TERMINALLY ILL MAN MARRIES BELOVED IN SGH HOSPITAL BED -- THEN SLIPS INTO COMA AND DIES 8 DAYS LATER Post date: 27 Oct 2014 - 3:40pm Terminally ill Joseph and Edna exchanged their wedding vows on 15 Oct in Singapore General Hospital (SGH), while he was in the hospital bed. A few hours after the wedding ceremony, he slipped into a coma. He passed away 8 days later. Joseph was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer, a few months before their wedding. His condition worsened, but instead of cancelling the wedding, they decided to hold it where Joseph was -- in the hospital bed. In the video, he changed out of the hospital's gown into his SAF CDO No. 1 Uniform for the wedding. Family members and friends gathered around his hospital bed, and witnessed the exchange of wedding vows and rings. The video montage was created by Joseph's buddy, Ho Kah Meng. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/terminally-ill-man-marries-beloved-in-sgh-hospital-bed-then-slips-into-coma-and

'Bigger is not always better' Singapore - Wedding planners said it is common for couples to try to outdo each other. Ms Maria Jaffar, owner of MJ Wedding, said couples even take loans to hold grand ceremonies. Some struggle later to repay their debts. Ms Maria has been in the industry for more than 10 years and organises weddings almost every weekend - except during the fasting month. She said that even though most of her clients promptly settle their payments, about five every year fail to do so. She said: "Some still owe me money after the wedding and they would come up with all kinds of excuses not to pay me. "I still wish them all the best and will not pursue them any further for their payment. Every year, I write off more than $10,000 in bad debts." Ms Mimie Addam, who owns Tamara Bridal, insists that couples settle all their payments one week before their wedding day. Ms Mimie, who is in her 40s and has been running her company for seven years, advises couples to save before their big day and spend within their means. She said: "I've arranged ceremonies that cost as low as $6,000 and I've also helped plan some that cost about $50,000." Ms Maria said: "I have this advice for couples - be prepared to make heavy losses when you hold a wedding. "There is no way you can recuperate your expenses from your wedding 'hongbao'." Wedding loans taken by Malay couples contributing to divorce rates by Shaffiq Alkhatib Singapore - It took him three years to save $10,000 for his wedding ceremony in 2007. But his final bill was $25,500. Then, for more than two years, Hafiz (not his real name) tried to settle the debt, using his $2,500 monthly salary. The technician's parents eventually had to help him with his payments. Financial troubles, like Hafiz's, have contributed to a breakdown of marriages in the Malay-Muslim community. That troubled the Government enough for the Ministry of Social and Family Development to revamp a marriage preparation course for the community. Last month, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister- in-charge of Muslim Affairs, said the course will include financial planning. Hafiz, 36, wished he had someone to check with before going ahead with his grand wedding. He said he wanted to make his wife happy. He said: "Before our wedding, she went to a few of our friends' to get some ideas. "She told me that she wanted ours to be bigger and grander than the others. And I agreed with her out of love." But he couldn't pay. So he had to take a bank loan of $10,000. Then he borrowed about $5,000 more from his relatives to hold the wedding at the void deck of his flat in Tampines. He said with a chuckle: "Malays say that to be a bridegroom is similar to being a king for a day. "But apparently, for me, being a 'king' turned out to be a very expensive affair." Mr Hafiz said his sales assistant wife earns about $1,500 a month. Pricey The decoration at his wedding alone cost him thousands of dollars. He recalled that for his wedding, the ceiling and pillars of the void deck were covered with fabric. Coloured cloth was also used to cover the chairs and tables, which were topped with fresh flowers. "The void deck looked like a hotel function room. It was very beautiful. But it cost me close to $10,000 just for the decoration alone. "In the end, my parents, who just received their CPF payouts, had to help me pay off my wedding debts," he said. Hafiz has a 30-year-old sister who is single. "She has a fiance and they intend to get married soon. But they told me that they will try to make their ceremony as simple as possible. "My sister and her husband-to-be said that they will just have a small gathering for the 'akad nikah' (solemnisation), and that's it. Maybe that's a good idea after all I've been through," he said with a laugh. Now that his debts are out of the way, he intends to start a family with his wife and buy a flat together. Said Hafiz: "I don't have to worry about my debts any more and can move forward with my married life. "Perhaps my wife and I should have thought things over before we went all out for our wedding." Help with managing finances Cinta Abadi (Malay for Eternal Love), the Ministry of Social and Family Development-run course for the Malay-Muslim community, is targeting more than 2,000 soon-to-wed couples each year. Financial education will be an integral part of the course, The Straits Times reported. In announcing the course, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister-in- charge of Muslim Affairs, said young Muslim families need to better understand the importance of help with managing finances managing their finances. Dr Yaacob had said that it is important for couples to live within their means. "It's nice that you're falling in love and having a family, but ultimately you need to deal with the finances," he said. please spend within your means!! excercise financial prudence!! dont borrow!! save up and pay cash!!!

These are really down to earth people, hopefully more couples may want to do the same

Hi all, Can anyone share what is the lower range of wedding bridal package with bridal shops? What does the package include? Also, is DIY much cheaper? e.g. I rent only wedding gown & hire freelance videographer, photographer, beautician etc... What is the current rate for hiring these people - per day or per hour? I'm not sure how much I should budget but I hope to settle for below S$2k if possible. Thanks

Am doing a survey at the moment, with regards to including one or more motorcycles in your wedding motorcade. 1) Will you be interested to include a Class 2 motorcycle to lead your wedding motorcade, as seen in VIP escorts for officials? The motorcycle will only be responsible in leading the motorcade, and not stopping traffic or clearing the path, etc (which is against the law). 2) If yes, why? And how much are you willing to pay for a 10 hours package for this motorcycle? 3) If no, why? Any comments or suggestions? Thank you for your time, cheers!

Hi pals... can recomend me a restaurant to celebrate 10yr wedding aniversary? thanks

Hi folks, Need to check with you guys on the rental charges for wedding cars....how much does it cost and which rental shops do you recommend? What other stuffs shd i look out for Need to start planning. Thanks in advance

hello bro and sis, my friend is doing wedding outdoor shoot tomorrow, anyone got better idea? he only thou of the following (which is common)... ideas are welcome - hort park - labrador park - marina barrage - fullerton hotel thanks all.

Reputable = Exquisite = $$$? [laugh] Jokes aside, Samantha & her fiance should look for restaurants instead of hotels which typically charges higher for everything: food, ambience, service, venue, etc And probably they are looking at weekends which explains the $1,450/table charge , excluding taxes some more. Unless they expect their guests to all bao BIG BIG ang pows to help pay for or subsidise the cost, they should really source for cheaper alternatives or even none at all. Have known couples to squabble over everything leading up to the wedding which is regrettable Last thing they need is a glaring deficit over the wedding dinner budget which could not be recovered by the red packets collected. From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/premium/forum-...-point-20130226 Hefty price hikes for wedding banquet WHEN my fiance and I inquired with several reputable hotels about the cost of holding a wedding banquet, we were told that the cost of a table for 10 guests averaged about $1,450 (excluding taxes). What was more shocking was that prices were set to increase by 5 per cent if we did not act fast. Friends working in the hospitality industry confirmed that prices for banquet tables increase by an average of 5 per cent every year. However, the quality of the food does not differ. Even the rate of inflation does not justify such a yearly increase. What industry regulations are in place to ensure that hotels and restaurants do not overcharge? Samantha Chan Wei Bing (Ms)

Recently, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, a Malaysian professional badminton player, wed his girlfriend of 11 years, Datin Wong Mew Choo. As a sport car lover, Lee ensured that his wedding entourage is no less impressive than his Olympics achievements. From the video, his wedding entourage consists of a couple of Bentley Continental Flying Spur sedans, Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Even the traffic police was activated to ensure law and order during the wedding proceedings. The first sports car that Lee owned is the Nissan GT-R. By winning a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics, Lee was awarded RM 300,000 plus a life-long pension of RM 3,000 a month via the Malaysian government's Sports Incentive Scheme. In addition, The Star Media Group, a division of Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd, gave Lee RM100,000. Lee also won a silver media back in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lee's wife is also a badminton player who retired from the sport in 2011.

Really have to go to that extent meh? Had decided with wifey during our wedding that we would accept losses as long as all all intended guests turned up. Our mentality then was that it would be our pleasure for folks to share our joy rather than to focus if we could recoup our wedding costs. From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...at_wedding.html Posted on 07 Nov 2012 Bride confronts friend for not giving an ang bao at her wedding Source: AsiaOne This article was contributed by the STOMP Team. A tweet by a bride who confronted her friend for not giving a red packet at her wedding has drawn flak from netizens after going viral. The tweet has since been retweeted numerous times by people who strongly object to the brides behaviour. Some have even questioned if marriages have become more of a business rather than a ceremony and celebration. In her tweet, the bride also tells her friend that if he or she was unable to give a red packet due to 'unforeseen circumstances', then that guest should let the couple know. The bride also mention that she and her family counted the red packets against the guest list.

Hi It has been many years since my wife and I have taken our wedding photos. I am thinking of re-taking our wedding photos, but this time with our young kids. Any recommended photo studio where to do it? Tks.
