Bridal Package

I found out that there was a wedding fair going on at Expo yesterday so Hun and I decided to go take a look. Expo was super packed with ppl going for Car-nival yesterday! Anyway, we went to the place where the supposed Wedding Fair was held...

Lo and behold! It turned out to be a malay wedding fair!!! Hun and I didn't know to laugh or cry....but thankfully there were a few shops that does chinese wedding packages as well :) Anyway, didn't stay long before we decided to check out Bridal Elegance.

When we were there, we were stuck! The ppl explained the package to us and we were quite happy with it. Hun took out the paper that we got from another road show and used that to bargain with the shop ppl...haha...we manage to get quite a good deal! The lady offered us something similar for the same price of $3388. The deciding factor was really the photography package...here's what our package includes:

Decisions...Hotels Recce

We have finally decided....to hold a church wedding in a church, and Hun & his parents have decided to hold the dinner in a hotel. I'm glad that it's gonna be in a hotel cos there'll be a room for us to rest in after the solemnization and also a room to go back to after the dinner.

Hun and his parents went to recce 13 hotels yesterday!! Orchard, Orchard Parade, Crown Prince, Holiday Inn, the 2 Furamas, Pan Pac, Oriental, Marina Mandarin, Meritus Mandarin, Hilton and Hyatt! They short-listed 2: Orchard Parade and Holiday Inn.

I'm again glad that Orchard Parade Hotel was chosen as I've read good reviews about the place from SBO Forum. Also, the food is by Club Chinois so it'll be good :) What's more significant is that Hun's parents held their wedding there! It was formally known as Ming Court Hotel. Another significance is that my eldest aunt (Da Gu) worked there for 10 over years when it was still under the management of Khoo Teck Puat, the family who was managing Goodwood Park and York Hotel....

Hun will be doing more recces....so he'll get to see more packages :) Let's just wait and see what the other hotels have to offer! this is getting so exciting :)
