cornetto

sorry cheesecake... me dunno the market rate... cos keep hearing pp say give $8888... luckily ydy FIL said will contribute a bit to our wedding funds. den dun feel so suffocated liao. oso gonna stick to original plan of 22 tables thereabouts instead liao. i oso never keep my hubby's money ah... and i oso dun ask for household allowance, cos i am working myself mah. the most is tt he pay the PUB bills lo. cos he need to save $$ for his degree. but when either of us overspent, then we will "jiu4 ji4" each other lo. haha... heh i shld also be helping him a bit if i can still rem what i learnt last time! btw diva, u booked novotel liao right? did u book the phoenix or cinnamon room??

wah fifi u r so nice! i only put $20 in his wallet leh keke... my mom dunwan me to go but i told her i dun care i wanna go lah... hahaha...

i dun demand hubby to give me money lah. just tt when i really short on cash then will seek help from him. i got question on the clash thingie too. my sis rom date clashes with my chinese zodiac (my year also). can i still attend?

yup PJ looks nice. pillarless too right? nearly held my solemnization there... food confirmed good one... got river view somemore btw cheesecake, can consider river city @ excelsior hotel also. ever attended a wedding there before, find it not bad. price is reasonable & near city hall mrt also. http://www.singaporebrides.com/venue/starling/river_city.htm

every wedding expense is shared by me & hubby. cos he gg to take his degree soon so have to share cost. moreover, i feel good to give my mom money. a form of gratitude for bringing me up!

thanks again Dina My mom not asking for any tables & we planning to give $2888 pinjin. Dunno if it's enuff? Of cos, I do hope to give $8888 if I can lah...

drinking session? or homes visiting? !!

i am now considering novotel liao cos number of tables keep increasing. like the high ceiling & pillarless phoenix ballroom. for all who are considering, can go to the wedding fair on 1st sep http://www.singaporebrides.com/temp/novotel.htm

eh dina...u mean u serve tea to them during the banquet ah? or did the hotel give u another function room to have a tea ceremony?

wow cheesecake u really very young lo. when i was ur age, marriage didnt even cross my mind!

kinda disappointing cos we liked the chandeliers & long march in... was even prepared to put deposit. bridal suite was small too...

thank u fifi *blush*

cheesecake... our wedding oso gonna be on a weekday (monday somemore). shld be okie lah. inviting only relatives, colleagues (who can come straight from work) & close frens lo. a lot of pp dun like to go out on weekends oso mah. maybe will do tea ceremony on sunday like zirkh

went to the HIPV wedding workshop ydy... agree tt the ballroom not tt nice. cos one side is low ceiling & wif big pillars. too bad, cos the chandeliers were quite nice.

shucks... to be honest, my hubby is the more romantic one. not on material stuff lah but gestures-wise, he's more affectionate. i'm the level headed & practical one. i'd choose a new HP over a very expensive meal. would rather picnic on sentosa! maybe my hubby married me cos i not so demanding materialistically?

can you help to counsel my hubby? i know i am not making things any better if i hide inside my heart. when i have the courage i will try to bring up the topic. hopefully it won't make things worse

fifi care to share where your AD was held? any review on the service, price, food...?

we gg for a workshop first. anyone interested to go too? $25 per couple. http://www.fycs.org/index.cfm?gpid=108

hahaha very difficult to ignore him leh. my heart very soft.

how to teach him lesson? i went drinking wif frens ydy & got home ard 1am. didnt call or sms him. he oso never call & sms me. anyway am planning to go for marriage counselling.

so big...best wld be to get big TV & big sofa heh heh heh design wise, depends on ur home layout (which we dunno) & preference (zen, contemporary, manhattan...?)

found one page on it & am contemplating gg for marriage counselling. http://fcd.ecitizen.gov.sg/PopularTopics/C...8July+07%29.htm

i did evaluate on myself before. tt's why i started to give him more space & kept quiet whenever he goes out to enjoy. just tt i dun comprehend why he doesnt at least inform me what time he coming back. difference btw me & ms chicken is tt ms chicken nags but i didnt even ask or confront him on this. if he's bz bcos of work, i wld try not to disturb him. he assumes tt housework is my responsibility & claims tt he was "helping me" when he was hanging the clothes one day. argued lah but resolved it pretty quickly eventually. it pains me as well when he kept stressing on the importance of helpers room when we were discussing our wedding dinner (so tt he can keep drinking wif his frens after the wedding). like our wedding is more for him & his frens liddat. tt's why i eliminated all the 5-star hotels liao. all these unhappiness i just keep in my heart lah, at least liddat still have peace in the marriage. just dunno which day i will erupt only. we gotta noe each other in 04, got tog in 05 & rom this yr (jan).

how many tables are u having? if i'm not wrong, grand shanghai requires 20-26 tables. thot of having a "shanghai night" theme too. not a new idea but find it nice if guests turn up in oriental dressing then have a "best dressed" award haha. tt place got singers too, so nice, but it's quite expensive for a restaurant leh. read some webbie tt a couple had their wedding dinner there & had free seating. quite interesting. ya i oso scared of divorce (can see in other thread) tt's why dunwan to spend so much. ok kidding kidding but of cos, there are pp who earn quite a lot & if they dun hold at 5-star hotels, maybe pp will talk behind their back? if so, then oso bobian...
