A wedding to Remember

Derek & Junia's Wedding

It was fun wedding, as usual i shall pen it down in sequence so I dont forget.

8am : Jiemei's Joy
Went to her place at East Coast, Y and D were making up for her. Poor dear had probs with her contact lenses. After she was done she looked as radiant and gorgeous as any bride would be.

Her mom cooked breakfast, tang hoon was yummy. Her brothers, John and James looked super handsome.

835: Groom is Late!
As punishment, he was made to do pushups, its not as though his brothers were very helpful..... had to name the jiemeis and the relationships etc. The best part was James had to help him out some. So cute. Came in, made to drink the standard xuan tian ku la. He puked in a flowerpot and dirtied his tie. Mommy in law came to the rescue to wash and iron out his tie. Before he could enter the room, the was made to comeup with and sign 10 commandments. Still wanting more, our bride made him sing for her before he could enter. it was funny!

930am: To church we go!
Had some last minute packup then went to the church of St Peter and Paul. Few people, like about 20-30px,it was just a service so its short. Had to sing in the "choir" which was made up of 5 of us, ellie, jeff, john, kb and me. The organist was young and did his best to play the tunes ( it was very last minute but he dod alright). After service by Father Thomas, we had pictures taken.

11am: An accomplice to phototaking
She took photos in the convertible outside the firestation area. i drove by with the photographer etc.... fun....

12pm: Lunch with KB at Prego
It was a great lunch, food is great! had the italian degustation for $45 + pizza. Went shopping, lotsa sales but nothing affordable which is nice.

330pm: went home to get my battery which i forgot with KB in tow.

430pm: reached fort canning to prepare reception. everything started after that. they had a tea ceremony and solemnisation, they sang to each other, didnt quite see what happened as I was registering the guests.

730pm: dinner started some cocktail appetiser, soup dinner and dessert with songs, dances and speeches inserted inbetween. I gave a speech. yikes! took photos etc.....

11pm: Surprised her at her Fullerton suite hotel eith her friends. Loved the suite! 2 storey with a fantastic balcony, pity not much of a view.loved the secluded bedroom onthe 2nd floor.

1am: Unwind at the Courtyard with drinks from the PostBar with KB till 2am. It was yummy. Alvin the photog came down to join us. Yen and Derek came by for a while.

Postmortem: Met some of my old sec/tjc friends, yiwen called from france/london,had some problems with the seating, the weather was absolutely perfect!, made friends with the photographer, somehow liked Grace, James's Girlfriend very much, loved the wine, had fun, who's getting married next?!! KB? BER?
