Prior to the actual day, we have to go through the 过大礼。Though Rowe & me are also going through this ceremony a week before the actual day, we still know NUTS about it. Hearing from my friends who had gone through the entire package, it's simply a ceremony of bringing the gifts(品礼) over to the bride's. The gifts are requested by the bride's family according to their customs. Lucky for me, Hokkien traditional is simple and do not want anything. Hence, we'll have a very short list of items to prepare and a very short ceremony to go through. Haha !!
The big headache kicks in during the actual day. Attending so many weddings, all the brides & grooms have a similiar problem on their big day. It's like a trend, they have to keep to the timing, but they don't know the itinerary themselves. After finidng out more from them, the itinerary is actually set by the Hotel Wedding Manager (The person who sells u the banquet package). Hmm... Since it's our wedding, why can't we plan out with our very own itinerary & then discuss with the Wedding Planner and work towards what we want ?
Hence, we decided to do a first draft of itinerary for our own !!! Lucky for us, we have an experienced lady, Felicia from Park Royal Beach Road, as our Wedding Planner, she should be able to advise us more. Since our Wedding is separated into 2 days, we'll have more time !!! After more discussion with Rowe, we've came out with a rough idea on what we want and what to do.
