Preparation for 过大礼 Ceremony

Posted on May 24th, 2008 at 9:38 pm

Donkey years ago, back in those olden days, 过大礼 is the day whereby the groom-to-be, with the escort of a ”Big Aunt”, will pay visit to the bride-to-be home.  The purpose of the visit is for the groom to present the bridal gifts to his future parent-in-laws and to ascertain the confirmation of the marriage.  In simple words, “Hey!

The 安床 Ceremony will take place on 28 May 2008, Wednesday. Father and Mother picked this auspicious date after checking the almanac a couple of times. Evon and I spent the last couple of days shopping for new bedsheets, pillow casing, quilt and the quilt cover. Everything’s ready and we are ready to rock […]

Posted on May 3rd, 2008 at 11:28 pm

Parents would certainly want to be in their glamorous best when hosting the wedding banquet of their children. Especially so for the Moms. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that they’ll go all out to doll themselves up nicely to qualify for the best-dress award.

Delivery Boy

I was quite glad to be able to hand my wedding invitation cards personally to a handful of ex-colleagues over the last few days. Unfortunately, there will be a handful whom I would have to resort to snail mail because it’s going to be rather difficult to get hold of them.
In the midst of […]

Food Tasting Session

Posted on April 21st, 2008 at 11:23 pm

Just came back from the food tasting session earlier at Hotel Intercontinental. The banquet spread was sumpteous and every dish was very nicely presented. The food portion was just nice. Wait a minute! This is a food tasting session. Naturally, everything has got to be good. Otherwise, it’s probably […]

Wines Wines

Posted on March 23rd, 2008 at 12:20 am

It was really nice of Daren to introduce one of his suppliers to us; knowing that Evon and I had been scouting high and low for red wines to be served at our wedding banquet.
We are planning not to serve white wines because it’s been an observation that the more common beverages include beer, hard […]

Bridal Bed

Posted on March 16th, 2008 at 10:00 pm

For the past 2 weeks, Evon and I had been busy looking around for our bridal bed. We flipped the newspapers, browsed the web and visited several shops at Jurong East IMM. However, there wasn’t anything that caught our fancy.
Earlier this afternoon, we headed down to the industrial area at Sungei Gadut. We took a […]

Gown Fitting - Episode 3

Posted on January 11th, 2008 at 11:30 pm

Despite the rain, Evon and I arrived at Yvonne’s Creative at about 7.15pm.
So this evening, I finally get to try out my tailor-made white pants as well as the suit for the AD.  Goodness!  I think I really do need to go beef up a bit more, especially my shoulder blades.  Everything’s perfect except for the pants […]

Sourcing :: Videographer

Posted on January 7th, 2008 at 11:40 pm

After work, Evon and I dropped by Wedding Paparazzi to check out their quotations for the Wedding Day videography service and at the same time take a look at their portfolio. 
We had a hard time locating the office.  Thankfully, we met a kind soul who showed us the way.  It’s really kinda ”ulu” though.
We viewed a couple […]

Alright, the first blog for the brand new year 2008.  The calendar on the desk says … 6th January 2008.   Oopz!  That means we have only about 148 more days to go before our customary wedding.  Time is running out! … panic …
