Our Big Day (Wedding Banquet)

We had our wedding banquet at Qian Xi, Farrer Park. We did so for the good food (the portions are really good too!) and so that we would not run the risk of going into debts unlike if we were to hold our wedding banquet in a grand hotel ballroom.

Even though the place was simpler than what one would get in a dreamy hotel ballroom, we were blessed to be able to doll up the place with loads and loads of beautiful balloons from One Party Store. Do check out more about the decorations we had here. 

After we had settled down at Hotel Rendevous, we got our much needed rest and I had my makeup and hair done by the bridal studio's MUA while Vivian did an awesome job dolling up my mum and sister.

Mummy was gorgeous. 

So were my sisters! They were awesome help for our big day too.

The place was done up by One Party Store and that seriously took one whole worry off my mind especially since many small stuff screwed up on the wedding day.

Our Big Day (Holy Matrimony)

The most significant part of our big day was the Holy Matrimony. Coming from City Harvest, we didn't have many venue options. Of course, I did want my wedding to be in a beautiful setting as opposed to a hall/room. After all, it's just a one time affair. We were very blessed to be able to rent Charis Methodist Church for our big day. It's just everything I wanted in a package. Dreamy and all... it was like a dream come true. 

After our gatecrashing in the morning, we rushed to the hubby's place and then to church. We were blessed to have such a lovely venue to share our precious moment with our guests. 

We had a lovely candy bar filled with goodies for our guests. Our theme was Carnival... but me being me, I was once again all over the place so we ended up having a little of what I like all about weddings >.<

Our brothers even made a box game for our guests to have a try at home many kids we would have!

Our Big Day (Gatecrashing)

I know this post is way overdue. We got married in January on the 11th but I've only managed to find the time to write this post now. It's been an amazing 3 months so far. I can't deny that there have been ups and downs.. but I'm glad I've found my better half in Mr Chu. 

In any case, we had so much to do rushing for the big day. We had about 14 months to plan for it.. and having decided to 'crash' all 3 'events' (fetch the bride, church wedding and wedding banquet) in one day had us mad busy. But we were blessed too.

We had the blessings and love from our friends and loved ones who helped us selflessly, making our big day a success even though there were many hiccups, 2 of which still has me mad till this very day. In any case, let me share with you the delights of our big day! 

As my parents' place was really messy, I didn't wanna be fetched from home. Thankfully, Yang and Reuben allowed us to 'borrow' their beautiful home for our big day! I was to spend the night before at yang's but so many things cropped up and screwed up the night before that I just slept at the hubby's and headed to her place in the morning. Before I had my makeup done, my parents and billy's parents did the ‘上头' for us... we had our hair combed and words of blessings were uttered by our parents. After which, Helen, my MUA, got to yang's place to have my makeup done.

My sisters arrived early too to set up the place and prepare goodies for the guys.

Evil plans ahead..

I really pity my groomsmen! My intention was for each element to be served individually in the most humane way possible.. but it all got 'jumbled' up. By the way, in our local context, it's often so that the men (groom + groomsmen) has to be subjected to some form of torture, battle the 'sour, sweet, bitter and spicy' test... before the sisters would allow them to fetch the bride. 

My gown (:

I really loved the roses to my wedding gown.
