Accomodation for Overseas Relatives

We had wanted to book the Chevrons chalets near IMM to put up Boo's relatives from overseas. Location is near our home and the exclusive 6 pool-facing chalets were newly renovated. But they became fully booked :(

No choice. We checked out several other places to host our guests:
CDANS @ Bukit Batok
Harbour Ville Hotel
New 7th Storey Hotel
Hotel Alternatives

Finally we decided on the Strand Hotel which has family rooms for 5-7 guests with 2 bathrooms attached. Location is pretty good too. It is right opposite Kopitiam and 7-11. A few mins walk will bring us to the National Museum, Plaza Singapura and our wedding banquet venue, Raffles Hotel.

We also bought the bedsheets for our bridal bed at the Robinsons sale using the gift vouchers from souls. Thanks gals!

Marriage Preparation Course / Band

Today we finally confirmed "A Little Dream" as our wedding band. We'll be having 4 piece band consisting a keyboardist, a violinist and 2 singers (one of the singers will double up as our emcee).

Yesterday was a fruitful day. Afternoon we went to a Marriage Preparation Course organized by Fei Yue. It was quite fun. We met an Australian couple who had been here for 8 years. They were surprised how we think that 100 guests is considered a small wedding. To them, 50-80 guests is the norm.


We had a smashing time in the evening at David Tao's concert. The music was literally blasting in our ears. But we liked the refreshing new music arrangements. It was hard to believe that he had just recovered from tonsillitis on the day itself.

Raffles Wedding Show

We finally signed up for our wedding banquet on 6 Apr @ Raffles Wedding Show. We will be having our solemnization at the Palm Gardens followed by western set dinner or buffet @ East India Rooms. So excited!
