Of Vera Wang and little girl dreams
Nov 08, 2007 in Wedding-planner
That title by the way has nothing princessy about it, after finding out that a piece from VW's Fall 2008 collection costs well over 42000 dollars (Singapore dollars)… and also finding out that Villa Park's freehold apartments in not-so-classy Bukit Serdang will only cost me about RM150k…
No, Eric and I are not planning to buy a house yet because, obviously we're poor and we can't afford anything, not even the RM1500 needed to get a tailor-made gown from Lis Bridal.
I'm so broke I'm considering a second-hand dress from trusty old E-bay, after finding out that rental for a dream gown at My Dream Wedding House (that place in Damansara Perdana) will set me back at least RM1300, which allows me the opportunity to keep the dress for three days and two nights only.
Weddings ARE an excuses for people for charge atrocious bits of money, and for well wishers to pretend they're being nice with all their offers of help. HHAHAHAH today I almost snapped at April for telling me that the RM1149 dress at Coast was awesome (because it's true it's Awesome, it's just that I can't afford it… or even if I could afford it I'd rather buy an Ipod with the money).
…
So when a little girl innocently strolled into my site and said that the diamond on my ring is huge and offered a friendly guess, 'Let me guess, is it 1 carat?' I nearly burst and became all snarly and evil.
Maybe it's because I was flipping through some magazines a while ago and then I saw a 1.06 carat ring (Colour G, VS1) goes for about 20k?
Madness the prices that these people charge for bling-blings.
So no… the ring is NOT a one-carat ring. I'd kill Eric if he spent so much money on an ornament…

I need discounts. Discounts! Help!
