Chinese Wedding 11.06.2011

Our chinese wedding was way more chaotic. it started from the morning itself!

imagine running to the wedding car to get my wife only to remember that i have forgot to bring the fruit basket, only to…

SEE MY MOTHER PEELING AND CUTTING THE FRUITS IN THE KITCHEN!!!

my mother knows nuts about all these tradition thing. we did not hire any ‘dai kam jie’ as well though…

but that doesn’t mean that she can cut the fruits as the fruit basket was obviously nicely decorated.

anyway, i just bring what was left in the basket. which was half of the amount. haiz…

you have no idea how much worried i am on that day

anyway, lets forget about the headache part (at the moment) and proceed to the next part.

while the bride’s side are concocting something mischievous…

there i am. oblivious to what will happen next…

the evil females that deter me to get my bride

while i have my own small army of ‘heng tais’.

i’m going skip the playing part as it is mostly dancing, posing, skipping, Q&A session and eating. but i have to give kudos on the food they prepared. it’s good yo! the photo above don’t lie, right? haha!

suffice to say, after all the hard work, i have managed to get the ‘prize’.

after all the tea-serving ceremony, it’s time to get my bride home!

are we there yet?

oh yes, we have!

again, after all the tea serving ceremony at my side. it is time for cam-whoring. again, thanks to my ‘heng tai’ for their help. especially one of them who have to catch a flight immediately after helping me.

what’s next? the next part will the most headache part…

yes… the chinese wedding part…

ever wondered why chinese weddings dinners will always be delayed? it is mostly due to the problems in the seating arrangements…

ours are made worse with mothers who screw up our arrangements which we planned for a months.

mothers knows best. or so they think… haiz..

ok. it’s over anyway, let’s move to happier moments!

pouring the champagne…

toasting to the guest! and oh, the emcee’s english was funny. not that she did it intentionally. just that her english was so bad it was funny! hahaha!

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm senggggggggggggggg!

oh, wait, the glass is empty! haha!

cut the cr… oh! i mean cut the cake!

having a good laugh on the video presentation!

more booze session! not that i’m a good drinker though.

all in all, it was a happy moment although there were hiccups here and there.

it doesn’t end there though. for there is still a long way to go!

Our Pre-wedding shots…

Wow!! It’s been so long since I last blog anything here.. hmm.. I think I’m going to blame it on the wedding preparations. Hehe…

Let’s start with the 1^st thing we spend for our wedding (omit the apartment). Of course the one thing that all ladies would not want to miss out – The Pre-Wedding Shots!!!! Believe it or not, we made the booking almost 1 year before our wedding date because I’m afraid that time will not be enough. We did not really walk-in to every bridal shop to ask on the price as we already had in mind which bridal house we wanted to choose. Yeah!! REDBLISS BRIDAL was the one we had in mind all the while. It is located in SS2, Petaling Jaya. Although the package they offered us is a bit pricier than the other bridal shops as expected, but we still took the offer crossing our fingers hoping that their quality will be better than the others. And also, I felt that their choices of gowns are quite a lot as I had hard times choosing too. Their staffs are also good at recommending which suits me well.

It was a very very tiring photo shooting day. Too tired till we did not really had any food until when all is done around 5pm. The whole day photo shoot took use from 6.30am till 5pm. Almost a 12 hours shoot.. My contact lenses were drying up in my eyes. And I was struggling to get off those fake manicured nails once I reach home before I could put my fingers into the eyes to take off the contact lenses. Come to think of it, is it worth to be tortured like that for a pre-wedding photo album?? LOL!!!

I guess my answer will be: DAMN WORTH IT!!! As I was absolutely satisfied with both the make-up artist & the photographer’s skill & technic!! Haha.. Why?? It’s because they can really turn an ugly duckling to become swan in the end result.

During choosing the picture session, it was hard for us to choose 40 poses out of the approximately 200poses. We were really trying our best to scarify pictures so that we can get the best 40 poses. As I said, it was a very very difficult decision to make. Haha.. So in the end, we gave in. We had to pay extra to ‘buy’ more pictures. Which is not much pics actually, only extra 12 pictures and that cost us few more hundreds. Mind you, this happens to almost every couples.. haha.. You will sure pay more to add in more pictures into your album. But again, we still think it was worth the money as we were very satisfied with the pictures.

Below are some of the pics:

I like this pic as both of us have a very nice smile. Note: Hubby had difficult time smiling in front of the camera. Haha.

We got a lot of compliments on this shot. :P

This gown looked plain as it does not have much detail on it. But it came out well in the photos.

I chose to wear a ‘kua’- instead of choosing another dinner gown as a woman can only wear this during her wedding.

I love all the outdoor pictures.

The most important thing is still on how the photographer captures the pic on its best angle.

My hubby look so ‘yeng’ in this shot!

OH! After a so tiring day, he still managed to carry me for this shot! LOL

Does it look like I’m going to ‘eat’ him up? :p

Nice effect with the long veil that I was wearing.

Did the wind really blown the veil up?? Hehe…

Hubby was actually all soaking wet in this shot. Yet, the pic came out well. Of course with the help of some touch up in the computer. Hehe.

Loved this gown very much!

BY the way, in case you were wondering, the outdoor location was at FRIM, Kepong. We also did some shooting at the streams. But we did not really like the outcome (both of us not wearing heels & shoes). We felt it did not look like wedding shots. So we did not really choose any pic from that session.

And so, that was the final result for paying a handful amount for the Pre-wedding photo shoots at REDBLISS Bridal.

In case you were wondering, my make-up artist was Ai Ling & the photographer was Kelvin.

So, now do you belief that make-up can really make an ugly duckling to turn into a Swan? LOL!!
