Hi all guests,

I have changed the commenting system.. as some guests commented that the adding comments is not possible... so I changed the commenting system. (thanks for the feedback).

The new commenting system ( !joomlacomment) is really great and its AJAX functionality makes the whole commenting system so responsive and nice :)

Please feel free to add comments or exchange pointers with us :) 

 I attach below what I found online and hopefully this will be helpful to anyone who will be writing invitation cards next time :).

After several months of anticipation, our families finally met up for a food tasting session at Marina Mandarin on Monday!

Wei Siang and I had been feeling jittery days before the dinner date, for the fact that his parents' have yet to meet up with my parents for a formal dinner session since we started dating 10 years ago! When we started dating, I was only 17! Furthermore, my parents weren't very happy with us way back then, as we were supposed to schooling rather than going into a boy-girl relationship! Hee hee!

I was still feeling worried that our parents may not click well with one another; as it was afterall, their 1st meeting. I guess my fear was unfounded for, as they were happily conversing with one another even before the 1st dish was served! Subsequently, my future mother-in-law brought up the topic on the bride-price to my parents. I was touched when my dad commented that the bride-price didn't matter to him; so long as I have found someone who could take care for me for life! Afterall, I am my daddy's precious girl! Oh no, I think I am going to miss my parents dearly after my wedding! Sigh.

During the dinner session, our wedding coordinator Wendy passed us some wedding favour samples for our guests on our wedding day. There were 2 new wedding favours to choose from; which were a glass coaster and silver coloured picture frame. We were undecided on the choice of wedding favour, as the glass coaster looked plain and didn't seem attractive to us at first sight. Moreover, the sharp edges of the square coaster might accidentally cut young guests if mishandled. We didn't really like the metal picture frame too. We also gave up the choice of giving edible wedding favours to guests i.e. pineapple tarts and heart-shaped chocolates..

Here's 2 of the Wedding Favours!

Overall, we were very pleased with our wedding menu, and were satisfied with the food course. One special mention was the sharks fin, as it came along with a lot of fish maw and scallops! Slurp! Another food item was the smoked tea duck which was highly complimented by our parents. =)

However, there were mixed opinions on the choice of deserts, as my parents preferred the yam with Ginko Nuts rather than our initial choice of mango sago with ice-cream. We are still in the process of confirming the dessert menu with the Hotel.... so I will keep the final choice confidential for the time being! =)

I finally confirmed my "brothers" for my big day.

They are Soon Hock, Soo Horng, Jian Fa and Guo Sheng.

They will be my "Big 4" for my Big Day!

I am so glad when the 4 of them said they can make it, phew.... so relieved, and I am lucky that it did not clash with Soo Horng's Sydney trips.

I must apologize for ppl whom I did not choose, it's not that you are not important in my life, just that I can only choose 4, hope u can understand lah... so the only thing that I need from you is to enjoy the banquet on 3rd of May... yep...

Let's see whether Shu Jun will disclose her list here... she got so many good friends.. haizz... i think she's having a headache on her ideal "sisters" nomination....

Forgot to pen this into my blog entry...

We have finally chosen our Justice of Peace to preside during our solemnisation ceremony - Mr Chan Kai Yau!

Actually, we didn't have any idea as to selecting the right JP for our ceremony, as there was a long list to choose from the ROM Website. As usual, we decided to source for information online via the Singaporebrides website for good JP recommendations.

From the website, I found that Mr Chan's name had been mentioned numerous times in the 'good JP recommendations' threads. We were unclear on why he was so popular as JP for many couples, as he didn't sound extraodinary during my teleconversation with him. In fact, he spoke with a deep, firm tone and merely asked for my wedding ad and timing though I thought I was conversing with him in a visibly friendly tone.

I have pulled out an extract on the recommendation made by a fellow Singaporebride Gerlaine on Mr Chan as a good JP below:

Yeap he is quite serious actually but do carry a sense of humour in his speech...friends and parents were impressed. And most importantly, i feel Chinese vows are more meaningful too! Me and my hubby nearly teared during the vows. So can really consider.

Mr Chan is one of the few JPs who bother to meet up with couples to sign the agreement letter and to talk to couples about marriage and all. Me and hubby felt very appreciative of a nice gesture like this.
