1st session with Lola/Laura, the designer..

 

The ladies choosing their pics & family portraits

 

Grand?

Does the venue of the banquet determines if a wedding is grand?

the piles of rejects

I think we were quite ruthless when it came to rejecting the pictures.

the pictures are out........

That's us with the selected pictures!
According to our photographer David, he took close to 1000 pictures of us and family. took us hours to go through the pile of pictures. We step into the studio at 3pm and left the place at only 9.20pm.

I confess that I was really, really worried about the pictures after our photoshoot. We even discussed abt the possibility of re-taking the pictures. But i must now say, I am quite pleased with David's work. He may look kinda ah beng (wx words), but he does noe his stuff. But of cos, what pleases me may not be for another person. my mum for one think they r "hhmm....ok lor" and my sis was more interested in her own pictures.

Yvonne must have gone home a happy woman last nite. She's our coordinator btw. We were much poorer when we left the studio. She said she expected us to go all the way to 10k!?? (this is additional top up we are talking about, excluding the package amount ok..) Mad.... I wasn't willing to spend so much on pictures, 3 k was my max and i was trying hard to convey that message to weesiong by punching hard on the calculator and shoving it in his face. but the sweetie decided it's once in a lifetime and he wants me to have the pictures. Aww.....i vow to be more docile and sweet from now on..

so there...we prob have to eat grass for a couple of months and looks like we ain't gg anywhere for honeymoon. not straight away I mean. At the crazy rate we are spending on the house reno and wedding prep, we are going broke soon. I thank God i m not a woman into details. imagine if i m, the cost will only keep escalating.

a room wif 2 doors.

Can u tell this is the same room as the one posted below?

The reno has finally started!

After months of waiting, pondering and dragging, the renovation has finally started early tis week. The door you see above no longer exist! It's gg to be relocated to make the dining area slightly more spacious. The kitchen right wall is also gone, wiring is going to be done by sunday and wet works by next week! Everything is moving forward smoothly.

More shopping this weekend...argh.........

I hear u ....and u....

Sorry Jean, no pics from photo shoot. I have not seen them myself and m worried sick that they will turn out crappy. u noe me, i freeze infront of the camera. I'll prob get to see them next week according to the studio people. All I can say is, it was fun, for myself and I think the girls in my family ie. my mum, sis- in-law and esp my sis. We had family pics taken and couple shots for the rest of them. The disappointing thing was that we spent too much time in the studio and too little time outdoor. We much prefer outdoor but bcos of time constraint, we only managed 2 locations. But from that 2 locations, i got 25 mozzie bites! Got my mum darn worried, with all the dengue stuff going on. So there she was slapping all sorts of cream over my arms and back. My bro also got worried and fed me pills and some tasteless liq. Rather heart warming to see them so sweet n concerned.

As for u irene, i will now bring my camera along with me, wherever i go and most imptly, rem to take pics.
