101 days later...

When the fiance was in singapore
We briefly discuss our wedding date
Although we can only confirm the date
After we apply it at townhall in december 
But we planned for 8 feb 2014
Thereafter most of our discussions
was planned at this tentative date

Today i set a countdown on my phone
I have plenty of countdowns on my phone
Ranges from last day of work
To me flying off 
To my birthday

So i set a countdown to 8 feb 201
4And it shows "101days left"
I think its a good sign :)

Wedding Colors...Part I

We never had a proper discussion about our wedding color
except that we both liked the idea of a grey suit for him.

My "something borrowed" friend has asked me the same question
so that she can lend me something of the color scheme
but I have no answers.

Anyway, with his sisters (bridesmaids) helping out for wedding preparation
the question return: what is our color theme?
For now, I do like the idea of a black and white theme for the restaurant
but with dash of red (roses?) so that is not too funeral lookalike

But for the bridesmaid and best men, they do need a color theme to work around
Maybe because in Singapore, with summer throughout the year
the color theme tends to be pastel (spring/summer colors)
where bridesmaids wear pastel colors
but with my wedding in winter
it seems a little strange for them to be dressed in pastel colors
and should be in dark colors (winter colors)

 

Im texting everyone for their comments
it seems that most people actually think dark colors are better
with consideration that is winter

My sister says that if others wear dark colors
I will stand out as a bride in white
Being the only Asian, with twins as bridesmaid and smaller size than me
I think I don't really need dark colors around me to let people know im the bride..
haha

GQ Magazine: The Groom's Edition

The fiancé was in Singapore for around a week
We were very efficient in shopping!
Well, most things will be cheaper in Singapore
due to us being the city of shopping, the exchange rate
and the important reason of me helping him to shop!

Is interesting to see how the fiancé was resistant about shopping
and end up modelling around in the store in suits
and excited that he can fit into "slim-fit"
hehe

And for the wedding the groom is almost done:
- Suit (Yes)
- Shoes (Yes)
- Socks (Yes)
- Cuff-links (Yes)

But we have not decide whether he should wear:
- a tie or
- a bow- tie or
- a vest

Considering that the suit is not really thick
Nobody will sell winter suit in Singapore
and our wedding will be in winter
I guess he can wear a not sexy thermal wear inside!
haha.

 

Marriage application documents..Part IV

Today I had some time off from work
so i decided to be a good bride to be
and went to alliance francaise to translate my birth cert 
and single status cert (cert of celibacy)

Recalling my experience at the france embassy
i assumed that it will be the same boring process in alliance francaise
(Well, its a french institute so i guess they work the slow french way)
To my surprise, the process was quick
There was no queue
They looked at the documents
and i paid (S$60 each)
then photocopied my documents
Got my contact details 
told me it will be ready next week
and i was done in less than 10 minutes!

Now is just to certify my english documents at Ministry of foreign affairs
and to certify the translated copies at france embassy
photocopy my passport
Bring along a singapore bill for address verification
get my witness's passport photocopy
and im basically ready for the marriage application! 

Oh 2 days ago the fiance got me to fill up the marriage application forms
It was all in french and i wondered whether maybe he is trying to trick me to sign off my life and money
haha

Week in Singapore

I can't believe how time can flies
Fiance was here for 10days
and i just sent him off last night

Although it was only 10days
we were really productive
Bought the grrom's suit and shoes
Officially announcing to my family about our wedding 
Fiance asked my mother for my hand but i think my hand still belongs to me..haha
spent time together as a couple
quarrel a few times...opps..
Getting our wedding rings (still in the factory because of his big fingers..)

When having the farewell dinner with my family
i realized that 7 weeks later I will be doing the same!
7 weeks later I will be flying off to a new country and new stage of life
well...at least for 3 months for now....

I wish the next 7 weeks will pass quickly too...
