Designer shoes or boutique shoes?
Choosing the bridal shoes that match the style of your wedding gown is important. I can’t be choosing a shoe that I love so much but does not match my wedding gown. Is so hard! Some of my friend ordered their wedding gowns from the well-known gown designer, so they are able bring along their wedding gown to see if the design / style of the shoes match their wedding gown. But as for me I need to buy a pair of shoes before I know what types of gowns I’ll be choosing. Even, if I have chosen, I don’t think Mon’Liza would allow me to bring their gown here and there. Now, I have to decide whether to get designer shoes or boutique shoes?
Designer shoes - I am thinking of getting a designer shoe for my actual wedding day. Firstly because I want my wedding shoe to be one-in-a-kind. Secondly, as it is a tailored shoe, I guess should be very comfortable. However, it might be costly.
Boutique shoes - I should be buying my photo shooting shoes from boutiques. It might take a longer time to hunt for one.

Boutique shoes - I should be buying my photo shooting shoes from boutiques. It might take a longer time to hunt for one.
Should I focus on the comfort of the shoes and ignore the design or vise verse?
Comfortable pair of bridal shoes is important not only for your wedding day as you need to walk a lot but also for your bridal photo shooting. You need to smile a lot and smile sweetly during your bridal photo shooting. If you are wearing an uncomfortable pair of bridal shoes, do you think you can still smile? Not to say smile sweetly. If you can’t smile, do you think you will look pretty in the photo?
A comfortable pair of shoes starts with the right size. Don’t choose a pair of bridal shoes which is too big or too small. You may face difficulty in walking if you choose a pair of bridal shoes that is too big or painful if it is too small. There are time when you found the best design pair of bridal shoes that match perfectly with your wedding gown but the size that you want is out of stock. Should you buy 1 size smaller or 1 size bigger, just because that’s the best design? I think you should reconsider of buying it as there are a lot of bridal shoes out there. There is no point of buying a pair of shoes that has the best design but will make you feel uncomfortable.
Besides, you should buy the bridal shoes a few weeks before your wedding or photo shooting. A new pair of bridal shoes is normally painful unless you bought a custom made shoes. Wear your shoes at home so that your shoe will be adjusted according the shape of your foot.
Not forget about the height of your bridal shoes. If you are a person who wears 12 hours a day of 4 inch shoes, then wearing a stiletto heel should not be a problem. However, if you are not that kind of person, try to choose a lower height range of high heels. No worries, you will still look pretty and comfortable at the same time.

What colour of the bridal shoe should I be buying?
I have chosen a white wedding gown and a sky blue evening gown for my Port Dickson bridal photo shooting. Therefore, getting a pair of white bridal shoes fit the best for both gowns I’ve chosen. The thing is, my next bridal photo shooting (indoor and outdoor) will be on 23 June 2009 and I have not chosen my gowns. What colour of bridal shoe should I be getting?
Well, I know it is not possible to get a same colour of gown and shoe but at least a perfect match. After considering this and that, I should getting a white or silver bridal shoes as I think it won’t go wrong with any colours of the gowns.
Choosing white is even better as white is the truest colour and therefore it can dyed to other colour after the wedding. However, I'm not sure if there’s any shoes maker in Malaysia that does shoes dyeing. If there’s, its worth investing money in a better quality white bridal shoes as you can wear it over and over.

Should I be buying a pair high heeled or flat shoe?
I always imagine of wearing a pair of very high heeled (stilettos) shoes on my wedding day. Probably I think they’ll make me hotter and sexier. Hahaha! Silly me! But bear in mind that wearing a stilettos shoe may not be so comfortable and will be at a risk of falling down.
So, choosing a “right height” pair of shoes is important. Well, if you are so use to wearing a 4 inches pair of shoes, I don’t think is a problem of wearing it on your wedding. Remember, you won't look great falling down with difficult heels and you can’t smile when your feet are in pain. Choose a shoe that you are confident with it (you know you won’t be falling down with it and you know you won’t feel discomfort and pain with it)
Right height that bring me confidence:-

Right height that bring me confidence:-
- Wedding ceremony – about 3 to 4 inches as I need not walk a lot
- Wedding banquet – Less than 3 inches as I need to walk to table by table to say hi to my guests, friends and relatives
- Photo Shooting in Port Dickson – 2 pairs (about 3 inches and about 1-2 inches as I need to run during the photo shooting)
- Outdoor Photo Shooting – Sport shoes (yes, i'm not joking)
- Indoor Photo Shooting – 3-4 inches
Bridal shoes @ Wedding shoes
I’ll be going for my outdoor bridal photo shooting on 22 April 2009 at Port Dickson (PD), Negeri Sembilan. Wendy, my consultant from Mon’Liza asked me to bring along a pair of high heels and a pair of not so high heels as I need to run during the photo shooting. While she was talking to me, I just nod my head like I have no questions about the shoes. In face, many questions cross my mind.
- Should I be buying a pair high heeled or flat shoe?
- What colour of the bridal shoe should I be buying?
- What type of design should I be buying?
- Should I focus on the comfort of the shoes and ignore the design or vise verse?

Marriage taboo
The couples should not take off your shoes before their chinese wedding ceremony is over because taking off their shoes are like they have broken their promises – I need to wear my shoes in the house as well? How if my legs hurt due to new pair of shoes? I think it’s also not a good practice in Malaysia (all Malaysian take off their shoes before entering the house) Who is going to sweep the floor then?
The couple will first enter the groom's family home under the pants of the groom's unmarried elder brother(s) as a show of respect and so that the bride and groom will not spite the unmarried status of the elder brother(s) – Eeeww.. Serious? Any other alternative ways in showing respect?
The groom will give the bride's family at the bride's home visit a whole roast pig with ears and tail, if the groom was satisfied that his wife was married as virgin or an imperfect roast pig (ears or tail broken), if the bride is not a virgin. - Serious? How to carry a roast pig to bride's family in our little car and ensure is unbroken?
To avoid clashing of luck, the couple should not attend a funeral; attend a wedding; visit a lady who is in confinement (i.e. within one month of giving birth) on the same month of the couple's wedding or for one / three month months (depending) before and after the couple's wedding - Most of my friends are getting married this year and their wedding are about the same time as mine. I can’t attend their wedding. sob~ sob~ Sad that I can't attend their wedding and they can't attend mine too but i'm still happy for them. I would like to take this opportunity to wish them Happy Wedding!
Not everyone can attend or participate in the wedding ceremony (e.g. to be the bridesmaids and bestmen, to be the photographer, driver, etc), or touch the newly wedding’s clothing or anything in the new home. Persons born under horoscopes that clash on the wedding day are not invited as bridesmaids and bestmen, or invited to the wedding day activities. However, they can attend the wedding banquet. Persons whose family member just passed/persons in mourning and pregnant woman should not to attend wedding ceremony - Those who that born in the year of Rabbit can't be our bridesmaids, bestmen or even driver. Sorry! Loh Tat Pit said you are VIP, should just sit and relax.. lolz
The bride and groom should not be meeting each other on the day before the wedding – Can it be possible? My bf will need to go to the bridal shop for car decoration on his own? Pity him! I read some modified version of this taboo, the bride and groom should not sleep under the same roof the night before the wedding. This sounds more reasonable.
No one should be sleeping or sitting on the bridal bed after its installation and blessing for fertility. If however, the groom needs to sleep on it before the wedding he should be accompanied by a young boy and preferably born in the year of the dragon because leaving one side of the bridal bed empty is considered a curse on the health of the couple – My bf’s brother is so lucky. He can sleep on or sit on the new bed before me. But do my bf need to sleep in the new bad?
If one of the parents passes away, the bride or groom has to be in mourning, the wedding will either be conducted within 100 days of the death, or postponed till 3 years (1000 days) after the death – 1000 days? Choi! Choi! Choi!
Everything should be in even numbers so all red packets should contain even numbered amounts too – So “angpao” that I'm going to receive is going to be RM200 and not RM100? Just kidding
Do not use yellow or white chrysanthemums as these flowers are normally use at the funerals or at visits to graves - Luckily I don't like chrysanthemums
White and black are mourning colours and should not be used for wedding decorations - But my mom said if white or/and black with mixture of red is fine
To avoid clashing with the bride’s luck, everyone in the groom’s home will hide to avoid the bride when the couple enters the groom’s home for the first time and back to the living room when the couple has entered the bridal room - almost impossible in this era
When the bride enters the groom's home, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law should not face the door, watching the bride walk in to avoid misunderstanding or unhappiness in the future - Oh no, as I said, almost impossible
When the bride walks out of her home, she should change her another pair of formal shoes indicating that she did not take away the good luck from her parents - Now, I need to pairs of wedding shoes.

Second Visit to Loh Tat Pit
Today morning, we have an appointment with Loh Tat Pit to collect the details of our wedding ceremony on the dates and things to be done. We have chosen an auspicious day for our wedding recommended by him earlier. Today is to look into detail on when to 'guo dai lai', bed installation, hair dressing, actual day timing and etc.
6 December 2009, my wedding date
Guest what? The famous “fortune teller” that my mom was telling me is the famous Chinese Master that I heard so much from the internet and friends, Loh Tat Pit.
Weeks after the basic information was given to Loh Tat Pit, my mom gave them a call to obtain a list of auspicious date for my wedding. The auspicious dates for my wedding that given by Loh Tat Pit are……
To choose a date from the list given is not easy as we need to take care of everyone’s opinions. For example, I like to hold my wedding on Saturday because my friends and relatives from outstation need not to take leave on Monday or need not to rush back to their hometown right after my wedding dinner. It’s tiring! I don’t want my wedding turned up to be a tiring day for my friends and relatives.
After a few rounds of discussion, finally the date is set. Phew! 06.12.2009 is the date. My mom called Loh Pat Tit again to inform them that we have chosen 06.12.2009 so that they can do the rest of the calculations. My mom also confirmed that we will be going over to listen to the briefing on our “si san bat zi” on….

Loh Tim Kee
Well, I don't know much about Loh Tim Kee as I went to Loh Tat Pit. However, my grandma told me that they were in business for about 40 years already.
When is or when is not auspicious for wedding
Wedding is a ceremony in which two people are united in marriage. Since wedding is to unite the two people and two is an even number, therefore even numbered months and date are preferred. Following months in the Lunar Calendar should be avoided for wedding:-
- First month - Chinese New Year month;
- Third month - All Soul's Day or Cheng Beng month;
- Forth month – “Sei” month (die month); and
- Seventh month – Hungry Ghost Festival month.
Loh Tat Pit @ Loh Tit Pat
Loh Tat Pit is one of the famous Chinese Sifu that helps in choosing the best date to get married.
On the first visit to Loh Tat Pit, you need to submit information needed in choosing the best date and to make an appointment for your second visit. However, after submission of the information needed you may give them a call in about a week time to obtain a list of suggested date and to confirm the appointment for your second visit. Before your second visit, you need to give them a call again to confirm the selected wedding date as they need the date to do other calculations such as when to go facial, when to cut your hair and etc.
Second visit is to meet up with Loh Tat Pit to listen his briefing on the “si san bat zi” of the new couple. If he’s free, he will tell you “What and when should be done?” and “What shouldn’t be done?”. He will also teach you how to use those items in the box they give such as ang paos, labels, etc. If he’s busy, his assistant will explain the same. Please be there sharp as they might not entertain you, if you are late.

Basic information needed in choosing an auspicious wedding day
As I mentioned earlier, my mom just asked for our (my bf and I) date and time of birth, thinking that is adequate. Ring! Ring! Ring! My phone rang. My mom called to ask for my bf’s parents’ chinese name and zodiac. “Emmm… I don’t know”, I told my mom. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t know their chinese name (because I can’t read Chinese character) and not that I don’t know their name. So my mom called my bf for his parents name and zodiac.

Choosing an auspicious date for my wedding
I’m engaged! Now, I’ve decided to tie a knot. The very first thing to do is choosing an auspicious date for my wedding. As my bf and I know that both our family are not very superstitious, therefore we decided to choose the wedding date on our own without consulting any chinese master. 20.09.2009 is the date! I love the date so much “20092009”. It is unique and easy to remember.
I thought that’s going to be my wedding date. Oh no! I need to postpone. 20.09.2009 is our national public holiday - Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Both parents will be busy in the “fasting” month and would have no time to help us in our preparation. Hence, we need to postpone our wedding date. I have no idea when should our wedding date postpone to, so do my bf. My bf decided to get a consultant to help us in choosing the auspicious date for our wedding. But we have no idea on how or who to consult. After some research, I found out that there are a few ways in choosing an auspicious date such as consulting:-
- a chinese monk; or
- a fortune teller.
or searching on your own using:-
- chinese calendar; or
- chinese almanac.
About a week later, my bf and I discussed about getting a consultant with my family members. My mom told us that she went to a very famous “fortune teller” to choose the date for her. My bf and I, thought of getting the same “fortune teller”, seeing my mother has a very happy family. My mom asked us to write down our date and time of birth in a paper as that are the basic information the “fortune teller” needs. Can’t wait to know when will be the selected date. Wait… Wait… and Wait….

My mom asked us to write down our date and time of birth in a paper as that are the basic information the “fortune teller” needs. Can’t wait to know when will be the selected date. Wait… Wait… and Wait….
My birthday
“You wear the ring, it means a yes to me!”, said my bf. I moved my head up and down with a shy smile showing an agreement to his statement. I can still recall his face expression, he’s so so happy about it, and so do I. Don’t think I’ll ever forget this sweet and happy the moment. My birthday is now my proposal day. I love it though. A new journey for my bf and I begin….
Proposal Ring!
