Our Wedding Day Part I

I know if I don't get around to writing about P. and my wedding, I will soon forget some of the details, so here is my attempt at starting:

Picking up the bride & Tea ceremony...

If you've ever been married you probably remember the not sleeping enough and having to wake up early routine but I must say I did manage to get 6hrs of sleep the night before, so it's really not too bad. According to P., he only had 3 hrs of sleep the night before.



Anyway, my make-up artist/hair stylist as well as our photographer arrived promptly at home...what a relief! The make up and hair took tremendously long...what was estimated to be 2 hrs took 2.5. In fact, I didn't get dressed and ready until after the groom and party had arrived AND they were 35 minutes late already! I know they weren't late on purpose but the car decoration was having a fit as the car moved. It was a miracle that we somehow arrived at the chapel on time later with our tight games and tea ceremony schedule.

I didn't get to watch the games until afterwards on video but I heard lots of laughter and complaints. These were good indications that my sisters did a great job preparing the picking up mini mahjong in ice, jello sock eating, and singing games. Many thanks to them...and of course thanks to my MOH A. for hinting at the "fixed amount" of the red pocket to speed up the whole process...haha.

The tea ceremonies at both my home and our new home went smoothly and speedily...considering we were on a tight schedule, we faired pretty well managing to squeeze in many photo opportunities, receiving lots of lai see and jewelery. Well, and receiving lots of new dents and scratches at our new home with so many people around...but let's save that story for another time.

So off to get officially married we shall!
