"Marry in blue, lover be true."

We’ve all heard the saying, "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue".

Well, the color blue was the traditional color for weddings many years ago. I am sure not many people know about that :)

During the late 19th century, brides wore blue wedding gowns to symbolize purity and fidelity.

A special touches of blue to my main gown, wearing on me, on this special day, 6th Dec 09 :)

I marry in blue, I will be true to Darling Tootsie:) hehehe :P

With Eternal Love,

Looking forward :)

Really looking forward to staying in my new nest with the upcoming waterfront town of the 21st century :)








BB Issac is such an Angel :)

Yes Both Mr and Mrs Tootsies' are the proud god parents of BB Issac:)



He is such a cutie, with rosy cheeks! And I had given my virgin hug to bb Issac...First time in my life have I braved up my courage to carry a one day old bb in my hands:) I feel so proud of myself, as a proud god ma of Issac.







Issac is pretty heavy and his cry is loud and clear! Both Darling Tootsie and myself have reached the hosp around 6 plus in the evening...waited and waited to see bb Issac to be pushed into the ward...but was told that he needs to be put in the warmer for a certain time to reach the normal temperature, and bathed him before pushing into his mummy's arms :) And finally around 10 pm do we get to see this love angel, surrounded with his loved ones:) I suppose this day is my happiest day of the week! Little Angel, You have finally arrived into your mummy & daddy's arms and nana darling's 9 months of pain and endurance is worthwhile!



Good nite Sweetie, HUGs!

She is not completely ready...

So on Fri the 13th, I saw "her". She is designed by my designer Mrs J...using one of my fav blue, she is a mixture of blue and white :)

When I first saw "her", which is like only 60% finished, but I am impressed by the details done to her tail.

I must say "She" is sweet...with her tail that has blue gathers around her, visualising a mermaid walking down the aisle with the water at her tail...this is how I would describe abt "her"

The front part of "her" has a lovely heart shaped on it which is lovely embroidered. However more details will be done to her tail, embedded with blue and white organza like flowers and her front will be embroidered with more blings and will be ballooned with a can can underneath.

I am looking forward to seeing the completed "her" in Apr :)..

So its a sweet Mrs Tootsie to be walking down the aisle during the first march in and a sexy little chilli padi for the second part of her fairy tale wedding :)

Cheers

My "Hello Kitty" gown

Well I mean I should really feel excited to seeing my MTM main gown....I dont know whats wrong with me, giving myself additional fear since its the first gown that I will be wearing....

However as mentioned before in my previous blog entries, I am scared to see the actual piece...and just yesterday night, I HAD A DREAM and its not a good one though!

I dreamt that my gown had HELLO KITTY design on my gown and my blue and white combi colour train is soooo short...Whats happening! In my dream, I freaked out! and worst is I am still back to wearing the Off The Rack Gown and had to pay more $ :S


This is the backview of my gown...cant really draw....My "hello Kitty" gown with a short train!


I am scared *covering my eyes with my hands* Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

The Beauty of being KS!

I feel I shd comment this....The Beauty of Being a Kiasu!

My cousin will be getting married next year 23rd Jan 2010. However she panicks now over the hotels as 12 hotels that she has sourced have rejected her...All were fully booked...She is now left with Amara Santuary Hotel @ Sentosa and St Regis. Though my cousin has no wedding budgets, however the increase price for most of the hotels is really ridiculous. For Amara Santuary Hotel, according to her they should be paying like $1600 per table and St Regis (min 40 tables), will be $2000 per table.
Most likely my cousin will choose Amara Santuary Hotel as they have got only 30 tables. Just yesterday, she was telling me that she thought having to book the hotel 1 year before the wedding was very KS, and when I told her I enquired the hotels 1.5 yrs before my big day, which is more KS, I was also surprise to hear that most of the hotels that I have shortlisted are fully booked too! So in conclusion, there's nothing wrong being KS, of course nt being the typical Singaporean, but I just feel that if you want to get things in your way, you gona act fast! Thats my style of working maybe :) I see nothing wrong with that (maybe like mother like daughter, we are both GC spiders)...at least I feel that I am more organised in this way and not grabbing Buddha's legs in the very last min....Amithabudda...Buddha will say " Serve U Right for being so last min" :)

Amithabudda,
Mrs Tootsie

Awaiting to see my actual main gown .... and looking forward to...

Pretty excited and scared tough to view my actual MTM gown this Fri, and going into the second phase of discussion for my evening gown design.

I just have to face it even if the MTM gown is not up to my expectations....thats the risk of having a MTM gown...but both darling and myself got a good deal with our bridal studio..due to some friends connections :P

I am looking forward to my pampering stay at Ritz to celebrate this year Valentines' Day with Darling Tootsie :) At times I love to pamper myself by staying in the hotels to relax myself :) Ritz is one of my wish and Fullerton too hehehe.

Initially Darling Tootsie suggested a get-away package at Batam, Holiday Inn Suite that includes massage. We have stayed there before with our friends and frankly speaking....my comment is so so only...pretty boring place... I was thinking since the price we are paying for the Batam trip for 2 is about the price we are paying for Ritz, why dont we stay at Ritz since we have never stay before and it would definitely be more pampering than the one at Batam. heheheh.

Darling Tootsie agreed! Yeah! On condition I cannot grumble to go for holidays for this yr :P except for our honeymoon trips :P

Thank u Darling Tootsie :)



Love

Mrs Tootsie

Just yesterday I received a call from Darling's mummy. She has called to reassure me our wedding hiccups is more or less resolved...I was so happy that I got up and informed my parents.

Though I should say I can breathe properly now...however still, I would expect more hiccups to come along when its near my wedding :) nevertheless I hope angel is still blessing me :)

Updates of Mrs Tootsie

Its been a long long time since I have updated our blog. Busy with our Tootsies' wedding prep? Not quite though ...just met some hiccups and hope it can be resolved :)

Next Fri, (Friday the 13th somemore), I finally can see my first MTM gown. Mixed feeling though as I am quite scared to see if the gown design is up to my expectation. Drawings definitely look splendid...but u really cannot imagine when u see the real piece right before your eye....On that day, we will then go into discussion for my Evening Gown design...feeling excited :)

Hope the angels will bless me as time comes along....with my exams coming along, wedding ....I hope I will still look lovely as an Angel in Darling Tootsies' eyes :)

Cheers,
Mrs Tootsie
