The day we have been counting down to for the last one year plus....finally arrived. Though we planned so much in advance, there were endless tasks to do...i was arranging the guests lists right up till 11pm the night before, till Daddy had to chase me to go to bed....
I slept well, though for barely 5 hours plus...got up to prepare...nervous...didn't know what to expect...didn't even have appetite to finish my favourite muffin for breakfast...
Picture taken when my parents had to do the traditional - putting the veil down for me. Something that i see in everyone's wedding album....but still, a very very sweet and memorable picture for me. But we kind of took it in a rush, becos my hubby was downstairs horning away of his arrival downstairs...
The Groom and his bros - all ready ~ TO BE TEKANed!
And so he sang and dance, as my jiemeis were sabo-ing him ....he got it easy becos 1) he happened to select the "sweet" drink out of the "suan, tian, ku, la" and 2) my mums and aunties were instructing my jiemeis to let him and the guys in becos it was too hot for their comfort outside the house!!!
The joy i had when he was my room that morning....to him - it was "FINALLY! ~ the ordeal was over!" This is one of those candid shots where my photographer captured it really well - all natural :)
Me with my jiemeis before leaving the house.
My dearest family - who all worked so hard to plan the event with me, to decorate and clean the house for me....
Off we went to Clarke Quay for day photoshoot.... one of my favourite shots :)
As part of the Koh family :)
And at our matrimonial home ... the Groom fulfilled my dream to carry me WITH MY HEAVY GOWN onto our bed :)
The KUA which i am very proud of ~ took a lot of effort to source for it as the piece packaged at the bridal shop and most other outlets were too short for me. So glad to find this piece, which is brand new and at a reasonably good price....and the hello kitties which i kept for many years came in handy on the bridal car as well :)
The Groom presented the roasted pig to my dad - it supposedly came at a very very high price~~
Together with my beloved grandparents ....
My solemnisation table with the precious moments wedding figurine, candles with gold ribbons, pink flower petals, personalised vow cards etc etc....all thought of and planned......so glad everything was just like what i dreamt of :) ~ Its the pink theme at the solemnisation room - VIP Lounge B at Stamford Ballroom, Swissotel the Stamford...
Getting ready to march in with Daddy and the 2 pairs of flowergals / pageboys....aren't they all so cute? :)
Though it is a pity that i didn't have a church wedding, it was still a dream come true with Daddy marching me in...this is really a special moment for me...with "Canon in D"
And so we said our vows and got officially married...despite forgetting our vows and making a fool of ourselves in front of everyone present!
And need i say...our ballroom decor that night was awesome!
And even the ice carving at the cocktail reception - it had huge strawberries and grapes that were well-liked by the guests....
Not forgetting my cute ang pao box ~~~ if you haven't noticed by now...the theme at the Stamford Ballroom dinner is RED and GOLD.
At cocktail reception .... groom was too busy with logistics...and i had the opportunity to take pics with many gd frens....just one here with Xan and Jenevieve...
First March in with the song "All my life" by KC and Jojo
2nd March in with the song "Fallen" by Lauren Wood:
The surpise performance by hubby ....singing ... "I wanna grow old with you" by Adam Sandler ....*Heart Melt Melt*
End of the dinner with some of my very ONZ maternal cousins, uncles and aunties...who stayed till the end for a group pic....
Picture with all the bros and jiemeis at the end of the day....where everyone is relaxed and warmed up....thank you all for making the day special for us....
And endless people to thank.....especially to my parents, my (real) sisters and James for all the effort to make the day so memorable and without hiccups.....to Jason Ong and Ang for that awesome performance of Erhu and Guitar and to Donny and Olivia for being such dymanic emcees!!! I really can't thank all of you enough!
My wedding is really a dream come true! :)
