Many of our friends were somewhat confused by the somewhat unconventional schedule of our 2-day wedding - customary ceremony in day 1 followed by lunch reception for relatives and parents' guests, solemnisation followed by a dinner reception for our closest friends and family members in day 2.
Here's my attempt to recount the events.. memories are not that fresh now, but hopefully I salvage the those wondrous things that happened over the Vesak Day weekend.
My poor make up artist Cui Cui (or Ophelia as she's known in the forums) has lots to do to conceal those panda eyes and countless flaws that shouldn't be seen on brides. Started way before sunrise to get the job done, and I must say Cui Cui was fantastic! Sorry no 'before' photo to post here *blush*.
We were cheating on traditions - my eyes were glued to the handphone as Jon video-called me once he left his place.
My mum-in-law preping her son for his big day!
Meanwhile, my bridesmaids were busy at the kitchen executing their plans for the groom's great challenge... LOL... Kudos also to my bro and mum who helped with errands.
My cousin Yaohui waited patiently for the groom's arrival, to ceremonially welcome his arrival.
Groom and entourage stuck outside at the mercy of the bridesmaids. Groom went on the wrong side of the lens to do his usual thing.
The bridal team, comprising 2 great teachers, designed a fantastic quiz which faltered even PhDs.
This question sure flustered the PhD. Hehehe.
And too bad, no escaping of tasty door treats which shook those taste buds!
Jon was probably most prepared for the final challenge - to croon his way to the hiding bride. Didn't think he satisfied the bridesmaids' instructions of including the keywords in the lyrics.. but oh well...
He valiantly charged forward with Pancakes the Co-groom, to kiss the elated bride! XD
Off we went, to the Groom's place, which is now also our current dwelling.
Coming up next.. tea ceremony, banquets, more great memories...
