Cold Feat

knickers

Rhinestones and pink, what else could Bridezilla ask for?

Undies shopping at Marks and Sparks produced the following...

Hey, no one visits this blog anyway,I can do whatever I want,including publishing my wedding undies. The bride for the wedding day,and Just married for the hangover after when I question my own sanity of going through this.

For those that know me, you will know that Bridezilla has an unhealthy obsession with knickers and underwear in general,so this won't come as a suprise.So it will come as no suprise as well that she spent £50 on her wedding day undergarments.No,not the undies above but a pretty hot set of a pink and black corset with matching thongs. Woohoo,too much information

Cold feet

Yes, me!!! I am now really panicking re the impending wedding.Not excited,but dead scared.Help me help me!!

We are going to be Mr & Mrs. How grown up and oh so adultlike.It still seems like we're playing house.

Venues!

2005-12-25T20:07:00.000+08:00

Riteee....we've decided to go with john t's @ The Marriott...yummylicious menu with excellent service (thus far!)

So now that the venue's been sorted,next comes invites.Bridezilla and Groomzilla decided to go with the unconventional way of buying it off the shops and writing it all by ourselves..hey,no point custom making 6 invites is there?

yay wee wee! Next week we'll be sorting out flowers and other decos,which reminds me,Bridezilla needs to make her wedding jewelrey

Happy Christmas all!

Just so I have somewhere to put it....

You can click on this link on 4th January at 11.30am (7.30pm Malaysian/HK time), direct your mouse to the Brodrick Marriage Suite and voila, Bridezilla and Groomzilla!

As the day is drawing nearer,both Bridezilla and Groomzilla's shittin themselves crazy.We just got our wedding invites printed out for our mini wedding..yes,today. And being as last minute as possible, just booked the venue for our wedding lunch..and it's not malmaison below,but Marriott

We ended up with marriott because the food menu from the Mal is not very impressive,not to mention that it'll cost more per head for us,the struggling Zillas. The staff of the Mal being absolutely snotty as hell does not really help too.Plus the Marriott is allowing me to hang my chinese lanterns all over the wall,which would give it a little bit of a cheena atmosphere..

Alritey then...pictures of wedding cards tomorrow folks! Woohoo!!

Dreamland horrors

2005-12-15T18:43:00.000+08:00

You know the date is nearing when you start having nightmares of the wedding day!

Poor Bridezilla has been flooded with nightmares of the bridal kind lately.Just a teeny little sample:

No Camera
This trigger happy horror of a bride's worst nightmare..left the camera at home! And like stuff all nightmares are made of,no one else had a camera on them as well.I think what happened at the end is that we cancelled the ceremony because I could not bear not having a wedding without a camera

No flowers
Part of my nightmare yesterday, this is a way of my subconcious reminding me that something needs to be done.I dreamt that I walked down the aisle holding a pot of fake flowers stolen from the registrars office.As my qipao is dark blue,I cannot think of a type/color of flower that is becomming of the dress.Something simple should suffice,as the big wedding do is not until I'm back in home.Anyone,any ideas?

Busybodies
This is fast becomming a real nightmare.Bridezilla has been bugged by the step sister in law to be endlessly.She is imposing her bridal ideas on poor Bridezilla and Groomzilla and of course, I am as unhappy as a flatten pea.

Just because she made endless plan for her own wedding which ended up with her being dumped does not mean that I am here to throw her a wedding of her dreams. She even screamed down my throat for Groomzilla not having a stag night.And then that little horror sutbly told him that he might want to think about a stag night. Bloody two face.

One funny thing though.In my dreams, I am always feeling warm and snug,even though all I had on was a qipao and strappy heels.

Before I forget..

2005-12-13T23:58:00.000+08:00

Yes,change of dates and times.Bridezilla and groomzilla are now getting married on 4th January 2006 at 11.30am....or 7.30pm Malaysia time.

It seems like this bridezilla will be making it to the altar after all..To ensure that this is achieved, she will be chaining Groomzilla to the house the day before the wedding and forgoing the tradition of sleeping in separate beds the night before the wedding.Either that or Bridezilla will demand for the surrender of Groomzilla's housekeys and keep him locked inside the house,sleeping in the spare bedroom.

Then again,in a moment of panic Groomzilla might just ring one of his mates to come over with keys so he can run away to deal with his cold feet.

Venue horrors

2005-12-13T23:13:00.000+08:00

I tell you..I am fated to have issues with my wedding venues.

First,issues in Malaysia.I have given up and decided that I will be doing Golden Sands in Penang even though it was not our first choice.

Now, Leeds.We have narrowed our choices down to three..Malmaison, Radission SAS and Marriott.

Thoughts on the venues

Radission
Very nice art deco lounge.About 3 minutes walk away from the registrars office,which means that I can run there in my thigh-high slit and stockingless feet.However,they want to charge us £300 for a three hour use of their small room which will fit 15 pax.Now,isn't that like the most cutthroat thing that you have ever heard? Bloody hell..

Nice fireplace

Food is also really expensive here, so we think this is ruled out.

Mariott
They have a choice of two restaurants, the Georgetown or the John T. Georgetown is,not suprisingly, a Malaysian restaurant. And Bridezilla being a Penang kia is just a coincidence. HOWEVER TEMPTING, bridezilla will NOT pay £3.50 for a curry puff or £12 for a Hainanese Chicken Rice.CRAZY AH!!!!!!!???Bridezilla nearly fainted at the prices.

Groomzilla was quite impressed that there is such a nice Malaysian restaurant in Leeds..They call it 'colonial' charm..which means Groomzilla is king and I,Bridezilla is the conquered slave(ette).Just because he wears the pants does not mean I don't own pants ok

John T is a little better...a £25 3 course menu in a private bright room with a sunroof,which means pictures will come out really nicely.

The Zillas have a close connection with the Marriott chain of hotel. When they met,Groomzilla was living in Marriot permanently,therefore alot of 'things' happened there..;).Seeing that Groomzilla would be able to get a free upgrade to an executive floor room if we stayed overnight,this option is still open.

Malmaison
Now, Bridezilla really loved this funky bohemian-vintage hotel.Done in dark velvety purple,this hotel is epitome of modernity with a funky vintage twist.The small side room (available at an additional £25) is perfect..

Nice hor!!!

They have a fixed price menu at £14..3 course inclusive of a glass of wine.Either that or you can pre-order from their menu.

Choices choices....what shall I do?!?

Baby steps..

2005-12-09T21:47:00.000+08:00

...and there we go.

Bridezilla and Groomzilla are slotted to be officially tied to each other on the first week of January.Fancy us both getting to far...

We wanted to do Saturday,so that the hot bro in law would be able to make it as he lives 45mins away.And then Groomzilla realized that his dad would be up on an airplane to Hawaii on that saturday. GRR

So now I'm thinking of 4th,which is my mom's birthday as well.

There we go. One down, a whole lot of planning to go. Watch this space,will be updating quite regularly,at least a couple of times a week.

Setting a date

2005-11-29T05:23:00.000+08:00

Bridezilla and Groomzilla has a date with the Superintendant of Registars on Dec 9th! No, not to get married,silly...we're giving out notice and booking a date on that day.

Yay I hear?

It aint over till the fat lady sings..

2005-11-08T11:33:00.000+08:00

Now, the story of Groomzilla and Bridezilla is far from over. It's been on hold for more than a month I realize..but due to a multitute of reasons I have ceased blogging here.

Hopefully the happy trails of Groomzilla and Bridezilla will be continued soon. For those in the know, Bridezilla is moving to Leeds this Sunday,where hopefully this happy little crazy story will continue like a junkie high on drugs

Updates?

Bought myself a qipao,which will hopefully be used in the teeny wedding in Leeds..where guests will be given jade chopsticks to throw at me just like how the greek throw plates.

Ambulance; set, get ready, GO!!!!

Woe be me..

2005-09-29T21:12:00.000+08:00

I dont think there's a more pathetic/sad/cursed bride than me

First,my mom insists on following me to make my wedding dress.Fine. But she never has time and keeps cancelling on me, so I quietly went with maidzilla for a first look-see.

Then Groomzilla and Bridezilla got into a huge emotional tangle re: wedding plans and went on hiatus. Things are barely back to normal even now..but we are getting there

I made an appointment this weekend with Anna of That Special Occasion to measure me for my dress.I need to see Groomzilla as soon as possible as I've missed him so terribly, and bridal dresses takes ages to make..up to two months.And my mom told me it was ok.

Fine.Today mom has decided that she is attending another wedding,thus will not have time for me.Dad piped in that maybe we could make it earlier. When I said no, he snorted that Anna was being a snub.

LIKE HELLO???She's got appointments laid out for weeks.Yeah,blame it on her popularity

I don't think there's another bride out there that is more pathetic than me. The only support of what is supposed to be the happiest occasion in my life that I seem to get is from maidzilla...who valiantly came to my rescue. SO it's Bridezilla and Maidzilla this weekend.

I could've just made that dress weeks ago when we were there instead of asking for a rush job now. If mom is not careful, she will never see her only daughter getting married.So much for support and parents escastic with planning their daughter's wedding.

Thankee drey...you're a real friend.

Bureaucracy revisited

2005-09-28T13:17:00.000+08:00

Bridezilla visited the UK High Commission today...just a short courtesy visit-NOT! My interview was at 9am, so I was there by 8.40am. Little did I know I had to wait for nearly two hours!

No cameras, no phones...I nearly could not survive that 2-hour wait.It was filled to the brim with hopeful students, applying for student visas since the Uni season is starting again very very soon. There are three interview rooms, each with an interviewer waiting to scrutinize your file with a manifying glass.

One girl from China was just hysterical. Whilst inside interview room no. 2, she screamed and shouted in english to the interviewer.They were discussing parents salaries,her bank book ect in earnest like as if the world depended on it. It took nearly 30mins for her, and she came out crying..she thought that guy was going to reject her visa! After 10 mins of sobby tears she was called in again...and then she started screaming again! Hahahaha...this time in joy.She came out and just did a huge "YEA!!", complete with the victory jump and maniacal smile.I nearly clapped out of politeness.

By the time the clock striked 10am, I was getting antsy . Interviewer 1 and 3 did not seem to be producing approvals at all. Everyone that has gone through them were still waiting for their verdict. Interviewer 2 was the only one churning out any approvals. Or rather, everyone that went through him was asked clear and concise questions and he did not make people wait by asking them to sit down for a futher hour and calling on other applicants whilst he think about it.Which I think its just typical of bureaucracy.

As fate would have it, I was called upon by Interviewer 2. The funniest questions come out..like, did you fill up the form yourself, were you in the UK recently, is there anything else you want to show me?

Like....it's all in my application form already!

The best was him asking about Groomzilla's family. Out I came with the story of his parents,brother and step-siblings. Interviewer 2 asked me what was his brother's name and have I met him. Of course I've met him, and I added on that Broinlaw-zilla is a hottie..Now folks, tell me that he's not???!!

HOT LEH?? Okay, enough gawking.Lyndz right next to him will have Bridezilla for supper if she knows I've posted this up

Interviewer 2 chuckled and said that I better not tell Groomzilla.My response was that Groomzilla told my parents that I think Broinlaw-zilla's hot.Heh

Anyway, he asked a couple more questions about what sort of wedding am I planning and are my parents going over ect. ect. Then he kicked me out and told me he'd go over my documents again..being as anal as I am, documentation came up to be as thick as a concise dictionary!

5 mins later I was recalled.When he told me I was approved, I just stared at him as if he turned into a Godzilla..he stared back.This staring spat went on for another minute before I broke it with a signature Bridezilla smile.

Life's taken a turn for the better

Thank you, please come again.

2005-09-21T16:03:00.000+08:00

I've heard somewhere that planning a wedding is usually so stressful that couples usually end up fighting,unhappy and depressed...not a good footing to start a happily ever after

Bridezilla and Groomzilla, has, unfortunately, fallen into this deathtrap.We have fallen so deep, we cannot see the light any longer. Planning this stressful event has gotten us at ends at each other and frankly unhappy. A lifechanging event this is, but right now, we are just so not in tuned with ourselves and each other that if we do not watch it, this might just not happen.

I'm taking a one week hiatus from the lives of the Zillas. In that time, Bridezilla and Groomzilla will be concentrating on what brought us together in the first place, the joy,the fun, the happiness and the love we shared.

For those who are in this stage of their lives as well, please remember...if you are not careful, there might not be a wedding after all that planning.

Forced cold feet

2005-09-20T15:35:00.000+08:00

Bridezilla's day has gotten from bad to worse.

Visa application has been denied. Well, not denied,but the good people at the British High Commision has requested the pleasure of my company on the 28th for a personal interview at the High Commision Visa Section

Another day of waiting for the bureaucrats. Sigh, so much fun. This time, to be accompanied by Groomzilla's bank statement for the past 3 months.I did not notice that what he had given me was bank statements from March to May!!!! Shall not listen to Groomzilla's "Nahhh, they won't need it, it's ok, don't bother..There will be NO issues whatsoever with your visa application"

GEEZE.

Groomzilla's bank account has a balance of 0, as we have been paying off quite a number of things. Mine's depleting as well, due to escalating costs of a wedding. I have a hunch that my request for visa will be denied.

And guess what? Stupid Carat Club is now telling me that my perfectly fine faxed handwritten note to be engraved on the ring is not clear enough for their dumb machine and they are disregarding my request for a handwritten engraving. Which, being the dumbass they are, did NOT even ask me there to write down my request for the engraving

Perfect. Bridezilla don't want to get married anymore. Screw all this and the happily ever after...I'd be lucky if I can start off happy.

Let me throw this at you..

2005-09-16T13:06:00.000+08:00

..yeah, if it was a bunch of nails!

One of the most important thing of the whole bridal outfit would be the flowers. Personally, I would not want to carry a bunch of orchids on the day as it is just so tacky and...purple. Again, this is only MY PERSONAL OPINION

So off Bridezilla go,skipping to the horizons in search of the perfect bloom. Maidzilla reminded me of the florist that Groomzilla uses; pureseed.com.my. All in perfect timing.

Price wise it's quite reasonable but delivery charges are RM50 to Penang. Aw heck, better than getting a bunch of carnations and bunga kekwa (chrysantemums) and making the Zillas look like they're attending a funeral or going to the temple.

A. B. C.
D. E.

I like D for the feathers...how appropriate..

PS: Yes, this went on the wrong blog.

Groomzilla's ring

2005-09-16T10:23:00.000+08:00

Groomzilla has expensive tastes. Why can't we just go to the local Poh Kong or even diamonds and platinum for wedding bands?

But NO! This horror of a groom insists that we need to go to some high street brand to get the band. The more expensive the better

So, we ended up in Cartiers. Bridezilla,being the cheena, exclaimed, " Why is that ring stamped with the CoffeeBean & Tea Leaf logo??" Nope, Cartiers do not sponsor Coffee Bean, it's the Cartier's brand. I'm such an embarrasment.

Cartier's was way too expensive to be worth it so we moved on over to Selberen. No winners there as Groomzilla hated all of it. Off to Bridezilla's favourite Tiffany's & Co. ONE hit...RM 5k for a plain platinum band. *Gasp*! I had to drag him out of Tiffany's, which is a first!

And then we hit ground zero at the LoveDiamond in KLCC aka The Carat Club. The crown jewel of the Malaysian jewelry market. But of course. Groomzilla likes pretending that he's posh and not a zilla at all.

End result? The controvesial Brad Pitt ring. For those in the know, this was Brad & Jenn's wedding band designed exclusively by Brad. Daimiani reproduced it en masse and was sued by the chunk of a hunk for USD50mil. Oh poor hunk...design got copied didnt it?

Of course, Groomzilla's without the Daimiani up front, which sounds so cheena anyway.

Personally, I think its a bad idea to be starting off life with a ring design that was worn by a publicly divorced couple. But on my finger another ring will set...heehee. So it's ok

Bridezilla's being very,very bitter about this because she just put in a deposit yesterday to custom make the said ring. Total damage by Groomzilla's stampede? RM 3500 for a platinum band with around 8 diamonds around it.

Kill me, kill me now. I want to get silver with cubic zirconium. Like as if he can tell the diff!

Introducing...Groomzilla

2005-09-14T13:50:00.000+08:00

Now, my little blonde Groomzilla has ideas of his own of what this circus is to be.Lots of ideas. Groomzilla and Bridezilla have fought countless times over the details of this horror of a wedding....here are some:

Groomzilla wants karaoke. Bridezilla, being the new-age cheena, wants nothing to do with that
Groomzilla wants Bridezilla to come decked like a chinese restaurant waitress complete with crotch -high slits.. Bridezilla, being practical, wants to come in a bikini
Groomzilla wants "feng tau" happy techno. Bridezilla, with her excellent taste in music *sic, wants nothing to do with that
Groomzilla doesn't want to wear tails to the wedding in UK. Bridezilla wants to be a princess with the whole nine yards of top hats and walking up the aisle (even though neither are christians)
Bridezilla's culture calls for the groom to pay. Groomzilla's culture calls for the bride to pay.
Bridezilla wants to down hard liquor. Groomzilla wants to guzzle beer.
Groomzilla wants to plan the circus. Bridezilla's insisting that this is her party. It is hers,it's hers, it's hers!!!Go away!
Bridezilla wants to get a rough headcount before invites are sent out due to food and accomodation reservations. Groomzilla refuses to ask.

C'mon now folks. We need your help. Please vote.

Family fun

2005-09-12T22:31:00.000+08:00

Bridezilla is furious.

Grrr.

The only reason I am having my wedding here is because my parents insists on making it a whole big deal.If left up to me,I would have run away to tioman with a few close friends.

And I am bloody paying for it all BY MYSELF.

Pathetic but true..but hey,I said I would foot the bill so that I can do things my way.

And then..

They have the nerve to tell me..."Aiya you wan to plan this plan that...go hire your own wedding planner lar"

Fuck.

It costs about RM10k to hire wedding planner.Is it not enough that I am spending about RM20k+ for the whole thing? Mind you,that can buy me a new kancil.Now they are asking me to hire a bloody wedding planner because I have specific preference on flowers and cake?And all Ive requested is that they HELP me make reservations nearer to the date?

I bloody lost it and just told them off.Fine.Don't bother then.I'd plan a small one all by myself and screw everyone else. Cause get this, more than HALF the invitees are relatives that I haven't seen for donkey years anyway...so it won't make a bloody difference to me.I dont even KNOW who they are.And then they said "just jokin watt..why so serious ah.."

It's not funny mate. Get this, it is MY DAY of being a princess and besides, who have ever heard of a princess paying for her own ?Well, I am. And apparently it aint enough.

And they've decided they dont like me in green.Neither do they like me in dark red. Both the colors that I have chosen for the wedding. But again, guess who's footin the bill?

ME ME ME ME ME!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgggghhh

Hey, I guess the family intereference has started.Am I glad mom in law is far far away.

Introducing...Bridezilla's sidekick and her blog

This is the reason why we get on so well...we blogged about the same thing at the same time.Only difference is that today's moving day, so no time to elaborate. Go see Drey's..:)

The reason for shivering toes

2005-09-12T13:46:00.000+08:00

Further explaination on WHY I need a brand new blog for my verbal diarrhoea. Taken off my other blog. Happy understanding

Reason of being

2005-09-12T13:40:00.000+08:00

Well, hello world.

Like most bloggers, I have a life, a family, real-life friends, virtual-friends , multi-blogs and most importantly, a camera. And of course that addicition of writing everything you experience and make sure the whole wide world knows all about it.

This blog has only one reason for existence.To keep track of the most important event of my whole life. Rest assured that I have a whole other life out there that is not related to weddings and marriage.

So, welcome one, welcome all..to the world of a crazy bride to be and her fast track journey into adulthood.

And yes, I am afraid. Very very afraid. Won't you???

If your answer is no, go away..I hate you..*sniff*
