Finally its over! Ya, got married off on Saturday and had our wedding dinner last nite. Phew... finally can take a break now...
Woke up late as usual then took a cab to return the gowns and suits then off to the bank to deposit the money. Had lunch outside and shopped abit b4 taking a bus to Web's house as he needs to pack his working clothes. He has to go back to work tomorrow but I still got one more day. Abit dreading to go back especially after so many days of leave but bo bian, time flew too fast.
Saturday (Wedding day)
Woke up ard 6am, bathed and got ready in pyjamas to wait for the MUA to arrive at 7.30am. The photographer came ard 7.10am+ which was quite early so not much time to entertain him.
Started make up ard 7.30am+ and was still feeling quite stone, probably coz its too early. Din really sleep quite alot the nite b4 although was very tired. Had met up with Xris in the evening for pedicure and manicure then dinner after the an chuang in the afternoon and collection of our gowns and suits. Was rushing around and already felt quite sleepy and tired when I met Xris. Was running out of time earlier and luckily bro helped me drove my gowns home and me to Dhoby Ghaut. Web had took a cab home himself.
Anyway by the time we finished make up, the groom was almost due to arrive and the excited sisters and helpers quickly got to their respective locations and responsibilities. They were really a great bunch of helpers and I cun imagine what to do without them! Some fun and games followed and by the time the groom came to me with the bridal hand bouquet, I was feeling quite warm and perspiring as the room was quite warm, even with the fan blowing.
It was then to Web's parents place for tea ceremony, photoshoot at Punggol Park, back to our new house and finally ended with tea ceremony at my parents' place. When we finally got back to our new house, rested a while after bathing and set off again to MIL's (mother-in-law) house for dinner. The rest of the evening was busy for me as I need to amend the 1st montage and get to work with the 2nd one (actual day pictures - which Xris and sis took for me). Worked until ard 2am then finally went to bed feeling real tired.
Sunday (wedding banquet)
Woke up ard 10am+, went out for lunch at Rivervale Plaza then back to the house to round up songs for the background music during the wedding banquet. By the time I finished and have to get ready for Web's friend to pick us up to the restaurant, I was feeling tired and giddy. Took a short nap in the car while they were chatting away and luckily felt so much better after that.
Make up then started ard 5pm+ at the restaurant while the other helpers slowly arrive and helped in seeing through the preparations. This time round I wasn't feeling so stone and the make up also brightened me up abit. Asked for a more refreshing style and left it to the MUA. Finally finished make up at 7pm+ and most guests have arrived, to our amaze. Even though we put 6.30pm, we still anticipate late comers coz I think its already a Singaporean way of life - never early for a wedding banquet.
We managed to start the banquet at 8pm with the 1st march in and then start of the dinner. In no time, its time to change into my evening gown for the 2nd march in and everything else went smoothly and on time. Although when we went around for table pictures, took us quite fast too as not much tables proposed toasting. We only managed to toast with Web's collegus, my cousins and siblings table and all my colleagues and each toasting got louder and louder, very fun.
The dinner finally ended without rush and I was glad its finally over and very happy that most of my colleagues and friends could make it. Too bad I dun have much chance to go around talking to them coz have to maintain my image in front of Web's family and relatives... hahaha...
The same friend that drove us there, gave us a lift home and to Xris and Yoki as well as he stays nearby to them. We then spent the remaining of the nite drinking some red wine and counting ang bao money.
