Chulet wanted to write and share her experience about wedding planning. However, never got around to it… until now. :p

She’s officially happily married now. Hubby is safely trapped in her spiderly web. MUAHAHA… and he have no where to escape… Hehehe…

Chulet’s very lucky as hub is a great sweet kind lovable guy. Ok ok … enough about the gushing. Back to serious business.

So, what about wedding planning?

I’ll try to split this into a basic summary page and then, will write more about each stage later… Bear in mind… this is MY own experience and is no way a professional guide. Remember, it is your wedding after all… Wedding planning is FUN.

Marriage on the other hand… is another subject all together.

I opt to keep this post strictly on Wedding planning. Let’s begin… (I’ve separate it to 6 sections)

What do you do after he proposes?

One

You need to answer him… YES or NO !!

This may seem silly, but, seriously this question is really tough. Don’t let ‘the moment’ blind you. IF he took the effort and courage to ask, you (female) need to think if this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. (Imagine waking up to see the same guy everyday till death do you part)

If you say NO – you need not read further. I applaud you for your bravery and pray you’ll find someone who you can really love. J

Proceed if you say YES

Two

Decide on your budget and prepare check-list.

Pull in all your resources (your parents / his parents)

** Allow yourself some room to tolerate +/- 10% (remember, to keep it real and prioritize)

Three

Decide on a DATE(s).

–        Date you to officially seal your marriage (registrar of your country)

–        Date for all the dowry giving / gift exchange (for some customs)

–        Date for the morning bride collecting (mainly Chinese custom)

–        Date for ‘THE’ dinner / Reception

For Chinese custom, there might be need to seek a specialist in giving good dates which match the bride & groom’s birthdates.

Four

Confirm your booking for those which you need it on that day. Meaning, you cannot change it to another day and you need that person there.

Venues

Photographer (Actual Day)

Make-up Artist

Religious officer

Five

Additional frills which you would like to throw in to make it SPECIAL

Wedding Rings

Wedding dress / evening gown / Bridal party attire

Pre-wedding Photograph / Bridal House

Custom made wedding invitation card (Not the mass production type)

Venue Decoration

Flowers

Favours for guest

Wedding Cake

Entertainment

Caterer (if the venue doesn’t provide food)

Liquor (if you plan to serve)

Six

Guest list

Appoint suitable person for roles / responsibility on the day

Pampering Session (me, me and me time)

Honeymoon

 

After several months of planning, the wedding day comes and goes… And, another chapter of your life begins… and this time, it has no deadline / expiry date. I would like to introduce you to marriage.

Happy planning.

Story One:

Chulet’s best-mate from her childhood years recently got proposed over romantic dinner during their trip to singapore to see the F1. It was a total suprise for her as she thought it was just a dinner outing to celebrate her birthday. Birthday cake has a cute racoon on top of it. VERY very cute. (as Chulet was not there – no pictures here). So, it was like a double suprise when her soul-mate whipped out a diamond ring and proposed to her ! She say YES. of course. 🙂

Story Two:

He arranged with her family to meet in Bali for holiday. She happily went along to enjoy the holiday. On the day of the proposal, they went for hiking, biking and etc around the Bali island. Went back to their hotel to shower. She was too tired to care about her dressing (thinking that it would just be casual dinner with her family). Little does she knows, he arrange for dinner in a nice posh hotel.. The waiter show them to the back of the restaurant where she saw a long jetty leading out to the sea. along the jetty lighted with candles and a man playing the violin. On the table, there was a microscope. He told her to look inside. YES – it was a ring.

Story Three:

He ganged-up with all the children from the sunday school (she’s a sunday school teacher). It was Christmas. After church service, the children dragged her to the first room. She found a figurine with a card. Card gives clue to the next treasure. There was about 5 treasure before she come into the room with him (and her family + the children too). He recite a long long long speech.. (hehehee) with a nice Ring (of coz..) and she say YES (of course..)

Story Four:

He took her back to the first restaurant where they had their first date. Stroll along the river where they went after their first date. She went along eventough she wanted to just go home and sleep. Halfway, he went on his knee, took out the ring and proposed. (There was no one along the river then. quite late at night. Oh wait. He mentioned that there was a garbage collector doing his round then. hahaha..) She say yes. (No – this is not the end of the story yet). He jumped with joy and whipped out 2 air-ticket to Sydney (they are in Melbourne). They left for a short mini-break the next day. :p

Story Five:

He took her to climb the Mount Kinabalu (or Mount KK, so fondly known by the Malaysians..) It is considerable high. So, when they reach the higest peak. She was tired and cold. He tooked out the ring to propose to her. She was tired no more. 🙂

Story Six:

He googled to ‘how to proposed’ and learn everything he can. He went to the jewellery store and asked for ring. Went to airport to picked her up. After she reach her home, he went on his knee and ask her to marry him. He open the box and she pushed him away and say NOoo.. (you see, he asked for a ring. But, he didn’t specify what Ring. So, the sales person show him the wedding bands) When she saw 2 rings – she thought he propose with earrings ! Anyway, the confusion aside, it was a joking NO.. and she say YES later when she learn of his mistake. hehhe.

That’s all for now.

Enjoy.
