Progress!

Finally some progress on my journey to a Mrs. We got the dates from the sifu and so we picked 6th October. Why so fast? Many people asked. It's for all you people's sake! You want me to cramp my wedding with everyone else on December?! You guys will complain about tons of weddings to attend and sulk all the way because you're broke for paying ang paos.

And because I'm not having dinner banquet like any other people, so I do not need to wait in line to fight with other people for spaces in restaurant. I can have my wedding dinner ANYTIME I want, so I feel October is the best time, people will attend my dinner happier because they're not broke yet.

So you people please stop saying I'm pregnant! Geez! Just because we want to get things done fast doesn't mean I'm pregnant ok?! What kind of mindset is that? Driving a local car doesn't mean you're poor because you might have spent the money wisely in properties. Totting a designer handbag doesn't mean you're rich because you might have spent all your money buying the bloody bag and your purse is empty. A young girl carrying a baby doesn't mean she got pregnant as a teenager, she might be the aunt of the baby! Only shallow people will look at things at the surface and make judgment! Getting married is supposed to be a happy occasion, why wanna inject negative elements? 

....

Why am I so angry =_= This post is supposed to be happy. Ok where was I?

Oh ya, the dates. Initially we wanted our ROM to be on Alvin's birthday, which is a Tuesday. But upon submitting our forms to the people in the temple, they said we can register on weekends too. So again for the sake of our friends and family's convenience, we changed the date to 27th May (Sunday) See!!! We are one hell of a good couple! Our marriage is basically set for everyone's convenience! But yet people backlash us with criticism! *UNLEASH THE BRIDEZILLA*

ROARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it is confirmed that our ROM will be on 27th May 2012, Sunday at 9.30am. I will be a sleepy bride with puffy eyes and face O_o!!!

Our number 103, lucky number shall I say?

Another check on my to do list is the wedding dinner at Delicious Marc Residence. It will be on 13th October, a week after the morning ceremony on 6th October. I do not intend to have the dinner a day after or on the day of the ceremony because we will have buffet twice at Alvin's house organized by his parents. Once on the night before the big day, and another one on the big day itself after the morning ceremony. We will be so dead tired =__= I need at least a week break.

I know my girls will like the dessert corner so much!

After so many posts about my wedding, I think I missed out one very important thing. THE RING!!!!!

NOT THIS RING!

I guess it's every girl's dream to have a Tiffany & Co's wedding ring, but sometimes it's not just about the brand, it's about the price too *KA-CHING* I used to pass by a shop called Love & Co in The Gardens and I was wowed by the pretty rings displayed in front of the shop. So when it was my time to pick a wedding ring, I did not even browse other brands. Straight I went to Love & Co, and found the ring that I wanted. Shall not disclose the ring and keep it as a surprise until ROM day XD

 

As for the pre wedding photos, after contacting a few top wedding photographers like Daren Chong and Dennis Yap, their quotations are within my budget and their photos are magnificent, but it is the inconvenience that gowns are not provided. I went through the hassle of searching for gowns rental and custom made shops. There are so many to do! And I ALREADY have a lot to do!

Hence I gave up and went to My Dream Wedding, a famous name in Hong Kong. And if you haven't heard of it yet, the ambassadors are the famous couple, Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong. Oh! And AngelaBaby too. She paraded their wedding gowns on the runway. But come on, anything can look nice on her, even a piece of rug =_= Their photos are not bad, and their platinum collection gowns are made of Swavroski crystal! LOVE!!!!!!!! They are so gorgeous!!!

The infamous wedding photos of Myolie and Bosco for My Dream Wedding.

Anything can look pretty on AngelaBaby!

I went to browse for Armadale Wedding Studio too, for comparison. I found out their name in bridal forum, everyone recommended them. I prefer their concept over My Dream Wedding, to be honest. But the consultant did not show me enough samples to convince me. Or shall I say, she did not say much to convince me =___= I sat down, she gave me the price menu without explaining anything. Clicked clicked the computer to show me some of the unedited photos of their clients. I guess they were in a hurry to go back home.

She left us halfway and I had to click the computer myself to browse more pictures! WTH! Coincidently Alvin's friend is working there as the designer. If she did not came over to talk to us more, I would have left straight away. If the consultant did put more effort talking to me, I would be convinced and sign up with Armadale. Too bad, I went back to My Dream Wedding.

The package that I signed up with them is inclusive of the Swavroski gown! Weee!!!! I can't wait to try it! I asked Alvin why did he picked My Dream Wedding over Armadale. I thought he would prefer their concept like I do. And so he replied, "Because you like the crystal gown." ... *tears of emo-ness*
