WEDDINGS - your thoughts, your dreams, your wish and your views!  

Dear dbutheking,

So, tomorrow you will be attending your friend's wedding.
That is great, you will have your first experience and to
see your friend to be the 'King & Queen' of the day
That is very exciting...remember to snap some photos...lol

So, I hope you will come back here to share your experience
of attending the 1st wedding. It will be wonderful to hear
about the Indian Cultural weddings...thanks and have a wonderful
outing tomorrow

Ha. Ha. Yes, that is really funny. Atleast before you get down the car you may comb your hair and then wipe your sweat with your hand kerchief..lol...
Have a great day.. i guess you didn't see your friend's tab.. something was waiting for your approval for nearly 3 days...lol...

Hi jonjee,
You all could have freshened yourselves up at the coffee shop nearby before proceeding to the church.In this respect, I could like to take this opportunity to relate an incident happened to my friend, the bridegroom then. I was supposed to be the driver fetching the happy couples from Petaling Jaya to Ayer Keroh. But after travelling about 8 kilometres,I had to switch car or rather drivers. The reason, the bride forgot the most important item - the wedding rings. A mutual friend then drove the happy couples to Ayer Keroh. Since I am closer to the groom, I went back to the blissful couples' home to retrieve the wedding rings and later proceed to the church just in time.

Yes, I know of such incidents. In the rush, anything can happened and in this case- the most important articles needed for the wedding vows. If you have seen the movie " Four Weddings and a Funeral", you can see that the wedding planner always forget to bring the rings and had to borrow odd looking rings from his friends to make do.We all know of funny things on the way to my/you/our weddings. We hope this topic will excite good discussion among those who are married or know of such occurrences.

Dear Jen,

Is that your wedding photo on your avatar?
It is very graceful and beautiful!

First of all I will like to wish you and your darling~

CONGRATULATIONS and all the Best!

It is truly a blessings to be able to marry your best friend!
This is called 'Double Blessings'
So, do both of you planning for any honeymoon this coming
holiday?

Thanks for sharing your wonderful wedding here, I truly enjoyed
reading it...hope to hear your views on my other topics too!

Dear James,

Hahaha...that is the price for not being 'Punctual'

I have been to one wedding dinner many years ago in a 5 star hotel in
Kuala Lumpur. That evening, heavy rain, thus bad traffic jam..the dinner
supposed to start at 7:30pm, an allowance of 30 minutes is tolerable. We
arrived punctual because we know KL traffics are always bad. But the VIPs
weren't there in time, imagined the dinner officially started at 9.15pm,
we are really very hungry...an unforgettable wedding dinner, we will always
quoted that wedding dinner ' the latest we have ever attended '..lol

According to my husband, one of the Singapore 5 star hotel literally
having a fantastic promotions 'We will give a one night hotel stay at the
most expensive room here if the wedding dinner can start punctual and ended
on scheduled!'..Till today, no one had acheved it, that shows how bad
people are at 'punctuality'..

All the best, do keep in touch..

Dear dpk,

Thanks for sharing such a hilarious and memorable
wedding...truly appreciate it! I enjoyed reading it
very much...when it is different, it is memorable!

Btw, I am curious..how the band collect the money later?
Does they managed..???..lol

I would like share about the most memorable wedding dinner that
I have ever attended :~

My ex-boss ~ a regional manager of a pest control company (Malaysian).
He fell in love with a Hong Kong 'sales representative' in a seminar.
This beautiful Hong Kong girl is a fan of Michael Jackson. At that
time there is no emails yet. So, they have long distance love relationship
via long distance phone calls! Wow..that's romantic.

One day, he found out that Michael Jackson's is having a concert in
Singapore. He booked the concert tickets and a flight ticket for her
to watch the concert in Singapore. They have a whale of fun, immediately
after the MJ concert, he porposed to her and SHE ACCEPTED!

Their wedding reception was held in a 5 star hotel in PJ and their invitees
are from all parts of the world from Canada to Australia..from North to
South, from West to East. Before the wedding started, they had executives
carrying flags from almost every country of the world..Kungfu performance
& MJ concert video on the wide screen...I'm Speechless - PERFECT Wedding!

Tks and take care, do keep in touch!

To your query - the band party was paid later on the amount due to them, however, had they joined at the time of send off ceremony, they might have got some additional money/income, which they missed...............LOL!
Many thanks for describing about one of the most memorable marriages, I kept reading it again and again.

Dear Andrew,

The Greek weddings sounds lots of fun. Btw, dancing and
smashing plates? What type of plates...is it any special
plates specially designed for smashing...it is costly!

You are absolutely right...no one knows what God have in store
for us...your 'Ms. Right' might just be around the corner...

I have a Malaysian friend, he has been working in the US for almost
15 years now. No one seem right for him, but surprisingly he fell
in love with a Mongolian girl via 'chat in the Internet'. He
visited her twice in Mongolia and they just got married in July.

Thanks for sharing the wonderful Greek weddings, truly enjoyed
reading it. All the best and do keep in touch!

Hi Submerryn,

So lucky of you to have a fairytale wedding. I thought fairytale wedding is only for the rich and famous. It will cost a lot more than most of us can afford. As for our honeymoon, we went to Europe, 10 countries 15 days. Such wonderful memories...

James,

Haha. That explains the reason why we ended up in China for our honeymoon and only went to Europe a year later for our first anniversary. The wedding dinner does costs a bomb, top that with the photography, live band and many more. Come to think of it, many people burst their young life savings on weddings these days...

Dear submerryn,

If I have the opportunity, I will visit you
and have a look at your 'expensive' wedding
studio album. I believe it is really beautiful!

This new generation photography have outdoor and
indoor session. Very interesting
but I just wonder whether is it worth the money..
coz after a few years most of this album is kept.

I too spend around RM988 for the wedding gown and
studio photography, that was like ampteen years ago,
only indoor photography.

One thing about this studio photography, they are very
business minded, assuming package of 1 Large photo and
30 small ones...but during studio time they will snap
more than that, once developed and 'touch-up' all look
good, so most of us will purchase more, means pay more,
over the budget

Thanks for sharing, all the best!

Iriene, sure sure. I'd love for us to meet up when we have the time. We really spent a bomb on the wedding portrait. We were impressed you know why? Because for the first time in our lives, we had blemish free skin! both my hubs and I dont have beautiful skin in reality.. lol.. all the touch-ups had made us 'beautiful'. Eventhough we now keep it away, it will be rather precious when our kids are grown up and wants to have a look at how their parents did they wedding portrait back then.. This is really a case of Once In A Lifetime.

my cousin is getting married saturday. the rehearsal was strict. very attentive to detail and everything must be right.

Dear dorannmwin,

I am really proud of you. You are very thoughtful and
creative. Great job! I believe you will be a good
wedding planner because you are full of ideas and
very caring...

My neighbour had their weddings in a hotel's garden.
They lighted up oil lamps all over the garden in the
evening and bronze ribbons all over the trees there!
Such a romantic ambience....very beautiful

Thanks for sharing your wonderful wedding with us. I truly
enjoyed reading it. All the best & do keep in touch!

Dear kb5000,

Glad to know that you are attending a wedding.
Do share your experience there with us. After
seeing many weddings from real life experience
and movies, what will be your dream wedding?

It is such a wonderful experience to be able to
see a variety of different weddings of different
cultures from other parts of the world!

Thanks and do keep in touch!

Hi,

I am so HAPPY to hear that your wedding is the most beautiful one!
You must have been planned it very well. I believe your sister
has helped you a lot in preparing such a wonderful wedding!
Excellent!

Yes, the weather played an important role too. Nice weather
make everyone happy, and high heels won't get stuck on the
mud too....lol.

So, where did you held your wedding? In a church or at the
beautiful garden? I heard Canada have very beautiful gardens
of flowers...I must visit Canada one day.

Oh yes, my neighbour has her weddings in a hotel. At 5pm they
will have their wedding ceremony and changing of vows in the
beautifully decorated garden, then at 7pm proceed for Chinese
wedding dinner at the hotel. Normally the hotel will give a free
night stay for the newly wedded couple in 'a honeymoon suite'!
This will depend on how many dinner tables they ordered...

Thanks for sharing and I truly enjoyed reading it. Hope to
hear your views on my other topics too!

Dear chiaren,

Welcome to myLot and I am glad to hear from you

Wow, you have attended quite a number of weddings, that's great!
You are so blessed, you have been a flower girl and a bride's
maid before...so the next one will be your own wonderful, memorable
and creative wedding of your dreams

First and foremost, must find your Mr. Right!

For myself, I have been the bride's maid for my sister's wedding and
my brother's wedding. The third one is my own wedding.

I totally agree with you, it did make our wedding special and
memorable...something different and can laugh about it. There is
one more story that I would like to add,...do not be like my
husband and I

1 month before the wedding, we have appointment for pre-wedding
'studio photograph' session. At that point of time, we do not
have cell phones..communication is quite tough. There was no
reminder on the date of appointment. We suppose to have it on
a Sunday, but since I worked 5-days week, they cannot contact
me on Saturday to remind, my 'husband to be' are always outstation,
so can't be contacted too. Both of us are so busy with work, we
totally forgot about the 'studio photograph' session, until next
Monday they called me and asked why we did not come...

When I was young, I am a 'workaholic', I worked 3 jobs..., so we
rescheduled the appointment again. So, cell phones is very IMPORTANT!
