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?
:)
