It's a deal!

After much procrastination, much research (Yes! Research is needed!), much scouting around and much advice from my friends, I've finally signed up for my bridal package.

Went to Suntec after all the Easter services were over and went to the "much talkabout" wedding fair. Well, it was a small scale one and I ended up doing surveys, getting free gifts, filling up more than 10 copies of lucky draw entries (because we spent a whopping four-figure amount!) and yes, being pestered or should I say harassed by the sales personnel of the bridal boutiques in the exhibition. Joshua absolutely abhorred this kind of pushy sales tactics and he almost flared up before we even started looking at anything seriously. For me, I do not like pushy stuff either but we had to sit down somewhere. The bridal boutique that I was eyeing was involved in the exhibition so I had to take a look at it. Thank God, the sales personnel was not pushy at all (unlike the previous one I went to). We negotiated (absolutely necessary), saw the albums (we were sold when we saw the pictures) and signed up for it. The staff said that we would have to take our photos in June if our wedding is in December and that means, I have to choose my gowns this month! Screams! No time!.

Anyway, the bridal company gave us an interesting gift when we signed up for the package. It ain't cute, it is interesting.

What does this look like? Cosmetic box? Although I can't imagine any sane person would carry this around. Too red and bit of tai tai-ish.


Tada! It is full of biscuits and pastries! Apparently, the Taiwanese gives this away as their wedding gifts to relatives!


Two layers of 19 different types of biscuits and pastries.
