hi Ryan..

sorry my timing was 725, 745 and 805pm. Think the special 40 seater comes for 3 times (if not hw come our card stated these timing only)..coz still have the normal shuttle bus to OCC..i saw in my contract going back also can use the 40 seater..maybe 3 timings also..but i'm not sure also coz nobody mention to be abt going back with the 40 seater or OCC normal shuttle bus..

we started at 845pm and ends ard 1045pm. i think OCC last shuttle bus also at 11Pm??

unless ur guests are very onz..can come puntually at 730pm..but most of the chinese wedding i've attended is never on time also..also ard 8-830pm..

 

[bobochacha]

and also the wedding cards..i think got 6 designs ba..

we used the normal red card with "xi" and a yellow modern one for our bros and jiemeis..

we took 250 red and 30 yellows..

 

[bobochacha]

i can recommend u the place we bought wine..our guests said the red wine we took was very nice..

I had checked with Serene, our shuttle bus will be 7pm, 7.20pm and 7.40pm. I hope to get the dinner starts at 8-8.30pm. There will be shuttle bus fetching the guest back as well.. normally the mc will annouce it during the wedding..

[r_d]

[bobochacha]

Hi Ryan

[piggylover]

Hi Ryan, issit? i choose it because of the little light glow when light are off. very nice, look like star...

Hi Chris, do add me in too! my multiply acct is mdwedding2009. Thank you! =)

 

[wendycsk]

[r_d]

hi chris, the intelligent lighting during the march in is good! hehe.. how come your guests didnt play pranks on you 2 ah? hahah

finally, im going to confirm my deal with OCC this saturday. then can proceed to food liao.. hehe..

 

[bobochacha]

Hi Ryan..

there was actually games to be played on my hubby and me organised by my emcee..

but coz we started late..and need to take pics with all the tables..

emcee ends up only asking qns abt us and giving out vouchers..

 

[r_d]

oh, so this is where the guests went up the stage to get their gifts ah.. i see.. hehehe

then what did the emcee intend to play on you 2?

 

[r_d]

oh.. the wedding cake seems very high too! hehe the design for the VIP tables look simple and elegant.. think the starry night a bit plain too.. but the buggy is "wee you wee"!!hahaha

 

[bobochacha]

we actually took the dice game ah..means 1 of the guest threw the dice..if it falls onto any number..then we need to do wat the number is..eg if no. falls on 2..we need to kiss etc..something like tat..

wedding cake is high and abit dirty already i think..haha..

ya just realised starry nite is plain..hahah..but Karen said alot chose this theme also..

 

[wendycsk]

hi chris, is your emcees from corazon events?

 

[bobochacha]

Hi Wendy..

ya ya..they are from corazon events..keke

 

[frennade]

hi all

i'm back as totally tied up with my work when back to office...till now managed to find sometime to log on again...

that day was hectic for me as total 58tables to take pics..and by the time i finished all photo taking..i took off my heals..so tired..

 

[r_d]

hi jasmineT, 58 tables ah!! aiya, should have went to OCC with my sayang to take a look.. hehe unbelivable man!! take photos with all 58 tables of guests. hehehe

hi wendy, you are considering to engage pro emcee too?

what is the pros and cons?

 

[bobochacha]

i think as long the coordination is gd..even 70 tables also can take pics finish..haha..

Hi Ryan..actually we asked our own friends to be our emcee..but they were not free..so we think better to engage outside as they are more pro..we intend to let our friends to rest and enjoy the dinner with us also..

so far those emcees i saw being engaged outside are more entertaining eh..they can spice up the whole event...i did see some using their own friends..i think they are paiseh..or 4got wat to say also..and not much jokes etc..just those normal speech to see the montage..rise up for march in etc..unless ur friends are really gd in entertaining the guests..

so depends ah..

 

[bobochacha]

then coz emcees already took ur $$..so will make sure everything went well..if not sure kena shoot by the groom and bride also..but if friend did something wrong..also paiseh to tell them off ba??

my emcees not only provides speech etc for us..but also help us to coordinate to make sure we take pics for all our tables..but the xiongdis also helped up in this..

 

[wendycsk]

Hi chris, me also taking adrian and kelly as my emcees.. so qiao.. i think i saw some photos of you in facebook as adrian and kelly were tagged thus from the games you mentioned, i known it was you.. hehe..
