G and I tied the knot exactly one week ago! It was a beautiful wedding, a real dream come true for the both of us.
We're so thankful everything went smoothly and perfectly.
Morning gatecrash was sooo much fun. The girls had a good time putting the fellowship of groom and groomsmen to the test! And because of the amazing invention of FaceTime, I enjoyed watching the entire process in the comfort of the room! And of course, Gerald prevailed and unveiled me with a kiss =D We had some yummy Tangyuan together!
Tea ceremony at home was funny. We were a little lost but we made it through! And we got better at Gerald's place! Before that, it was fun watching Joel jump on our bed with immense enthusiasm haha. Maybe he knew the symbolism behind the act and wanted to bless us with many kids ^_^
After we reached the hotel, everything became so surreal and happened so quickly. Wei Wei brought us to our wonderful suite and we were greeted with my bridesmaids all getting ready! Whilst Gerald was at the banquet briefing, I was blessed with some time to touch up my make up and rehearse my vows! It felt
comforting to have Ame and Sophie with me in the room.
And it was time for our Solemnisation ceremony in the Hopea room. It was time to walk down the aisle and get married to my best friend. I feel so lucky to have had our bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down the aisle before us. So nice to have our nephews and niece walk in before our grand entrance. And so heartwarming to have my dad walk me to Gerald and tell him to take good care of me. The atmosphere was perfect, with beautiful Pom poms as our backdrop and a saxophone playing A thousand years for our march in music. Our most important friends and relatives were there to witness our vows and joy. It was a moment to remember always.
And after the tea ceremony, our wedding lunch officially started =) G and I made our first entrance as husband and wife to the Wedding song by Kenny G. And that was before Mike made a wonderful introduction of our wedding with the Shire music in the background. It was so fitting for our enchanted forest theme! And everyone was so impressed with our personalized DIY video which G painstakingly made. All his efforts were worth it!
And our second march in performance was a blast! Our friends were so sporting and we remembered our dance moves!
The best bit were the speeches by Bean,
Joy and Ame. Bean was so funny with his, Joy had to make me cry haha and Ame's was so heartfelt. We were truly truly touched by our friends.
And I was so moved when my baby sang our song 'Faraway' to me as a surprise. Almost made me cry!
It was a beautiful, beautiful day.
