18th May - The Day We Said 'I Do'

I loved every moment of the our wedding, but the solemnisation would be arguably the highlight of the weekend. Saying 'I Do' over sunset at the Ginger Terrace at The Sentosa Resort and Spa, had been as close to our idea of a dream wedding as we had imagined. The short and simple ceremony was witnessed by our closest friends and relatives, and a four-course western dinner followed.

Our friends were excited as we were that afternoon, and the little junior suite was action packed!


May I share a handsome image of my husband getting ready for his big day! hehe.



Pancakes the co-groom is very much part of the action that day - he had a really important job, as the ring-BEARer! Notice his little ring pillow my great pal Huiqin had painstakingly sewn for him.



Carla, one of the bridesmaids, played an equally important role of the ring-bearer's custodian, and we see them bonding with a little friendship here! :D


You might remember me mentioning how hard the make up artist had to work in an earlier post. That's true again, and the poor guests and the groom kept waiting.. and waiting.. for the bride!




Finally, the bridesmaids and I made our entrance! And the forgetful bride had actually forgotten about the flowers for the bridesmaids X(


Alas... but life goes on! More images of the solemnisation!

Do you call this the 'hand-over'? haha.


The solemnisation was helmed by Mrs Chia Swee Tin, definitely the best JP I have ever witnessed in action. And no, I'm not saying this just because she was our solemniser! ;P

Mrs Chia encouraged her couples write their own vows, and so we did.



Our little scripts in our hands as we exchanged vows.


And we exchanged rings.



And the groom kissed the bride (or was it the other way round?) ;D









Here's another view of the Ginger Terrace, while the certificate was signed.


And there you are .. Mr and Mrs Chia Perq Jon :)
