Dress to kill - Wedding Gown

Went to MidValley for a Bridal Exhibition 2 days ago. Our intention was to check out what is available.

Pass by this stall where a sales woman from Taiwan was really persevering selling us their Kuilin Wedding photo package. We never have intention to do pre-wedding photo shoot especially at foreign land coz we are not allowed to stay in one room before getting marry.

However, she did convince us to book the wedding gown rental as it was quite fair in price. RM 1,000 for 2 set of wedding gown and 1 suit for me. Not too bad. Considering if I would spend RM 500 for my suit if I buy, then Chai Huey has to rento or buy wedding gown which mat cost between RM 700 to RM 1,000 a set. On top of it, we still could enjoy the discount if we decide on the photo package, which is unlikely.

We went to the SS2 to check out the location, and surf through forum on mail and see the coment. They are not quite good. The fact we book also becasue the style of the wedding gown was very unque as the forum also mentioned.

I did my further research on their website : http://www.chinghua.com/newlyweds_kl.htm/

Quite ok with their wedding gown.

So I guess another item done in our list.

Next got to plan on a big one, if you want to know what .... just follow the blog ...

Wedding Banquet - Finally Booked! 文华轩

Initially we wanted to have it at Klang Hokkien Association Hall so that I can have my friend who is a award winning chef to cook for us. However, my mom has been nagging on me about the hall rental of RM 5,000 (inclusive all except food). She thought might as well save it and have more table. Somehow we have agreed on it with much reluctance.

First I called up Jaya Palace, next to Federal Highway, but they already have booking. So I called Super Extra Tanker Restaurant at The Club. And they have no reservation on that evevning. Immediately I asked the Restaurant Manager to pen down the date for us. She was so nice. In fact, they are the only restaurant collecting 10% depsosit. The rest that I called insisted at least RM 3,000 for the deposit.


Lst night we went over to put our deposit. RM 738 a table with free flow of soft drink and tea. If bring our own beer or liquer, got to hire an extra waiter to serve the liquer or beer, which cost us only RM 60. Not too bad at all!


On top of it, the package comes with invitation card, which the design is really creative! We really love it.

Not only that, she has 3 table cloth colour for us t choose. In fact, they are the colours we wanted, Marron & Gold. God really has a plan for us!


Somehow you got to trust woman instinct. Extra Super Tanker was Chia Huey pick, but I was not very keen. But we somehow end up on this restauarnt, and the goodness keep flowing.


Oh.. another offere, with 20 tables we booked, they gave us another 2 table free! What a bargain!
Chia Huey just has the discernment on many things. Just got to trust her!


That is not all, found out the Chinese name of the restaurant 文华轩 is so similar to my first company name 华轩. Just one word different.


I know the food here is very good as well.

We are extremely happy we got this part settled too.

When rubber really meets the road....

I always have the feeling that somehow the external factors gonna give us challenge on the wedding preparation ...

True enough, my parent and my girlfriend's parent are really ardent to have their way for certain ceremony for the wedding. They want us to bow to ancestors, want to have a mediator (the Chinese traditional lady who said all the prosperity words) at the tea ceremony, to have dinner banquet at certain restaurant.

Both of us are stress out totally. Wondering if this is their wedding or ours?????

Yes, we don't mind seek consult from them on certain aspect of the wedding. But can it have it our way?????

Marriage - Is it all about me?

Was doing homework for the 1st Pre-marriage Counseling. Wow, really get my thought process going. Especially questions like "What do you think your fiance opinion on marriage?" - hmmm... never ask her, about time we talk about it! The question toward her thinking really caught me off guard. The question about my opinion obviously are easy for me.
Such a new revelation, it really taught me to stand her side and see the world. It has always been "ME", "MY VIEW", ..... It's so important we starts looking at her point of view.

Good thing we are starting on the right step!

Also looking at things God intended for us is so curial in marital life.

Can't wait to start our session this evening!

Worship Lead - Larry Lee

Was looking for worship lead for wedding & suddenly Larry pop up in front of me at church. So decided to ask him. He was so cool, immediately agreed to do it for us! Praise God!
