The Wedding Preparation: Part 3 (Emcee)

"Wah, you have too much money to splurge ar? Why need to hire professional emcee? Just find someone that can talk on stage will do la...."

That was the response I received from majority when they got to know that I am getting a professional master of ceremony a.k.a emcee for my wedding. I am thankful that my other half, as well as my in laws, did not think the same way. We strongly believe in the need of getting a good emcee for major events like weddings. Emceeing is indeed a crucial, tough job. Not just being able to crack some jokes to wow the audience, an effective emcee will be required to simultaneously wear other hats: event coordinator, stage manager, clock watcher, sound and lighting consultant, trouble shooter, nerve calmer, cheer leader....A good emcee will make the event more entertaining, and a huge success. A bad emcee, can make an otherwise outstanding event look like amateur night at the local "lala" pub. After all the hard work in planning for the wedding, I would definitely want to hand it to someone who is capable of handling it.

The Wedding Preparation (Part 2: Reception venue)

While waiting for my baby Z to be out, I think it would be good to continue this series of blog entry on wedding preps. As promised, I will share the list of wedding vendors I have researched for my wedding and my personal reviews on the vendors I have picked for my big day...A word of CAUTION before I begin...I might sound a bit harsh in some of the reviews but they are just my personal reflections and I am being frank. 

The Wedding Preparation (Part 1: Where to start???)

Pardon me for the very late entry of this series of blogposts...I know some of you have been waiting very long for the details of my self-planned wedding (some even called/FB/pm-ed me and my husband)...grrrhhh, so sorry. I initially wanted to post these entries right after my wedding but what held me back until now was....*ahem* busy baby-making. LOL. Ok, jokes aside. My sister in law engaged some same wedding vendors for her wedding in March this year. Hence, I thought it would be best if I keep my comments until her wedding is over.

Pre-Wedding Photography (Part 2)

The wedding is finally over and now only I have the time to blog about the preparations. Better be late than never, right? Hahaha. Many that have seen my prewedding pictures came asking me about it. Ok, I shall talk about it here.

wedding DIY

I was looking at some chic ring pillows and flower baskets on Etsy. Guess what? A simple looking ring pillow can easily cost RM70. Everything about wedding is seriously expensive. I gave up finding for an affordable one and decided to DIY instead. 

Prewedding photography (Part 1)

Many do not believe that JW & I did not actually do much prior research on pre-wedding photographers and bridal galleries before we engaged Lucas Ting & Memories Bridal Gallery (MBG) for our pre-wedding photography. In fact, we did not visit any bridal gallery (not even MBG) nor did we check out any other pre-wedding photography packages before signing up with MBG. Guess what...we have not even heard of Lucas Ting back then!! 

The wedding planning

More than a year ago, JW popped the question and I said YES!! Since then, we have been very busy planning and budgeting for the big day. Hmm..it's more like me doing most of the planning as JW is way too busy with work, on call, locum and revision for his MRCS exam.  Well, I am more than happy to be the big boss in the planning process...haha, I admit I could be quite a bridezilla...
