My Solitaire Wedding

Time really flies for 2 weeks. Before i know it. I'm due to fly off for Honeymoon. Here's a teaser to our wonderful wedding album. Till i return then.

Its been 8 days after my wedding. Everything still seemed so surreal. The wedding ran smoothly and perfectly. And i felt like a superstar with at least 5 cameras shooting me at any one time excluding the videographer. :) Nearly had a heart attack when the make up artist was late. Agreed time was 6.50 am and earlier. As my mum insisted that i must be out of the house before 9 am. The PGs and VG had all arrived and still no sight of the MUA. *Hopping mad*. Fortunately, the gate crashing is short and sweet. (Send my love to my dear bridemaids) The bestmen never knew the doors ain't locked since the beginning. Funny how gentlemanly they all were. The other minor set backs on the actual day was the bride suffering from lack of sleep. So my efforts of sleeping early for the week went down the drain. And i still ended up with puffy eyes. This cannot be helped as i seriously couldn't sleep the night before the wedding. Sigh! And of course my clasp behind my gown had to give way...

I love rosettes and lace. Essentially all things pretty and handmade. The materials - 3 yards of blue lace (for 4 lace corsages) - half yard of rosettes - 8 pcs of diamante - 4 pcs of pearls - 4 pcs of swaroski crystalserials How to make the rosette lace corsage: Cut the required lace in even length. Sew the diamante to the rosette. Sew the rosette to the lace. Sew the embellishments on the lace to adorn. The completed lace corsage The side with embellishments The perfect ribbon

I have always wanted to have a convertible for a wedding car. More specifically a volkswagon cabriolet in baby blue or white. However, it has gained popularity since the time I started planning for a wedding. Now this little car is getting as hot as my wedding date. I have to forgo it. In search for another car (its a personal preference not to get a Mercedes E200), I emailed several car rental company. Some does purely wedding car. For some, they do rental on a regular basis coupled with 2nd hand car sales. Some of their replies in "fine print" makes me quite horrified. The terms specified includes: - Limited trips and timing restriction "Limited from 7am to 5pm usage,up to a max. of 5trips. Any extension before or thereafter chargeable at $30 per hour per car and subjected to availability at point of request." - no assurance on delivery of service "reserves the right to cancel the booking with a minimum of 1 months notice, in which case deposit w...

I've done alot of samplers. But in the end. This is what i've eventually used on the card. I know how this is going to sound. But it essentially is the initial to our surnames. And it should be read as M.S. I love how the two letters entwine. This is when two becomes one.

My Guo Da Li (GDL) is finally over after all the preparation. I started since May and did not purchase any GDL during the lunar 7th month. I'm proud to say. I purchased most of the stuff all by myself. SO helped by carrying the stuff and accompanying me. My mum ordered the cakes, traditional cakes and biscuits. It was a very long day. My SO woke up at 6 am in the morning. And my mum picked him up with all 40 plus boxes of cakes and delivered it to my place. So i get to sleep in till 7.30 am. We started delivering the cakes to relatives and my mum's friends soon after. The day ended at 11pm. My cakes are the traditional type. For the Bride - 12 oranges - 12 cans of pig trotters - 2 bottles of Hennesy VSOP - 4 point gold - Dowry "Pin Jin" - 4 ang pows (representing 2 pairs of dragon and phoenix candles) - 38 boxes of Cakes - 8 Traditional pea-cake - 1 Candied peanut stripes (big) - 1 Seasame peanut stripes (big) - 2 Candied peanut stripes - 2 Se...

The perfect reason for a dream wedding: " All the jazz, for the sweet lass, who deserves nothing less."

This little gift came in perfect time. I will put it in use for our honeymoon in few weeks time.
