In another 3 weeks or so, we’ll have to go down to the bridal studio to try out our respective clothes for our solemnisation.

Wedding procedure in Singapore

June 16th 2007 by Husband in Others 27

It appears to me that different countries have slightly different procedures when it comes to weddings. In Singapore, a wedding is usually divided into 2 parts, namely the solemnisation and the customary. The solemnisation refers to the legal aspect of the marriage. Under Singapore law, a couple is considered to be legally married only if [...]

Haha, Aaron commented that women are made for shopping ‘cos even after having walked the good long stretch of Orchard Road (literally ‘walk’ from Plaza Singapura to Far East Plaza, including visiting the shopping malls in between) yesterday, and both of us were sticky from the perspiration due to the humid weather, with our legs [...]

Inclusive of a made-to-measure dress, hair-do, make-up for the solemnization day and a bridal bouquet, the whole package did not come cheap, but I [...]

Other outdoor wedding venues in Singapore

June 8th 2007 by Husband in Venues 66

Peiying and I went to check out Mandai Orchid Garden and Beach Culture personally, but our research yielded other places in Singapore where one can hold outdoor weddings or solemnisations too. For those who want beach weddings, Rasa Sentosa offers that option. It’s perhaps one of the pricier venues, but they throw in a free [...]

The courage to be different

June 5th 2007 by Husband in Feelings 3

It’s not easy to try and be different, especially when it comes to something that’s once in a lifetime. I remember the agonising process of deciding what would be a suitable gift to propose with. On one hand, I wanted to be different yet at the same time, I was afraid to be different. The [...]
