)

I feel more confident in no having jiemeis.. maybe i'll get one or two friend to be my helper

 

[momiji]

boo boo,

great to hear that!

keep things simple and be a happy bride on that day.

 

[snow19]

i also thinkin of havin no jie mei, as i dun haf much friends. close friends is like in sec sch time rite now seldom meet up n the friendship is not so close. but would it be weird if my bf side got his brothers and my side i dun even haf jie mei at all

 

[two_piece]

Hmm... i think if you're sure not going to have jie meis, it'll be better for the groom's side not to have brothers also ba... else will be kinda wierd

 

[snow19]

haha i also think so, but the groom side definitely will need brothers to help him out durin the day n the dinner itself. makes mi abit confused n wondering shld i have jie mei anot

 

[octo]

Hi Snow19,

Personally, I don't think its weird.

My AD is next yr. Most of my childhood buddies are guys as I used to mix around with my elder brother's friend from young. So I am thinking of having only brothers at my side to help out around, if my close gfriends are not available. I don't think I want to get some not-close girl friends as jie mei cause they are not really my 'jie mei'.

Guess my photos might turn out unique and interesting with only 1 rose amidst the greens (xiong dis from both sides).

 

[snow19]

hi shir,
i think tat will be fun from your side. but my groom suggest tat i shld get jie mei if not he shall get for me haha...
