Rachel, OCC is also my 1st choice too. think it is convenience cos we staying north area, so can save some travel time. hehe..

oop.. sorry! my FH frez wedding is tis yr next mth, i mess up with the date liao. cos too many red bomb till blur liao. whahaha..

yes, w/o the room will nt be convenience de. they did mention tat if require they can open up the small function room or even the room behind the stage for changing but i tik is nt nice guest can see the bride walking in & out, no toilet is another problem. wedding mostly will drink alot n nd to go toilet most of the time de. hehehe

yes, i rem their pkg is ard tis range. gd tat u can ask for MTM, i wanna too but gotta pay extra of $300. so still considering nw. think by early next yr den will go down see their gown den consider to take up OTR or MTM. cos i wan my PS in May09 or Jun09, so hopfully everything can settle soon. hehe.. so exciting n yet still far away.

i also wanna slim down, especially my fabby arm. sad...

 

[piggylover]

[raragal]

Piggylover> ooh.. i MTM coz i didnt find one that i really think is very nice on me.. either cutting or color dun match.. hehe.. so i MTM.. very satisfied with my gown.. hee.>

 

[piggylover]

[piggylover]

[raragal]

Piggylover> ooh.. Day Gown.. ahaha. usually known as WG.. hee..
2 or OD.. 4 for IN.. can bring casual also.. so will have more..

 

[diannahuimin]

Piggylover, I'm not particular about the date, just that out of respect, asking the ILs for their opinion. Though ILs did said that 2009 is not a good year to get marry, they did not say 2009 cannot get marry mah.

20-09-2009 is special for me cos it's also my birthday and also the anniversary date for both me and FH when we first get together as a couple.

I'm having all in 1 day. Actually not that rush if plan well. And also i have quite alot of help from the brothers and sisters group, total around 16 people. Me and FH just follow to the plan and the rest leave it to our brothers and sisters.

Rachel, I have not yet signed up with any bridal yet cos wanna settle the banquet venue then go for the next one. However, i have already shortlisted quite a few bridal boutiques like GHA, The Aisle.

 

[raragal]

Dianna> good to know that..

Do consider My Bridal Room.. heard of them??
They are really good. do check out their thread in the forum.

http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/messages/1/459753.html?1210084052

GHA is not bad... Aisle is quite ex rite??

 

[rach10]

Rach> Yeah, we know who is the photographer and we saw quite a few of his recent works... Those that are currently active in the thread also praised him for his work... so I think everything will be fine...

Right now, getting myself into action to lose more weight & fats... haha.. So that I can fit nicely into the gowns...

So are u all ready for your PS?
You bought your shoes already?
Can reckon any place to buy?

Piggylover> Actually I didn't ask for MTM, its already included in the package. But if I do manage to find anything I like OTR, i can waived off another $200... But like what Rach said.. I can't find the design/color that I like....
So I decided to MTM my EG... My WG is OTR...

Dianna> Wow,, seems like 20/09/2009 is really a good date for u... So many memories...

Too bad my BD falls on a weekday... its 4 days before my AD... else I will also want it on my BD.. heehee....

Please note that when u efile.. the address u write for the venue is very important..
coz whatver u write for the venue will appear in ur cert's Venue...

Mine was screwed up..
And needed to spend $15 for reprint..
sigh....

My original should be:
Swissotel Merchant Court Singapore Poolside, Upper Deck
20 Merchant Road Singapore 123456

Became:
Swissotel Merchant Court Singapore Poolside, Upper Deck 20
Merchant Road Singapore 123456

As if there're 20 Upper Deck...
So we decided to scrap everything.. just put
Swissotel Merchant Court Singapore

Coz the officer also say dun put address.. look more grand...
If ROM at ROM, normally only put:
Singapore Registry of Marriage

Never put address also ma...
