I receive an email enquiry on “Teochew Wedding custom”

As for me, I’m not a Teochew but this is what I ahve researched from the net and my reply of this email.

Hi Daisy,

I’m no wedding guru and my custom is more for Cantonese.

Am I right to say your hubby is a Teochew?

Bascially, the normal custom like “combing hair” on the day before wedding, mother-in-law will buy “si dian jin” for the bride should follow, groom’s parents giving “pin jin” (in the form of ang pows or number of tables with the ang pows collected)

Others are fetching bride before sunrise (auspicious timing is very important) (get see from “tong shu”)

Eventually, you need to check with the parents as they have their own family beliefs and customs or they could be quite modern.

To be more complete, you can go to the wedding shop at Chinatown town market temporary site (beside Outram Park MRT) to ask the shop owners. They have decades of experience selling wedding stuff and so they should know better. 🙂

I saw this thread in singaporebrides.com on some “dough fritters“. Not sure if your family follows it.

I have been receiving emails fromy readers asking some of the places they can go for outdoor photoshoots.

As for me, I took it at the jetty at Changi Village. At the baach, there is this round bridge surrounding a restaurant shaped like a hut. I think it is just behind the SAF chalet.

The other outdoor venue is NTU at Boon Lay. It is the place where I first met her and so the place is full of memories. We took it at a small hill which locates the Administrative Building.

Some other suggestions for outdoor photoshoots:
1. Punggol lallang field
2. Sentosa (sentosa cove, tanjong beach, orchid garden, asian village)
3. Fullerton…
4. Orchard Road
5. Singapore Arts Museum
6. Botanical Gardens
7. Furama Riverfront (Need to ask permission from hotel)
8. Pulau Ubin and the kelongs
9. Botanical Gardens
10. Changi Beach (carpark 1 & 6)
11. National Museum
12. Raffles Place
13. Supreme Court
14. Kentridge Park (comes with suspension bridge)
15. Telok Blangah Hill Park
16. new Marina South Pier (the one that replace the Clifford Pier)
17. Labrador Park
18. National Stadium before it gets demolished

I have friends in singaporebrides.com forum who shared with me these places. There will be more to come and so I will just add on to the list.

Depends on whether your preference is city view or natural landscape.

Looking for wedding favors…im not sure if this can be one of your ideas…>.< https://lickalicioussweetz.wordpress.com/
