Wedding Album
Some pictures from my wedding album.. I've loaded them and more in the wedding website as well.. Will load the pictures of the actual day soon.. do check them out okie..
6 Days Since..
It's been 6 days since the wedding.. and I'm so relieved that it's all over! No more stress and worries.. heavenly!
The wedding went rather well despite glitches here and there.. I didn't get much sleep nor able to walk and breath normally till the 30th, on monday. Thanks to all the family members and close friends, we had a long lasting wonderful memories of the ceremony and the two dinners..
I would really like to convey my deepest gratitude to a few people over here, who'd selflessly lend a helping hand during, before and after the wedding:
My mum and my dad: Thanks to the both of you, we had a wonderful wedding dinner in Johor. I know how strung up and stressed you both were settling everything over there by yourselves. Thanks also for your understanding, that we both couldn't help much financially and in person as we both were trying to get things done over here!
My two wonderful bridesmaids - My sis Jolene and my sis Anna: Jo- Thanks for the helping hand on both the days.. you were wonderfully attentive and noisily fun to be around.. I'm really grateful to have such a wonderful mei in you!
Anna - Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!!! A million thanks couldn't convey my gratitude. You've taken sooooo many days off just to help me settle all the nitty gritty stuffs.. I'm so blessed to have another sister in you.. Know that you'll have all the help you need when it's your turn okie!
My wonderful cousins: YiQi, JingJing, YiWen, IRing, ILee, Ming, MeiLing, WeiShiong, JiaHer - without you guys, the wedding would never be so much fun. Thanks for all your supports. You guys travelled so far and wide just to accomodate me.. On top of that, you guys turned into impromptu emcees, photographer, videographer, usherer, and driver without as much as a grumble. Both me and Aaron are so extremely touched!
Aaron's wonderful band of brothers : 9 - Thanks for all the help on the montages! Because of us, you have to rush up and down, in and out... and as if that's not enough... you didn't get much sleep either.. *HuGz* (from Aaron)..
Faye, Rayson - Thanks for helping with the photographs and video.. *HuGz* from me.. :)
Noel, Chris S, Chris T, ShiXing, Dave, Vincent - You guys have to down cups of chilli juice, lemon juice, bittergourd juice and pure ribena just to help Aaron into my mum's house. Thanks also for being there during the dinner to help usher, being the emcees, settling the AVA, and helped Aaron downing more liquor. You guys are the greatest! HuGz!
Ah Beng and Marcus - You both have a wonderful looking Fits! And Marcus, your horn Rawks!! Lol..
To all of Aaron's and my relatives... who'd helped financially and spiritually. We have so many wonderful aunties and uncles.. who cares so so much for us.. Thanks and We Love You guys!!
And last but not the least... My Wonderful Hubby: I know how stressed you were the last few days befor the wedding. Having to settle all the montages and video well wishes from friends, and also the seatings and list of attendees for the dinner. I know I didn't help much as the days draws nearer and I grew more and more uptight.. but I really do want you to know that I do appreciate all that you've done and that I am really really happy with you.. you're right sweetie.. at the end of the day.. even if we don't have anybody else.. we still have each other.. and my wonderful family!!! LOL..
We didn't manage to break even over here in Singapore (we were not even close!) but both Aaron and I agreed we had the greatest time of our lives that night! Thanks everybody.. for making an appearance and lending your support on our special day!
We made a profit on the other hand over in Johor.. unfortunately.. we didn't pay for the dinner.. Lol.. money's all my dad's and my mum's. Of the 15 tables.. both Aaron and me only knew our relatives there.. All others were my mum's and dad's friends.. but their support and warm greetings were so sincere that you'd feel that you've known them all your life.. Thanks again.. we had a wonderful time..
I cried on both nights.. if anybody notice.. they were tears of joy.. On the 2nd night of the wedding, I met again my wonderful aunt who'd moved to Kelantan some years ago.. I missed her so much..
There, I met again my shushu and shenshen.. whom I've lost contact for ten over years and have just recently got back in touch..
My cousins and uncle and auntie travelled all the way from Penang just to witness our joy.. It's a wonder I didn't cry throughout the wedding.. LOL..
How wonderful the feeling is, to know that it was your wedding that draws your family ties so much closer..
All in all.. how do i rate my wedding? A 10/10.. simply because it's MY wedding.. I love everything.. from the chinois settings to the old fashion YUM SENG! It's a once in a lifetime thing.. call me old fashion.. but I would never miss it for the world..
So it's now back into reality.. me and Hubby's bent on settling all our debts before this years out.. To those of you who wanted to know when's Jr coming along.. well.. no plans for him/her so far.. we want to be in a better financial position first.. unless.. well.. accidents do happen.. LOL..
10 more days to go..
Here's the lists of the things we've done so far:
Here's the list of things that still needs to be done:
Ok, the list of to do is way longer than the list of things we've done!! Lol..
Of Birthdays and Weddings...
OF BIRTHDAYS..
Today's my dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy!
Mine came and went a week or so ago.. Aaron invited his Xiongdi's over to our house to discuss the wedding details.. and celebrated my birthday as well! Everyone came with a gift.. Thanks a lot guys!
I received 3 handbags this year! And I love each of them. Aaron bought me a Benetton bag, Mummy and Daddy gave me a Guess! handbag, and ShiXing, Chris T, and Ninja gave me a Puma bag. I received two sets of perfumes, one from Aaron's Aunt Lucy (it's a birthday cum wedding gift) and the other from Faye and MeiYi. Both these darlings (Faye and MeiYi, not Aaron's aunt) also gave me a super cute and pretty Tomy Nohohon ShuangXi figure! I'm going to put it in Toshi before the wedding..
Got a very lovely picture frame from Anna and Dave, a box of chocolate from Chris S, a bottle of white wine from Noel and... a Stitch Kiki Ippatsu from 9 and Josephine!!! I love it! Hubby blogged about how everybody enjoyed playing with it... do check it out..
That's not all.. Hubby told me I still have a present from my in-laws whome just came back from their trip from Taiwan.. and Jo! You still owe me my birthday gift!..
OF WEDDINGS...
The wedding's in less than 3 weeks.. I'm getting very nervous..
There's a lot to do, but I'm not that busy until I had to stop to catch my breath.. I do still have time to go to work, I still have time for hubby, and I still have time for myself.. but the free time I have, is just a blur.. I'll grow very lethargic.. a little lost, and feel completely clueless! Maybe it's the nerves..
Have I got everything ready? That's what everybody's been asking me.. I don't know.. I'm just doing everything that comes to mind.. keeping my fingers crossed that no last minute things will crop up..
I made some wrist corsages for my sisters (jie-meis) for that day.. Oh.. did I mentioned our theme colour is blue? So my jie-meis and Aaron's xiong-dis (brothers) will be wearing blue that day.. there's gonna be a whole lot of blues! Hur Hur..
I love the shade of blue! It's really bright and cheery, but as Nana commented that it might clash with other shades of blue! Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.. as I do everything else.. Check out the butterfly... cute huh...
Attention Family and Friends..
We started a wedding site in mywedding.com
Do check out the website! I've uploaded the photos of our ROM back in 2005, as well as some information of the upcoming wedding.. Check it out ya.. and remember, to sign the guestbook before you leave okie..
Aaron and I will keep updating the site, so do visit more often!
P/s: To all that's involved in the wedding party, I've actually lifted your photos from friendster (hur hur.. hope you guys don't mind!).. If you want us to post a better picture of yourself, just let us know.. okie!
Wedding Preparation Step 3...
We initially agreed on not taking any of those pre-wedding photos.. Not that I didn't want to.. just that we wanted to save some money.. So until last weekend, our plans were to go ala-carte.. look for the gowns, suits, car decorations, hand-bouquet, etc separately.
Suprise suprise.. it could actually cost a lot more.. doing ala-carte.. I mean, when you get to choose.. of course you would want to have the best of everything..
Taking a package from a bridal shop could save you a lot more.. if you know where to look, that is..
Our main concern was to look for a shop that takes quality photos and provides nice gowns at a reasonable price.. we are after all on a tight budget..
So on sunday, we found the bridal shop that meets to our requirements.. I chose my gowns for the photoshoot, and yesterday, we had our photoshoot and chose the photos! We'll be getting the montage for the album 10 days later.. now.. who says you have to get the package 6 months beforehand? LOL.. one word of advice though.. it's stressful.. don't follow our footsteps..
So, Step 3.. take your pre-wedding pictures, get your wedding and evening gown, confirm on your make up artist, photographer, videographer is partially done..
Updates soon!
Wedding Preparation Step 2...
Step 2 is to print the wedding invites and it's nearly done and most of you will be getting the invitation by next week..
The invitation is created by Hubby from scratch.. and we're really proud of it. We've send it out for printing (Hubby's friend Heng is doing it, and he's really impressive.. contact me should you need his service!). Aaron made me promise not to post out any pictures of the card until all of you have received the invitation, but I can't resist it... so, here's a little glimpse of it.. I took it with our wedding rings.
We set out with the intention to make something that is different from all other invitations. Something that is chic and fun yet still oriental and chinois. I think we did it, well, you guys can judge it for yourselves soon.
Oh well... on to Step 3.. I've about a month left and there's still ton of stuff for me to do.. wish me luck people! Lol!
