For the wedding photoshoots. It was two Saturdays ago when we finally headed over to StarEast to finalize on the dates, the locations and most importantly, the gowns. With such a wide range of wedding and night gowns to choose from, 2 floors of them, I already expected to waste spend at least half a day there.
But miraculously, everything was kau-tim in just two and a half hours, Mid-Valley also cannot finish walk if shopping. 7 gowns were carefully selected out of the 89,372,674 available. It was so freakishly fast that I didn't even get to complete a level of Puzzle Bubble on my NDS. Before leaving, I was slapped with yet another huge bill which accounts for the second part of the 3 phase payment plan, huhuhu.
To find out the reason, a careful analysis was done over the past few days and the result, a guide for all the guys out there on how to survive and avoid absolute boredom during the selection process:
#1 - Have her bring a friend who has similar fashion taste/sense to assist in her selection, it will really, really help! In our case, I thank auntie june from the bottom of my heart for tagging along, a word of advice from you would be equivalent to me blabbering for an hour and still couldn't get through to her. However, the consequence of this would be, of course, you being ignored most of the time, hence, refer to item #4.
#2 - Choose the right person from the studio to assist you, friend-friend him/her also, maintaining a healthy relationship with this individual will prove to be extremely helpful. In our case, any words of praise would not be enough for Ms. Ally, the Asst. Manager of StarEast. The amount of attention and assistance coming from her knows no boundaries, to the extend that she even know the type of cuttings and designs that'll suit Jacklyn. Needless to say, quite a few of the selected ones are her recommendations. Got hidden perks as well, cannot tell here *smirks*
#3 - Other than lending a helping eye, the selection process has nothing to do with us, totally. Other than doing the payments, that is. From what I get to know, the attire for the guys will be selected (by them, not you) based on the gowns, to complement, so to said. How sad it is right? We can probably catch a quick nap on the sofa since there's already #1 to help her out (that's why #1 is important) or you can proceed to #4.
#4 - Bring along something to keep yourself occupied, be it a book, a magazine or a handheld console because dozing off in the studio is still an unsightly behaviour. The advice is to have something that doesn't require that much attention since your future-wife-to-be will still be asking for your opinion although not taken seriously. Hence you can preset yourself with the following automated replies during the selection :: 1) Cannot Make It and 2) Very Pretty.
And there you have it, the ultimate survival guide for guys during the gown selection process. For a totally different view on it, please click here to be redirected to Jacklyn's post which has pictures, stolen from me obviously which I also curi-curi take one, lols so I won't repost them here. Anyway, if you find the above guide helpful, please show me some love but then I'd rather have you donate some cash to Jed's Wedding Fund.
Thank you very much, remember to donate.
