My (Goddess) Wedding Diary

So the two lovebirds went around searching for the perfect place to hold their wedding again.

And the more they went around, the more they realised it's not cheap at all to hold a proper, decent and slightly above average wedding here with a cosy atmosphere here.

The amount of angpows received vs the cost of hotel banquet is like wages vs cost of living. Both of the latter are rising in greater proportions than the formal.

So maybe people shouldn't complain so much that their wages aren't rising, cos they as the 'employers' are not giving enough angpows too!

Anyway, back to hotels viewing, they visited Orchard Parade Hotel, so far the cheapest of the lot. The food must surely be good too given that it's from Tung Lok. But unfortunately, the ceiling is not high, there's only one LCD screen and there are pillars blocking guests from the stage. And there's only one wedding decor and invite to choose from! Hmmm.. is my Goddess desperate enough to save money?

The Ballroom

The Reception
Next, the two love birds officially went to meet the wedding planner of Intercontinental. My Goddess is still deeply in love with this place. Look at the place, who can not love it? There are 3 LCD projectors, the march-in is super long - everyone can take a good look at you and give you their blessings, the size of the place is just right, the wedding cake is 5-tier! What's more, their wedding invites matches the theme, and they provide a nice cosy area just outside the ballroom for solemnization, with staircase and sound system. I think it's my Goddess perfect wedding place. But the downside is there are very few perks in the package, compared to other hotels.. HOW??
