After more surveys, we have more headache with more choices! But nonetheless, our mind are much set for some of the them

Venue
We checked out Overseas at JayaOne again. Overall, it was not bad a place and the pricing is among all the best deal. When we thought JayaOne is the One, we went to see Extra Super Tanker at BU. The place is very new and indeed has the best decoration in the list. Bier likes it very much (and so do I), so I guess you guys will be attending the wedding there

Bridal fair is hell, so don’t go unprepared We went to one at Mid Valley on the 20th June, and we both swear that we are not going to another one ever again. One of the stalls held us up for 2 hours and had no intention to let us go until I showed them total-black face. Anyway, none so far beat Fabulous Chapter

For location, we think Faber Hill sounds great since it is cool and the environment is what we would like. Haven’t decide when will be photo-taking session yet though

Gown and coat
Didn’t get the coat from G2000 as Bier is stingy haha kidding! It is still quite some times away so we can wait for next round of discounts. Bier checked out a few Bridal shops in SS2 and she sure look superb in some of the wedding gowns Rental fee is sky high for the nicer one, you get what you pay. Anyway, no rush in making the final decision, so will still continue shopping around.

Actual day photography
We have decided that we won’t be getting professional service for this (budget reason) Will ask couple of close friends to take some snapshots and video too since Bier has videocam herself.

It’s good to plan a year before so we can have more choices and less stress out! We have almost covered the few most important aspects, and can relax towards the wedding day! By the way, our registration day is only 2months+ away

First update on the planning!

Venue
Tai Thong – Subang – 20th June 2010
Oriental Pavillion – Jaya33 (PJ) – 26th June 2010
We have great dilemma on which one to choose. Bier prefers Jaya33 for the higher stage, “doughnut” backdrop (ask her for details) and better reviews on food. As for Tai Thong, the place has nicer decorations, their staff are friendlier and food is alright too. I have no actual specific preference between these two, except a matter of better deal

Pre wedding photography
We love the works of Fabulous Chapter! We will be meeting them this coming Saturday to see what they can offer. Though pricey than others, there is no doubt about his work! Go check it out yourselves!

Gown and coat
Bier hasn’t really start shopping for her gown apart from checking/asking around for options. I guess we have to start soon hor? As for coat, we found an almost perfect one at G2000 last night! Why almost perfect? Cos when we were about to pay for it, Bier noticed a threadless mark near the pocket Luckily she has good eyes and the salesgal will check with other branches if they have another similar one. Oh well, keep our finger crossed!

Actual Day photography
We sorta have a shortlisted candidate in mind for this, but also still deciding whether we really need one or not. You may check out his work here. Price is reasonable, FYI.

That’s all I could think of so far Will update later when there is any!

We have chosen a few dates for our actual day in 2010 through the Net. Yea, you heard it right! Internet is one of the greatest inventions ever for mankind Our more preferrable dates will be 20th and 26th June, so everyone marks your calendar now!

Though it is like almost one year away, we are already starting to plan the necessities. Only when you step into it, you realize how much arrangement is required and how many decision you need to make. Luckily, bier’s parents aren’t too fussy about the ceremony/traditions, so we save lots of efforts and brain-cracking there.

Come back often to see what are we doing, of course if you are interested Stay tuned for the invitation!

What’s so special with the date? Apart from a nice number that we won’t come across again in our life, it is the day we will be having our marriage registration We tried to get a slot at Putrajaya JPN, but it was full since don’t know when. They actually opened the application for that date in March! Luckily my bier managed to get through JPN at PJ and they still have open slots! That branch usually do registration from Monday to Wednesday and that special date is Wednesday How lucky we are, hor bier hor?

Know what, a lesson learned here that I should note down so that it can be passed on to my single friends or even my future children haha! DO ask the girl’s parents for her hand even though you have known them for long and well. It is a respect as well as courtesy. I missed that step and bier’s parents didn’t want to agree to our registration at first Fortunately, we paid a visit to them one weekend and asked for their permission “formally” After couple of tough “questions”, they agreed Sigh of relief and happiness!

We are getting married bier bier!

It has been secretly planned for a couple of months and it finally happened on the 26th of April 2009. Although it didn’t have the most romantic ambience, but it was certainly a memorable, special and shy moment for both of us! After 2 days of tiring climb to the highest peak of SEA, the hard work wasn’t wasted! Luckily bier was fit enough to stay with me throughout the trip

If you are very interested to know what I said to bier, try turn up your speaker volume to the max or ask me for the script. I might put it up at request
