if u want 090909 u gonna need to book the date early (i think it is too late now). Special dates are booked way in advance. Gov office cannot accommodate more than a certain number of marriages a day. The putrajaya one only does it from morning till lunch time.

ok so My gf and I went to MV just like you but before that we checked out the bridal shops first and also talked her friends. Heh I can tell u all her friends have horror stories to tell like they don't tell u that the extra expenses like fake fingernails/eyelashes, add pictures must add money, keep all the softcopy pictures must add money (this one i asked and they want 2k for it, they get the tou tai to take ur pictures (not the sifu), if u want to add another day of shooting must add money, u want to lace the borders of the pages must add money etc. My advice here is to know what you want and, when they give you the basic package, ask for it for free.

The best place to get good deals is at bridal exhibitions. They are more flexible there as they are competing with other bridal shops. If you go to their shop and sign up they are less flexible. My photoshoot cost me RM3.5k which is not bad because they gave us extra pages, more softcopy pictures, lace binding for the pages of the books and some other stuff that I can't remember (I'm the guy mah I just pay). But in the end also increase to RM4.2k because we decided to shoot over 2 days. first day indoor and second day outdoor (Port Dickson) and she like an extra dress so had to pay for that as well.

If you want more tips feel free to pm me or let me know via pm that you have a question in this thread.

Added on July 20, 2009, 12:18 pmOh ya the bridal shop that I went to is Ever After at SS2. They have a sifu photographer there that don't charge extra for his services. he is quite good. They are nice ppl. Not as bad as the horror stories that you hear about.

And you mentioned about makeup. My gf also likes the natural look and she found a makeup artist who does it pretty well and is quite accomodating to your schedule. Heard some horror stories the makeup artist too busy lah, come late lah, cincai do lah etc. I don't have her contact number so if u're serious I can ask my gf kua... but i think she posted her services in Malaysianbrides.com
