Clarifications

so, on my previous post, I've said that I was stressed out about my Bridal coz I haven't been seeing updates from their social media sites. And I failed to mentioned that things have changed since that post.

 

I just want and have to clarify something which hopefully benefit both me and the bridal. I don't want BTBs or anyone to think the wrong way just because they misinterpreted what I post previously.

 

So... I've just received a call from my Bridal and she was updating me on her new bridal outfits and telling me that some of her customers came to her after reading my blog, some even booked her as their bridal (which is a good thing, Alhamdulillah). Well, the bad thing is this... someone mentioned to her that I said on my blog that the Bridal I booked cheated my money. That is obviously so not true. N to the O, NO. They never cheat my money and what I said was purely a saying out of my stressful state of mind.

 

"It is not that I’m saying they’re cheating out of our money (hopefully not)" >> this is what I posted. Maybe some misinterpreted it, but it is just not right. You've got to check around first before saying anything to anyone. You can even ask me personally with what is going on.

 

I should have listened to my fiancé who have been telling me to yakin in whatever you do or decide, and to always think positively. He always believed in the vendors we chose. If I had listened, this wouldn't had happen right?

 

But Alhamdulillah, everything is fine. I feel so so terrible after hearing this and I never wish this to happen even. Honestly I never expect anyone to read this blog because, I've been seeing my own view section or whatever it is called and it was ZERO most of the time. Mehhh....

 

I apologise for the misunderstandings. And I sincerely apologise to my bridal for the negativity thoughts people had towards them.

 

SO PLEASE PEOPLE.... DONT MISINTERPRET ANYTHING OK???

 

The power of social media... haisssssss.....

Stressed out?

And it’s been months since I last blogged. Oh well, lazy girl is a lazy girl after all. New Year only means that I have exactly a year to prepare. A FREAKING ONE YEAR TO MY WEDDING! How exciting is that? Not. But seriously, a year? Well, now it’s already less than a year coz January is ending soon.

So far most of the major vendors are secured. But I’m still stressing out on the berkats. My initial idea was Honey but it was over our budget and changed to Jams instead. Then again, the Jams might be too small and you know how guests normally are. “eh, keciknye berkat die” seriously if I ever hear that kind of comment, nak kena mintak sepak aje. Like hello, it is suppose to be a berkat and just take it lah. Kan? My parents thought it was too small *smacks forehead* and if I were to increase the qty to 2 it will definitely out of our budget. And so I stuck till then. My uncle suggested a pocket sejadah, good idea but can’t find it through the all-amazing google, which means gotta travel down to JB. Also, we both decided to give out the same berkats so that when purchased in bigger quantities, the price will be slightly cheaper. Even a hundred mean ALOT now.

 

The next thing up on my stress list is Videography. This has got us arguing all the time whenever I bring it up. The main reason for having a video taken on our wedding day is to capture the moment. Yes true, photos are able to capture moments but not like the videos. I wanna see how we both look on that day, how I reacted or how nervous or calm during akad nikah. So what about chucking it one side after watching it once. There will be times when you feel down and you just wanna watch it again or when you’re fighting with each other and it could be a reminder how we both got together. Right? He is still against it coz of budget (as usual) but I will not give up. I even enquired my cousin (who does photography and videography full time I think). Hopefully he gets back to me asap so I could book him. Heh heh. I don’t mind forking out my own cash (not the wedding savings) to have a video. I am that determined.

 

And the last thing (for now) on my stress list is Bridal. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before but the bridal I booked is not the well known bridal as we all know. It was a risk but I did it. It is not that I’m saing they’re cheating out of our money (hopefully not). It’s just that I don’t see any updated on their social media – Facebook, Instagram and Website. It just got me worried but I wanna hope for the best and I really hope they’re not like the other vendors who leave their client behind. Insyaallah it will be fine.

Changes again.... & two vendors secured

And so, we shifted the date again. Hahahah! #foreverchanging #indecisive ok ok, This time it's for real and it's our last and final decision. Our wedding will be in early 2016! Not going to tell the date yet coz I wanna keep it a secret. Hehe. Fyi, I already thought of a Instagram hashtag. hahah #kiasubtb

We changed our venue too and that means no Gurame wedding. Boohoo. It is sad that I can't get my dream venue but sometimes you just gotta let it go. First and foremost is because of our budget and we don't want to exceed our planned budget too much. We both then decided to have our wedding in CC (well for now, but I think it is confirmed). Mainly because it can accommodate a lot of pax and we choose to have it in between Woodlands and Clementi. Fair for both sides coz it's not near of both places. you know, to avoid the misunderstandings and such. 

Since Mr. Fiance is back from outstation, we have to use this very precious time to discuss as much as possible on our wedding stuffs. From arranging appointments, looking at possible vendors, asking for quotations and whatnot. 

So far we have been to a few bridal appointments and I'm happy to say that we have secured two vendors for our wedding! Alhamdulillah. It is a package of both bridal and photography services.

We have chosen LA ROSA - The Bridal Room for our Andaman and Photography. 

They are a sweet happy couple who caters andaman services as well as photography (which is managed by the husband). From the first appointment, I can say that we (my Fiance and I) clicked with them. We can talk and there are no weird awkward moments with them. Very friendly and energetic pair. The part that interests me the most is that I get to customize my own Nikah outfit and keep it! (with no extra costs) Not to forget, the photos are also nice! 

How I found out about La Rosa (just sharing, don't have to read if not interested) is from my Instagram feed. I was scrolling down the pics from Project Pixel and saw a beautiful beautiful outfit of the couple. So I decided to investigate on my own (instagram stalking for sure) and found La Rosa. 

You can check them out at their facebook page : La Rosa - The Bridal Room or here for more photos on their website.

I'm tired and I have to get back to my Cinnamon rolls that is waiting to be baked. Will blog again soon! Ciao!
