Okie. Well, honestly I dunno who you are out there who’s reading this, but if you are one of those who have been wondering about our wedding plans, here’s an update.

THE INITIAL BIG IDEA

Our initial plan was to rent an Aloha resort (those big bungalow type like the Fairy Point chalets, SAF chalet), dress it up into a wonderland (like Hensel and Gretel), have all the kids dressed as angels, elves, fairies, have colourful cakes and drinks, have ALL our guests dress up according to the fairytale theme (if not we won’t let them in) and award a best dressed prize at the end of the day. Of cos, jw and I will be the Prince & Princess for the day. Giao jie (jw’s cousin cum my make up artiste) said she will be my Fairy Godmother for that day. Keke.

Well, that WAS the plan.

Alas SAF chalets are under renovation, Fairy Point chalets are fully taken up from end Dec to New Year, and Aloha took more than 2 weeks to finally reply me and they said weddings are NOT PERMITTED in their chalets during school holidays. I wonder what kind of rule is that. But well, they should have told me earlier or at least give me a contact number when I enquired. But they didn’t. They said I HAVE to wait for them to call me. Oh well. So, I think we ain’t going ahead for this.

THE NEXT BIG IDEAS

We also explored the idea of a yacht wedding, which sounds perfect for us. Got quotations for Harbour Queen and Fair Princess and SAF Yacht Club. But, either the price was too steep, or the number of guests is so limited (150pax), or regulations too strict (like they say 1 BABY = 1 PAX charge for the buffet even if he drinks milk all the way), causing us to have some hesitation about it. I think we would love to invite as many people as possible! Firstly we are the kind who love a BIG party and love to invite all our friends/families to share in our joy. Secondly, he has been away for so long and it’ll be good for him to catch up with friends he hasn’t seen in such a long time. Too bad, we ain’t filthy rich or we will cater a cruiser! Keke.

We also explored hotels (my fav is Changi Village Hotel, poolside, where Alan Tern and Priscelia Chan just held their wedding) and country clubs. Prices are not cheap (almost like a customary wedding dinner), and if you want peripheral things like DJs/Games Emcees/ Sound system/Wedding décor/Wedding theme, everything comes at an additional cost. Well well. Not to mention if we wish to invite many people, the price will sky rocket. So, I think the chalet idea is still the BEST. Haha. Can stay over for at least 3D2N, can DIY all our décor and add in our personal touch, can invite as many people as we want, can jam music all the way, can have overflowing booze all night long, can play rowdy games, can KTV, can play mj/cards. That’s very OUR style. Simple, cheap, casual, party style, wild, non-conforming. =p BINGO.

But well, seems like plans are stalled at the moment. We are considering to push back the ROM and hold it together with our customary in June/July next year. Maybe that’ll be good too. No need to hold on separate occasions, no need for our guests to headache over to give ang pow anot, no need to plan twice. Agree? Hey, if any of you has any good lobang/idea, sms me ley. Hehe. We welcome all ideas. =)

Till then, we’ll keep our friends/families posted on our final decision. Hehe. One thing is for sure though. We ARE going to get married, one way or another. Good things are always worth waiting. Cheerio.
