<--->The Final Moments<--->
Antz says:
Now is 1.27am 18th Dec 2008. I know I shouldn't be up awake blogging away right now. Coz it's less than 12hours where Jazs & Antz will be pronounce as Husband & Wife.
But I just feel that we should complete this very last entry before we reveal all photos of our works on the ROM venue later the day. As Jazs & Antz are going to Beijing for holiday, I will like to tell you guys what actually happened the past few days...
Okie.. On 15th Dec 08, we were still preparing our last bits of overseas packing and finalising all decors to our ROM venue. We worked till 11pm and gotta work on the following day. From 15th till 17th, every moment was tiring.
We did all the planning on our own, all the labours too! But we know that by 18th Dec 08, 1600hrs, we will feel that it is all worthwhile!
This is what we have planned :

This is what we have planned :
- 10 foil balloons (consist of 'Me to You' bear wedding edition, star-shaped & normal wedding balloons) - These balloons were all collected from Parkway & Bugis on yesterday by me & my sister. But before moving off, at 1400hrs, I stayed home to plan the 'Great Escape from ERP route'. And the certainly save a bit!
- 2 Unicorns for our Tian Po wedding bands.
- Emcee script for my sister
- Seat arrangement
- March-in song - Jazs have chosen this song, "Ai Ai" from Cao Ge
- Decor around the venue - E.g. Rose petals, signing pen, large party poppers, etc.
After preparing all these, I felt that, a simple ROM already takes so much of our brains juices, our time, our sleeps... I wonder what will we become when preparing for our Actual Day wedding & Chinese tea session. = )
I really hope to post up all the photos taken tomorrow as soon as we are back 'BirdNest' of Beijing!
Till then, will like to say 'THANKS' to all the people who gave their blessing to us.

<--->Sourcing out in progress<--->
Antz says :
I certainly looking forward to the day where Jazs puts on the diamond ring on my finger! I also love those 2 unicorns! They were brought at a gift house at Plaza Singapura, at the eleventh-hour! The shopkeeper was kind enough to let us in to make our purchase, after much indecisive struggle...
Next up, I was given the task to look for our Solemniser.
I scanned the Internet for recommended Solemniser (e.g. SG bridal.com forum) Found a few 'famous' one in the industry. See how those couples comment on those good & bad solemnisers, I'm getting kinda worried... Thinking...
What if he back out 3 days before my ROM (We are advised to call our Solemniser after we've collected our certs at Fort Canning)
What if he turn out late on the actual day?
All these 'What if's" will be revealed on 18th Dec 08. Should our Solemniser turns out really good, I'll certainly share his contact with you guys!!
So I shortlisted out a few and started calling them. Call the first one, who is a lecturer at a ITE, he was kinda young, a few peeps recommended him. Unfortunately he was unavailable, as our date is a weekday. The second one I called, agreed almost immediately. So that was 1 major task accomplished.
Next thing is to hunt for Wedding packages.
Actually at first we didn't think of hiring a bridal shop service, we were actually thinking of getting Jazs' grown, my suit, on our own. Bridal Shop has never come across our minds. Until Jazs' cousin brought this up to her, then... We started sourcing out...
Back to internet... I started my search again... This time was kept much simpler. I just did a comparison with DiGio, Golden Horse Awards and Wh**eL*nk. Phew~ Those sessions with them were ultimately tiring. Litres of saliva being used... Mind torturing indeed..
Everytime we enter a bridal shop, at least an hour gotta be spent. They simply cannot let you leave within a short time... Added to that, Jazs & Antz look kinda young to them, 'Shotgun marriage' seem to be their first impression.
After gone through those sessions, we set our hearts on DiGio. Service isn't bad at all. Growns were lovely. We signed a package that totally seal all stuffs that bothering our minds. With this package, it's seems that our 'To-Do list' has shorten by 70%!!!
The package consists of trial make-up (which we use for ROM), Tea dress grown, hand bouquet, Photo album. In future, for our wedding dinner grown, make-up, tea dress, those can be added in, in a future date.
After our ceremony, will show you Jazs' grown & make-up. For me, I already brought my suit from G2000 long before we signed this package..... (If not, we are able to rent from them...)
Anyway, stay tune for our next entry!!

lol.. indeed i am keep in the dark about the proposer ring thingy as i thought Antz would be giving me any surprise afterall we have alreadi bought out wedding band back then..
Hehe.. Anyway it is veri pleasant surprise and i like the ring alot.. thanks Antz...
Oh yea! toking about wedding band, we have not intro our wedding band yet.
Our band searched start as early as May 2008, we have been thru all those big big small small, wu mia bo mia jewellery shop (i think basically we are draggin ourselves into it) It's jus too tiring.. those who have been thru it will know! ha!
We are often asked about what type of thing we would like to have with diamond or not for the female and male. How many diamond la? with gold, roast gold or no gold la.. At first, Antz were like rejecting the ideas of having a diamond on the wedding ban but after one of the saleperson make comments Like in a lifetime, the only jewellery a guy can have diamonds but not feeling weird is the wedding band. This somehow enlightened our Antz.. Haha.. He is now somehow looking forward for the ring to be placed on this finger....
So in the end, we shortlisted two out of the hundreds we saw!! One from SooKee and the other from TianPo.. In case you were asking y no Lee Hwa.. i dun realli like their design.. haha.. The one from Sookee only has one small diamond in the middle of the ring and the other from TianPo is the one with 12 little diamond arranged all over the ring. Yea both female and male with the same amount of diamonds (we choose it to be like tat!)
In the end, we settled on the TianPo one as we had a discounted coupon given by Antz's kind cousin.... i would say that it quite worth the price and i realli like it alot.. i guess Antz also like it alot too as he was telling me "Dear! i cant wait to wear this on" (everytime when we took out the ring for a peek)
I think the photo of our ring is still not ready yet!! will upload them asap!

<--->Start up pLaN<--->
Antz says :
As mentioned at Antz's last entry... I'm telling about my proposal to Jazs...
You may say I'm kinda secretive, coz I told no one about my plan. I doesn't have that a big wonderful plan like HanZe's. I didn't check out with Candice. BUT I did surfed the net for lovely proposals that others have done!! *Jazs, I'm sure that plan of mine, copyright only belong to me!!
With the biggest gift (Brilliant Rose) gotten, I used an hour to do up a Power point slide show with all my 'honey' talk... *Muahaha.. Our photos are inserted, with background music, 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz. After doing up, I attached it to a restaurant's e-mail to us and forwarded to Jazs.
It is on 5th August 2008 (Our 8th year anniversary), just moments before lunch, where I sent that e-mail to Jazs. Lying to her that I'm too busy to meet her, but I'm sliently on my way to Raffles Place station to meet her. I called her to inform about that restaurant's e-mail, minutes before I reached her office. 5 minutes later, I told her I'm downstairs waiting for her, and we went for lunch at Sushi Tei @ China Square.
After lunch, Jazs' first ever diamond ring was presented to her. Looking at her face filled with happiness, I was plainly looking at her, smiling at her reaction. That was the most precious moment which we can never capture on our camera.
But it engraved deeply in our hearts.....
