Destination wedding to some exotic places could only be afforded by couples who have some spare cash to spare.

Normally, for a middle-income family like mine, we will go to normal places like Taiwan, Japan or Korea (South Korea) to be exact for our honey moon. And we will most probably spend a week or two over there following guided tour or on free and easy package.

The general spending of one person could be around S$4000.

Lately, I had seen some interesting posts by brides of other countries planning to go to wonderful places such as resorts or villas by the sea where they can relax after months of planning their wedding.

In addition to having your honey moon at this far far away place, couples also hold their wedding ceremony there.

These are the gifts that we bought back from Korea. Enjoy watching >.<

I thought that I can blog on my wedding experience today. But I had spent the last 3 hours filtering my 2000 photos that I took in Korea. Now at 12.15am, I have selected 623 photos out of 630 photos.

So, I went through 3 stages: selection, filtering and screening…wow…

wondering anyone knows any places that provide cheap services for developing 623 photos.

I have found out outlets that develope at 20 cents per photo if you are developing over 100 photos…so anyone knows where I can develope for less than 20 cents…

Yesterday was Xmas eve and we started off our first day in our motherland unpacking our two gigantic lugguages.

Unpacking the dirty laundry, putting back all the toiletries, unused batteries and sorting all the gifts that we bought for friends, relatives as well as for ourselves.

Didn’t know that we started off at 10am in the morning and only finished unpacking at 6pm. When I look around me right now, there are still some loose items strewn around in different corners of my house, and not forgetting the clothes that are hung out to dry. (please don’t rain today; if not, my winter sweaters can’t dry.)

Below are all the things we have bought from Korea, Seoul and Jeju.

Though it was my second time back to Korea, this country has never failed to continue to amaze and intrigue me. A shopping paradise for ladies in deed and a beautiful place for an avid photographer to take photos.

Here are the cosmetic items that my wife bought from shops like “The Face Shop”, “Skin Food” & “Missha”.
There are also authentic ear-rings that I have never seen in Singapore. Not cheap though. At least S$50 for a pair…but I guessed it is the worksmanship that matches the price of the ear-rings.

We have just reached home from our 12 days Korea trip. It is our honey moon. One of the most unforgettable event that happened was we were trapped in heavy snowing (-4 degree celsius) with strong winds and we couldn’t get a cab back to our hotel. It was 2.45am in the street of Dongdameum.

I will blog more about my honey moon soon and so watch out for my blog. Meanwhile, all I need is a good rest…>.< good night

We will be off to our honeymoon till 24/12 (Sunday). My apologies for not able to blog till then but I promise to come back with more stories…

In fact, I have better posts for all of you when I return:

1. Will post a wedding schedule template after I tidy up mine. It will have columns on exact things to do and columns to reflect “who to do what by when and what is the quantity of the items”

2. More negotiation techniques to get more perks from hotel. How we manage to get FREE CORKAGES FOR ALL 40 bottles of wine and 2 HELPERS’ ROOMS instead of 1.

3. Things to look out for as a bride/ groom during the wedding day PLUS HOW TO Check our emotional state so that we stayed calm and pretty/ handsome.

Sorry, I really need to go. Yet to pack my lugguages and I still need to make a trip to Chinatown (People’s Park Complex) to exchange money.

The current exchange rate is about S$1 = 600 korean won.

Bye for now….do come back to my blog for more updates >.<
meanwhile best wishes for ALL December grooms and brides!!!

Today it is back to work. Yesterday had been a fruitful expedition to buy wedding accessories and necessities.

In the morning, we paid respect to my father and my fiancee’s grandma. These are hard and happy times for us as we remembered the people who love us alot and yet, they couldn’t possibly attend our wedding. They can only look from heaven and give us our blessings. Or they can appear as angels in our dreams and guide us along. Or they may appear as a stranger and become our guardian angels, even for a moment, to make sure we are safe.

Yesterday, we celebrated that I handed all my assignments, projects and term paper. Could you imagine you are working full-time, studying half-time, preparing your wedding, and at the same time trying to adjust change of life-stages from a boy in the mom’s eyes, a boyfriend in my girl friend’se eyes, a single man and the little boy in my own’s eyes to still a boy in my mom’s eyes, a husband in my wife’s eyes and a responsible and committed husband to my wife in my own eyes?
