Just booked the church today for our wedding on 30 Jun 07. Yeps date is set. Priest has been contacted. It will be a 11.30 am mass followed by a lunch reception. where you say? Pleased to announce, to the utter delight of my groom, the venue - St Mary of the Angels Church at Bukit Batok (www.stmary.sg) - is fully air-conditioned. So is the luncheon venue - although we haven't decided on where, it will be a "cool" reception, if you know what i mean?
Hee... one more hurdle gone, btw have i mentioned we will have very capable helpers/photographers/designers from Sophia who will be there to help us along the way. All that's left is the caterer and the LOGISTICS part, which i will leave in the capable hands of his highness hao-e to think through and "settle".
Oh, and we attended 1.1 weddings today. the first was our sponsor's wedding at ctk. very beautiful and cheerful couple who were clearly enjoying their big day. when they recited their vows, i didn't feel like crying, instead i felt joy. haha.. different couples = different moods. Hope ours are as beautiful if not more so. heh... we gatecrashed the second wedding. it was at st mary's so we just popped our kay-poh bodies in and sat through the last part of the mass. then we popped our even more kay-poh eyes when we saw their reception at st clare's hall downstairs. beautiful hall it was (was expecting some normal church canteen, but i must say the architects did a very good job for this). so now i've a got a new option to consider for the reception.
Considerations:-
(i) size - Burkhill in Botanic Gardens would have been cool, but it is a bit small for 200. Asian Civilisations Museum fits only 150 - 190.
(ii) turnout - which is related to (i). turnout if venue was at church may be less than if it's held outside, cos we have many non-catholic and non-christian friends and relatives.
(iii) convenience
(iv) cost
We will just have to think it through before deciding. but would love to see the caterers' work at the various venues before making our choice.
Anyhow, good games on tonight, so won't be sleeping so soon. argentina later at 3am.
