the price quotation for each artist x sempat nk completekan lagi. but i will update in due time.

so far x decide lagi nak amik which one for my reception nti. mula2 dah confirm nk amik emma pesona, tapi bila tanya date, dia dah ada org book for majlis nikah on the date. sedih. now maybe go for nurin or Lova. Lova still free, Nurin x tanya lagi.

mind u, ada yg quote above RM1k tau. so, it depends on your budget and preference. ada yg suka artist A punye style, ada yg tak..so, it depends. cuba browse through their blogs/website/photopage tgk their work dulu. Or book for tryout dulu. for dinner or function ke. After that baru decide.

ok, till the next update!! nk pegi mkn ubat..

The Story of My Engagement..

i know i've been engaged for almost a year now. tp saya sedar still ada org yg terasa sebab tak di'inform' and x dijemput ke majlis pertunangan sy dulu. i owe an explanation to that.

macam ni citenye..sepatutnye yg dirancang bukanlah majlis pertunangan.cuma sekadar merisik. tapi last2 family Mr D decide nk tunang terus untuk memudahkan semua. decision nk tunang dibuat sehari sebelum hari yg sepatutnye. bayangkanlah betapa kelam kabutnya sy time tu. tiket balik x beli lagi, baju, cincin, semua benda x prepare. pegi office pon mcm org gila sbb asyik pk kn engagement the next day. mmg sy x sempat bgtau semua org. sy cuma bgtau sofia, chetd, yan, nadia & tammy je.

sy & Mr D pegi beli cincin after office hour. the only branch yg ada cincin size sy tutup pukul 7mlm. time kuar office dah dekat pukul 6, jln jam lagi. alhamdulillah, nasib baik sempat. ptg tu jugak kakak sy agree nk balik sekali. asalnya dia x bleh balik cz ada program lain. nasib baik la dia sanggup tukar plan sbb tau sy x sempat nk beli tiket. so, bertolak mlm tu and sampai umah around 1.30am.

time tu mak tgh sibuk2 buat her signature yam pudding/jelly for hantaran, and yana tengah kelam kabut buat raspberry cheese tart/cake yg sampai hari ni still org puji. rasa bersalah tgk my family semua kelam kabut. pagi esoknye, sy & kakak (tgh preggy) kuar cari barang for hantaran. yeap, on the day itself. nasib baik la hari tu hari jumaat. so, both families agree to have the majlis after solat jumaat. around kul 1 cmtu, ktorg balik with the hantaran stuff and brg2 nk deco the hantaran. DIY tau semua! at the same time my friends from kl sampai. rombongn family Mr. D pon dah sampai kt nearby masjid. sy kuar g culik adik Mr D sbb dia agree tuk makeup kn sy (nasib baik la dia mmg buat bridal makeup).

balik umah kelam kabut mandi n siap2 semua. kul 2.30 org nk sampai rumah, kul 1.30 sy dok lari2 tgk brg n siap ape pon lg..hehehe..baju yg sy pakai time tunang is my sister's nikah outfit (nasib baik same size). alhamdulillah..allah mudahkan & lancarkan majlis. walaupon last minit dan kelam kabut, bg saya, majlis tu ringkas tapi sweet..

credit to these amazing people:

1. mak & bapak for being very supportive and understanding (hantarans stuffs)

2. atun & abg zul : transportation & lots of things

3. yana : the yummy cheese tart

4. akmal : for all the help on that day

5. chetd: the dulangs & for being there

6. nad, yan, mont & syakil : for being there & for the help with the hantarans

7. darzian : the makeup

8. Mr D: for being so understanding

9. for my family & everyone on that day : for being there

so, these are some of the pics on my engagement day. hopefully semua org faham & dah x terase about this.

Me & My Mr. Finally, Mr D!!

budget

in preparing for the wedding, yg penting sekali would be the budget. make sure you start saving from now on, even if you don't really know when is you day. to those who are planning for your own wedding or those about to start preparing, my advise is, save your money in a place where it will not be easy for you to take it out.

you can open up a new savings account just for the wedding. but when you open a new account, try not to apply for the atm card, because if you have an atm card for the account, most likely you will withdraw the money for other purpose. or, if you don't want to have too many accounts, try to save by giving the money to your parents for them to save/hold it for you. whatever way that u choose, just make sure that the money is kept in a place where it is not easy for you to take it out.

if you opt for the 'savings w/out card account', there's a few options for you. you can either apply for the card when you've done all the necessary surveys, and is ready to start purchasing/paying deposits for items RELATING TO THE WEDDING, or you could also opt to take out the amount needed only and maintain the 'no card' policy. another way would be to pay with your credit card (if you have one) and only take out the money from the savings to pay the credit card bill. but you have to make sure the bill is only RELATING TO THE WEDDING! and when using credit card, you have to really discipline yourself and avoid overspending.

the best thing about the 'no card' policy is, you don't have to worry even if ada org curik your purse/wallet/atm card. u might suffer some loss, but at least si pencurik durjana tu x dpt curik your wedding savings money!yay!!! :)

when you plan for your wedding, make sure you have a proper budget for everything. write down all the thigs needed for the wedding and put a min & max amount for each item. that will be your budget and use that as your guideline. DO NOT GO OVER YOUR BUDGET!

hopefully, dapat membantu sedikit sebanyak. saya dah x dpt nk bantu diri sendiri dgn budget ni. dah tersalah langkah awal2. jadi, harap sangat2 b2b yg lain dpt take note of this. remember, budgeting is REALLY important for the wedding!

Reasons for having this blog

there's actually two reasons for me to start this blog. the first reason is to help me keep track on my wedding progress and check on the things that i need to do. secondly, since i'm one of the first to get married among my friends, i hope this blog will sedikit sebanyak help those yg baru bertunang or dirisik to plan for your own wedding nti. at least berguna jugak la all my surveys.

byk b2b blogs out there yg bleh digunakan sebagai rujukan. cuma kn rajin bukak internet n browse through. i really hope my blog could help.
