if given me hor, my aunty sure wont let me go also. She is those very pantang one also.
I know you will feel that it's not very nice of her cause she is ur bestest friend. just take it easy and handle ur wedding which is ur utmost piority.

Niwa
Thanks. We really have to prevent lor. I cannot afford to let such thing happen the 5th time.
She is only 10mths. Cannot educate her about falling!!

Melissa
Actualyl she knows how to come down from backside after her 1st fall. Thats why the previous 3 falls she landed on her butt cuase she tries to come down of bed. But this time she held my window grill and walk to end of bed. She thought can continue so dropped onto the floor.

 

[madeleine]

havng bad gastric today cause i skip breakfast but when i feel abit pain i quickly went down to buy breakfast. who knows it's too late.
When i having lunch i feel the pain think cause my pants too tight!! Argghh haven really go and buy maternity pants. Later gng raffles place maternity shop to have a look. My current pants i will have to unbutton it. feeling way too uncomfortable.

 

[mummygirl]

adeline, maybe should get those thin mattress to put onto the floor and let her sleep there? So she wouldn't fall down. Bed is so high. quite dangerous.

 

[bellebeins]

Jenifur,

Thanks for encouragement...anyway i found someone else to witness for mi...was upsetting but well... i dont want to let myself upset over such matters anymore...


Adeline,

Yes the top of my list is my wedding...actually its only a ROM ...too rush to do a proper church wedding also... and would rather save the money for bb now... most impt for mi to have a great marriage than a grand wedding..

<font color="aa00aa">Isabel,

My wedding isnt grand either. I didnt have any restaurant dinner but i did self decoration at a chalet and did everything exactly like restaurant with 2 layered cake, yum seng everything but of cause no air-condition.
My ROM was very simple with just my family members.

 

[bellebeins]

My ROM will just be held at a function room at the hotel I'm working at... The most i will invite is 50 pax... nothing fancy..till now also have not get my dress... Just the ceromony then buffet lunch...

Wanting to get a Pastor at first but the wedding coordinator said something like "We don't entertain such unusual request".. I decided not to get the pastor but a Justice of Peace.. I know that its a shot gun marriage but I dont think i need anyone to entertain my request..

 

[ryan_mummy]

Isabel: if u r christian, then u need to get ur pastor. if catholic, need to be church wedding.
dun compromise on ur religion.

 

[dernemi]

<font color="aa00aa">adeline,
is it...hee....we sama sama.......

asked abt the Mt.E maternity package liao. 20wks then sign their pre-maternity n delivery package duno how much?</font>

 

[dernemi]

<font color="aa00aa">adeline,
my ROM also like u, juz my family members n inlaws members only</font>

 

[madeleine]

Isabel
dont think so negatively.
The reason why i didnt have any grand wedding is exactly the same as you.
Thats why i got married at a young age as well but what is most impt is that we are responsible for what we done.
Just have a memorable marriage! Everything will turn out great. Bless you.

See this link. Just about 4 pics on my wedding but was last year..

[ryan_mummy]

adeline: nice... btw, ur wedding can c tummy or not arh?


hb n i was planning 4 wedding last yr. then july hb decided to get frisky. so i ended up 10wks preggy now. my mom is worried abt the tummy showing.
I also changed my gown size le.

My wedding ehh... quite like normal ppl de. morning till nite. so i cannot hide much. lots entertaining to do...

 

[veryhappy]

yeah agree with Adeline, don't get too hung up on wedding. marriage is more important. wedding is only a 1 day thing but marriage is forever. i was seriously attached with my hubby for 3 months and we got engaged for 7 months but our marriage outlasted everything, stepping into 5th year already. so i am very proud of it.

 

[madeleine]

Petrina
nope cannot see yet. That time i was about 3 to 4mths preggy.
u mean ur traditional not over yet?

 

[bellebeins]

Adeline,

Thanks for sharing with mi your pics... very nice leh u done up the chalet..

Petrina,

I am not compromising on my religon.. Is jus tat for the time being I think I get the ROM out of the way then later after giving birth. I will do a church wedding..

Melissa,

I agree with you... there is nothing more than i want to have a good marriage with my darling..thats all.. growing old together...standing by each other...

 

[madeleine]

Isabel
The decos are not ez. I had my HB's best friend and buddies to help me. If not i cant climb up and down to do it all by myself.
All self made. Most impt is that i enjoyed the process. Though simple yet fun. I hope that you will too.

 

[bellebeins]

I hope i enjoy mine also...but feeling lost sometimes..I still have not efile my marriage somemore, have not gotten rings then also have not find the dress...

ay yo... shang nio jin oh..

 

[madeleine]

Isabel
It's like this one cause u not sure where to start with.
I will say file ur marriage 1st (priority), Meanwhile u can actually go to various jewellery shops to get ur wedding ring. After that plan ur venue for ROM and get a pastor so that you are able to advice them on ur venue without any hesitation.
See once those steps are done, slowly search for ur dress and maybe get ur HB to help u with catering.

Just my opinion. Try to figure out if that works.
Too many things at a time sure confuse. So u will have to plan it out!

 

[bellebeins]

Adeline,

Thanks alot... and the other girls..your advise has been most helpful..

 

[bellebeins]

Adeline,

[bellebeins]

Petrina,

Ya i will look more into the bridal packages..

BTW girls,

when is the best time to start doing the pre-natal massages?? Feel like asking my mil to start doing but is it too early?
... my back aching so much these days..

 

[lushqueen]

Isabel, when I went for my facial last week, they told me ard 5 months then can do pre-natal massages. If u ask your mil to rub lightly should be fine lah.

I also having backaches and it is near the tailbone area...dunno issit kena slight sprain.

 

[twinklestars]

i went to cut my hair the other day...the hair stylist says ok to do straightening but not colouring. His advice was to use natural hair dye(no chemicals) but downside was the effect will only be about 2 months... i have grey hair too but i think i'll ren for the sake of baby...

 

[niwababy]

isabel, i used makingfaces.com for my rom (back in 2002).... long long time ago. LOL. The makeup artiste is very popular, if u pop by singaporebrides.com you will have more info on ROM/Bridals.

Take care, wedding is not easy to setup, let alone now u have so many other things to worry. the impt thing is to be happy. Sometimes, u cannot think too much abt money/cost, things will straighten out (what's the chinese proverb? the bridge will straighten out when boat reaches it??)


go where for pre-natal massages? got recommendation?

twinklestars, thanks for the info, what are natural hair dye, wonder which hair salons provide natural hair dye. i think i got to resort to cutting out each strand of hair.

i think preggy - must also nid to look good, and feel good.

 

[sunnysun]

[alynnk]

isabel, so gd, ur mil will massage for you.

 

[alynnk]

isabel,
enjoy planning for ur wedding. I really enjoyed my wedding dinner so much that everytime i see bridal studio or wedding gowns, i will tell my hubby that I wan get married again. But my hubby think it is tiring. haha! It is a once in the lifetime thingy. Just make sure u r happy and have nuthin to regret. I only have one regret. I wish I had MTM gown instead of off the rack gown.

 

[ryan_mummy]

babypink, i can recommend. she is TCM highly recommended for slimming, *being fat for any reason* she can cure de. be obedient n eat her medicine regularly n come for accu regularly can le.
Eg: fat because water retention, sick, post-natal etc...

 

[mummygirl]

anyone start to feel breathless in 2nd trimester already? I heard the breathlessness will worsen in 2nd trimester.

 

[lavengal]

mummyboy,

yes, yes.. i'm been feeling breathless lately. thought it was due to too much talking at my part..hee hee.. When do you usually feel it?

 

[liewb]

mummyboy,
I'm feeling it too. Just a short walk to the market and I'll be panting. I wonder if it's a sign that I shld start some exercise.

My hubby had signed up some yoga classes for me..those for preggy. Has anyone try those before?? Is it any good?? I'm a bit skeptical coz I'm not really a yoga person.

isabel,
Everything will fall into place. And yes, we all went through all that pre-marriage frenzy to get all the things together. I think of it as like a treasure hunt.. lol

Just remember that no matter how you plan, something will not go accordingly. During my banquet, some waiter dropped some soup on my coll's hair..how bad is that right and that was in a respectable hotel.

So just relax, don't freak out when something goes wrong coz chances are no one will notice it except u.
