Hotel updates

Lynn told me that Carlton hotel serves good food.
And it is so near Raffels Hotel.
And it has a minimum table of 10! So our 18 tables is ok!
Sounds really good.
The main problem now is that we cannot find hotel that serves 18 tables only. Where on earth do i dig out more guests til 25 tables right?
This hotel searching is starting to get tiring. I must learn to enjoy the process!!!!!
Wedding is fun!
Yes! and i made my gown!!!
It's victorian style... keke. loved it.
Dyl going to make his suit soon.
Tata!
go with my heart?
October 22, 2006 - 01:03
we have not confirmed our banquet location.
I am starting to wonder why we are having a banquet in the first place.
some people are telling me not to do things just because that is how most people do it. just go with my heart.
well, i must say i am experiencing huge headache trying to please everyone of my guests, making sure they like the place, the food. =(
But in the end, i don't seem to enjoy the process too much! haha.
maybe i should just go with my heart.

The cost of an unforgettable wedding
October 05, 2006 - 12:49
Getting married is such an exciting event.
Excitment can come in various form and cost you different amount.
For me, I had to have a wedding that is so fun filled and unforgettable. And it must have that tinge of prestige.
So of course, the cost is escalating.. i shiver just looking at the spreadsheet. Sometimes i forgot that after all that laughter and tears in the wedding, life will go on as usual.. and that means, we still need to furnish the house!
I love capturing the smiles of brides.
ok, i need to start promoting my photography services and earn myself some furnitures. haha.
Wedding quick updates!
October 05, 2006 - 06:56
It's close to 3 months left to our wedding.
Just chose the bridal studio yesterday. Hired a photographer for the wedding after much efforts.
It is indeed difficult for a photographer to hire another photographer! I either like their photos too much or hate it too much! But this photographer 's works are great. And charges reasonable.
Location has been booked . It's The Lawn@Raffles Hotel. Loved it!
All helpers have been informed. Having meetings with them this and next week.
As for the rest of my life, enjoying my work and relations with my colleagues.
trying my hand at wedding pics.
I have still a long way to go to polising up my skills!
Quick updates on wedding thus far!
October 01, 2006 - 18:47
I have even done up our own letterhead! But it is not printable... argh...
Shall upload it here soon.
so far, helpers have all been informed. dyl and myself are feeling less stress... location is set @ Raffles hotel...
Gown has been made...
so many more things to do..
that's all for now.
updates!
September 23, 2006 - 23:37
i made my gown!!!! will be keeping it, although i don't know when I can wear it again, but i don't mind buying it!
Dylan bought his wedding band too, and he loved it so much. I will be using my diamond ring...
Location is confirmed @The Lawn, Raffles Hotel.
Of course it is super stress planning for a wedding ceremony in 3 months when others typically takes 6 months to a year.
I really need to meet up with the helpers soon.
Things are falling into place...
September 22, 2006 - 03:28
We bought our cosy nest on our third anniversary.
On top of his proposal.
I made my gown too! hopefully it turns out well . I want it the vera wang way.
Fell sick today from all the stress. Working, planning for our solemnisation, buying a house, is a very stressful affairs.
Sigh.
Today i will go down to the raffles hotel.
And perhaps, i will book the venue.

Too-excited-to-sleep-kinda-night
September 16, 2006 - 19:12
can't sleep.
kept thinking about my wedding and ROM.
Too excitied! Very happy to see Dyl so excited too. especially when he saw me try on a short wedding dress. haha.
I loved the gown from Olive suite but it is so expensive for a ROM gown! $800! kept thinking about it though.
Was at Irene's creation to take a look and the designer kinda insisted i suited halter neck better etc. he designed me sth a bit too elegant and mature for my age. Well, their service is good though.
aiya, so excited! but everything is flying out of budget. especially my choice location of The Lawn @ Raffles Hotel!
I am 22 and I am getting married. Should at least pamper myself right? Then again, my new house will not have enough furniture. haha.
Trying hard NOT to involve parents and their money in this equation. it is tough, when everything i like is in the high range.
Whenever the case, dylan just wants me to be happy! so if i want raffles, then raffles it will be!
Houses!
September 15, 2006 - 15:42
Dylan has reached a stage of house viewing that he simply wants to buy every house he views, in order to end the process. hahahaha.
While me, I want to view at least a hundred units! ok, only about 15 units and i am already tired too. but, the point is, i still wanna look on.
he agreed. hee.
o ya, i know dyl is having something funny up his sleeves, the formal PROPOSAL!
let's await.
for those of you who knows the details of my ROM, keep quiet first.. shh... gotta give the rest a surprise right. =)
By the way, do i need to give our angbao to the kids after ROM? o no... ;)
Ok, other than reading tons of wedding mags now, i have not been doing much. work is still.. well work.
luckily this whole wedding planning has been keeping me alive!
Cheers!
September 13, 2006 - 15:03
