My luck has used up so quickly. The only hotel and bridal studio I have visited, I was so satisfied that I do not even have to visit other places. However, I seem unable to find a suitable photographer for AD. Either those that I want are extremely expensive, else they are unavailable. Up till now, searching for days, I still can't find a photographer within my budget.
I thought I was quite lucky to find the 1950 thread in SB,. Yet after they sent me their package, they never even bother to reply me until I sms them 4 days later. This time, the pg's reply was almost instantaneous. He told me he has already sent me an email and tell me he can't even scheduled to meet me because a couple may booked him on my wedding day. Imagine he took 4 days to reply me. If i didnt sms him, i think he can't be bother to reply me.
If I have known that engaging a photographer just for AD is so damn expensive, I would have took up photography, instead of becoming a teacher. I could have been damn rich by being a photographer.

Amara Hotel
I'm fretting over the booking of venue these few days, and luckily Amara Hotel manage to meet all our needs.
We went to visit the poolside yesterday and I specially went down earlier to take photos, in case I need to engage a outside florist for decorations.
On 6th floor, the first thing after you enter the pool area you'll see will be the mini bar.
Next, you will see the buffet lineup and six table settings. However, I have too many people to be placed here so rather it will be placed outside.
Back facing the buffet lineup, you can see a pavilion along the way to the pool. This will be where we are during solemnisation. The tables will be placed around this pavilion.
Further up will be the swimming pool and sauna area. Probably gals, my jie mei men, we will be able to use the sauna together after my traditional wedding!
Well, there are limitations to this poolside wedding. In case of rain, we have to go to the function room at 3rd floor. Also decorations are not provided, we have to pay extra $300 - $400 to get the decor done up. I have to spend additional money to decorate the function room too, in case of rain.
I have arranged another meeting on next wed with the coordinator to finalise details. Finally, I can announce that my wedding will be on 23 Nov 2008!

Extensive Reseach
Well, well, well, after extensive research these 3 days, I've have contacted, emailed restaurants and hotel for availability. Unfortunately, there are only a few worth considerations and few sent me a proposal which they promised. The others either are fully booked, else could not house a hundred. Those who have emailed me are so far these hotels. I probably have to made a decision by this Friday, so hopefully the rest will reply promptly.

Crazy Stunts
With the EE booked in May, I thought that we can go ahead with the booking of our church, yet unfortunately, now then my parent complain.
Complain 1 : Do not want to wear coat, reason being he will be uncomfortable
Complain 2 : Once he walks me into church, he and mum will (probably my side relatives) will walk out of church.
I can imagine now, it will be super embarassing. Yesterday night, I argued with them. This is how much they love me. Issues that they can't stand are not being raised directly when I checked with them, halfway through the preparations then they do stunts. Hurray, I wonder I can still adhere to the date with such a big change, else I might have to postpone my wedding.

Victorian Style Wedding
VT says that I will look good in corsets and suggest a Victorian style wedding gown. I am so excited, therefore I went to look up for some nice Victoria Wedding Gowns. Unfortunately, I can only find two.
pictures taken from bridalcorsets.co.uk & thisnext.com
I love the top corsets of the 2nd picture and the bottom part of the first picture. If these 2 parts combined together, that will be my dream wedding gown!

Visit to Vaugh Tan BS
Finally, we went to VT BS today. If you have taken a look at his website and you will find that it's quite updated and the gown he design are quite unique. Since I am a very online person, therefore those websites which do not update their designs of the gowns turn me off.
The location of the BS was quite accessible, especially for us, since we set off from my place. The place was cosy, and makes you feel at home. The package that was offered to us was quite comprehensive and personalized, since we are not taking any studio shots.
Wedding Package
MTM Wedding gown
MTM tea dress
MTM Groom Suit and Pants
Car decorations x 3
Hair Accessories
Groom Corsages x 2
Parents Corsages x 4
Day Makeup & Hair styling
Afternoon Makeup & Hair styling
Hmm, most likely we will take his package. What attracts me is his friendliness, personalised service, frank opinions and suggestions, and sincerity. I also hate BS who are too pushy, trying to boost their sales. But VT BS makes me feel at ease. I feel so happy after I leave his place. I am sure if I take up his service, he will help MTM the gown that suits me best!
