BTB 2008!!!

I'm getting married soon! Moi will be a Bride-To-Be in Yr 2008. And my actual date will most probably falls on the 19 December 2008. (^.^) Yippee!!!

At the same time, Shirlin has already fixed her Big Day on the 05 December 2008, and I shall be her "jie-mei". Wow, this is "Double-happiness" indeed, hee... Happy for her.

I'm feeling both excited and nervous at the same time, some mixed feelings initially... excited because this is a once-in-a-life time event, and so many things to prepare, plus I'm excited about my wedding gown. Nervous because, well.... just can't believe this is coming true after 4 years plus. So much things have happened during this 4 years plus, and at one point, I thought we would never approach this stage of our life, but well.... life is full of the unexpected, isn't it? And that is what I Love about Life.

Right now, I'm focusing all my energy on the preparation & only of the happy things. After all, I would want to appear radiant on my big day.

The thought of sharing with all my friends about this good news is what prompted me to create this blog, and thus in the forth coming months. I shall be updating on the wedding preparation itself and this will definately be a very memorable keepsake for many years to come. Afterall, its every women's dream to be a bride... & I feel so blissful.

Currently, our most crucial task is to finalise the AD and get the hotel venue confirm. So far, we've only viewed the ballroom at Swissotel The Stamford, and my baobei was very impressed with the high ceiling ballroom and lighting technology. When we went down to view, there was a JC D&D held in the night. But we managed to view it before the event starts. I personally also like the ballroom alot, as its pillarless and it seems spacious. Whereas before that, I've went down alone to Holiday Inn Park View Hotel for viewing. It was not too bad, but it seems kindof weird that the ballroom has a high ceiling in one portion whereas the extension part has a lower ceiling. But I must say that I like the gothic style crystal chandelier that gives out a romantic vibe.. which is the only reason I'v decided to go down for viewing. The wedding coordinator that I met up with was a pleasant young lady. And overall, the perks was not too bad, and they are having some promotion of discount of $1,000.00 of the overall bill if we sign up during this month. But I was thinking... we should not decide in a haste, and to keep our options open, despite that we really want that particular date. Haiz.... wedding banquet preparation is indeed a headache at times....

This coming friday, we will be going down to Grand Plaza Park Royal to view the ballroom too. This particular hotel has some rave reviews at the SgBride forum, hopefully it will exceed my expectation and give me some surprises afterall, as I'm pretty pleased with the wedding package perks compared to STS, as the latter doesn't have free beer & wine for perks. Which I forseen this as an additional costs to our wedding. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed.
