Well,
We have confirmed out wedding venue! Changi Village Hotel
We've also almost confirmed our photographers and videographers. We're doing something that normally couples might not do!
We're still looking out for our bridal boutique, hopefully we can finalise 1 by next week.
For our rings... We need to think about our design. I am working in a jewellery company called Far East Gems and Jewellery. We do customized rings, earrings, necklaces, bangles and many more. We also deal in stones like rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, etc.
For our door gifts, expect a suprise!
Anyway, I hope we get everything done early, so we don't have to rush...

Hi everyone, just to spice things up, here's some good food!

Cost: $3.50 onwards
Auntie Judy's power Fried Fish Soup
Uncle Adrian's Mee Hoon Quay with Power Mince meat.

Meeting more people!
It's the Easter Weekend!
We went to meet up with Huiying's niece and her husband today. They kindly let us have a look at their house!
Very intelligent concept. Theres this part of the house where there was a glass wall facing the TV area. They later explain that that room would be the Nursery and the glass wall would make taking care of their future baby easier.
Talk about a custom designed house!
Another thing special about their house was their lighting. They had chandelier on top of their dining table. They also had a custom made dining table which had a really cool glass table top! One of those with designs.
Its such a good feeling to own your own house. I don't know how express it, but its really a great feeling.
These few days, alot has been going through my head. Some people say, marriage is just a paper. I really think they missed the point.
To me, marriage is really like a whole new kind of life. Where a man really grows up to become a husband, a father figure. A time of promotion!
I always looked up to my father, Mr Tay Thye Sun. He a great man, great husband, great father. Now its my turn, seems like a really BIG responsibility.
My father is humorous man. Rather, he is a man of great courage, strength, integrity, creativity, love, wisdom, character, brains, you name it, he has it.
And to think, marriage has started me on this journey of becoming a man like that. I have a lot to learn.
Huiying has been a great help these few weeks as I constantly try to study hard / work hard. Many times her words of wisdom really helped me to pull myself through and to continue to move on.
I guess if you look at marriage from only a man's point of view its going to be unbalanced and impossible.
Putting a woman in the picture kind of balances things out. E.g. When I'm overwhelmed by circumstances and feel all hope is lost, Huiying would come and give me a strong and good kick in the butt *figuratively* and I would be "Oh, why was I acting like that? This sounds doable!"
Sometimes she needs my guts. Sometimes I need her love. Sometimes she needs my smile. Sometimes we need each other.
We've been doing the budget together, its been great.
"A tip for couples, for financial issues, please treat it professionally, talk it out, discuss and learn about each other. It's a great time to find out about each other. Don't waste the opportunity quarreling over money." Uncle Kun's Tip of the Day
Anyway, its late, I'm tired, but I'm happy. Its Easter Weekend, thanks to Jesus, I can do all things.

A penny for my thoughts
Ok, now to write down the details of what actually happened last week.
Monday.
We went to HDB for our first appointment of our flat. For those of you who are going to get a flat from HDB, get prepared to bring (please don't quote me, just what I had to bring)
1. Marriage Cert
2. NRIC (both parties)
3. Your HLE letter
4. Both parties birth certs
5. Both your parents have to be around
6. Parent's marriage cert
7. Have a joint account in case your monthly CPF contribution is not enough for the installments
Tuesday
We met up with a wedding planner, apparently she's one of the local actresses. Anyway it was a fun meet up, get to know what she did and also share about what we do. She showed us one of the weddings she did, it was pretty good! They even customized the plates, cutlery, decor the table etc. Very nice work.
Thursday
We met up with a photographer and videographer. Their work is pretty good, we appreciate the value of their services. But its quite alot, looks worth it.
Anyway, we personally don't like those wedding packages that bridal studios offer. They give you a certain number of photos, you would have to pay extra for any addition. But this guy, he would give you all the photos he shot on the day, which is quite good.
Till the next time...

Wedding Planners Anyone?
Well, me and Huiying have been toying with the thought of having a wedding planner. I really wonder if its really worth money. I believe so, because somebody else would be responsible for making all the necessary arrangements.
Anyway, I've been front selling our wedding program, and today I shall highlight 1 of them.
The Best Love story contest. We are calling all our friends to come prepared to tell their love story! For both couples and singles! The best (maybe best 3) would receive some prizes.
We thought that why not let there be an atmosphere of love around, and also for everyone to exchange love ideas and ways to express love through a simple and fun contest...
Anyway, back to wedding planners, I dropped an email to 1 wedding planner and got a pleasant surprise!
Anyone with some comments, please share your comments about wedding planners...thanks!

Changi Village Hotel Confirmed!
Well, they just confirmed and drafted out the contract for us.
For all people who are going to get married, hotels draft out contracts for you with regards to the wedding dinner(bookings, food, drinks, freebies). I wish I can get a lawyer to look at it for me. ha!
It looks simple though. Hmmm...
Anyway I think next week we would and look around for gowns and stuff, got to finalise a date with Huiying.
I guess, its time to get creative with my finances.
Want to know what's gonna happen during our wedding?
Find out soon!

Serving each other
I still remember our vows we made when we ROMed.
Cherish. seldom hear this word being used these days.
To serve each other. To love your wife. To serve your husband.
Some good things to remember.
Now we're thinking of engaging a wedding planner, to help us iron out our plans to make this wedding a memorable, fun and good one.
Anyone want a preview of the events that are going to happen?
:)
