#1 Wedding Blog

A few weeks back, Malaysia’s New Straits Times featured our Hong Kong wedding news in a 3/4 page article. The article as published on 23 April 2007, entitled “With this Ring, I thee Web”, and we have placed this article copy on our press room section at http://eonenet.com/press/2007nst_wedding.htm

The wedding news coverage started with this paragraph:-
eOneNet.com’s chief executive officer Fione Tan and company co-founder Harrace Lau not only preach information and communication technology (ICT), but also live it.

The couple, who tied the knot in Hong Kong last month, held what they claimed was the first internet themed wedding reception in Asia. And they are planning to hold a similar reception for family and friends in Kuala Lumpur in June.

Read more about the newspaper coverage online in the url above. We’re looking forward to more media coverage on our wedding event in June, from not only newspaper, but bridal magazines and other media too.

I’ve just collected my Malaysia Marriage Registration Certificate today from WanChai, Hong Kong. I had my wedding in Hong Kong on March 4th, 2007 and this was registered in Hong Kong, and my HK marriage certificate was all i had so far.

Malaysia marriage registration certificates comes in 2 versions, one copy for the Male (blue), and another for the Female (pink). Earlier on, my husband asked me what language was stated on the certificate and I cheerfully said English. However on second checking i realised that the items were in Malay, but the details of my Hong Kong address at The Arch was in English (so Harrace was holding on to the certificates and didn’t understand anything beyond our names, and address).

Since i was Malaysian, i also needed to register my overseas marriage with the Malaysian government as well. Normally, when a couple gets married in Malaysia, they will visit the “Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara” / National Registration Department of Malaysia to register their marriage.

I realised that my Malaysia wedding is going to be held in just less than 2 months now, and guess what, i still have not confirmed my wedding make up artist. How do brides normally choose their wedding make up consultant?

The first thing that i did was to search online in Google, and Yahoo using keywords like “malaysia make up artist” , malaysia bridal make up artist, and also malaysia wedding make up artist. To my dismay, i was not able to get much choices of related results.

In the wedding forums, and some wedding blogs, i saw this abbreviated MUA term, and yes, you guessed it right, Make Up Artist.

There were many freelance make up artists such as Lee Kuen, and i saw a nice website of Monica Lee. Surprisingly, i’ve met Lee Kuen in person a few months back when i was attending a wedding fair in Prince Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. As we started chatting, i was surprised that she could actually recognise me as the Internet Marketing coach, from eOneNet. She has read some of our interviews in the local media.

When you are having your wedding, you’ll like to look like a princess when you’re wearing the wedding gown, but what if you have diamantes dropping off from your rented tiara or the missing pearls from your pearl choker? When i took my bridal studio photos, the bridal accessories like crown, tiaras, necklaces and earrings were available at the studio but most of the pieces were having its tear & wear. Luckily i bought lots of my personal collection of jewelry to match the outfits that i will bring be wearing (i didn’t choose my wedding dresses till the day at the bridal studio when i was scheduled for the wedding shoot).

The make up artists were impressed by my jewelry collection, just like the Boy Scout motto, “Always be Prepared”. Crystals would work well as it’s normally silver in colour and sparkles really well. I had an extravagant (slightly over the top piece) crystals choker and several pairs of matching earrings also in crystal. Where did i get most of this? I got these in the Takashimaya store in Ngee Ann City shopping mall along Orchard Road. I remembered i ended up buying S$300 worth of costume jewelry from the same counter.
