SO ARE YOU GIRLS READY TO WELCOME THE FIRST APRIL MRS OR NOT????? keke
everything went fantastic!!! a few cock ups but nothing major. everything from the morning all the way to the dinner was great. my dad mentioned that the bridal car, and all the following cars have to honk all the way in (into the car park) when reaching the destination. it was so happening! some people heard the honking and waved at us. i really enjoyed it. felt like the queen of england waving from my carriage haha
it rained in the afternoon up till about 5pm. we hung chillis at the jetty and they looked so cute. thanks jean for praying for no rain too - you're such a sweetie!!
when my dad walked me down the aisle, i felt like i was in a movie setting. all my friends and family on both sides, smiling and waving. then during the solemnisation the microphone was damn lousy. the best part was the kiss of course. we practiced for that moment (come on, who didn't?) but that kiss was so perfect. until the JP said 'ok ok that's enough!'
then as we walked back down the aisle, people took the chance to throw rice on us. we had so much rice in our hair!
at the dinner at first it was like 'walau so boring, how come my own wedding also so boring'. then i very sad. then after we came back (after change of clothes), they told us the barrel of beer had finished. at 3rd course!!!
then when we went photo-taking at each table, my mother said 'eh every table must yamseng leh'. i was like 'walau.... really ah?' but i'm very glad we did because THAT was when the fun started. the dinner was so noisy and rowdy and majority of people were very sporting. i never screamed so much in my life. we did 3 yamsengs at almost all the tables.
and then my colleagues gave me a damn potent drink (yes i'm allergic but they didn't care! it had really gross stuff like chillis and soy sauce!) that knocked me out after. i was wobbly all night after. i was saying bye and thanks to guests while leaning against the wall haha.
and the new husband spent all night taking care of his drunk bride. needless to say, there was no err activity that night. so we didn't utilise the HAPPENING CEILING MIRRORS.

some advice you girls might find useful:
- don't sweat the small stuff. beer runs out, wine runs out, don't frown about it la. just top up la. we used 2 barrels of beer and 32 bottles of wine for 22 tables of people
- get a good coordinator you can trust and ensure she can make decisions on your behalf. decisions that you yourself would have made
- get sporting xiong-dis and jie-meis. one XD was damn happening. we had a loudhailer so when we went back to ghim moh, he used it and shouted all the way. our neighbours thought what happened haha.
- get XDs that will help out with the drinking. bluebunny didn't have to drink much
- prioritise - if people want to make you drink alot during the dinner, and you have many tables you've not been to, tell them to stay till you finish what you're obligated to do. they'll understand. and chances are, they won't stay and you'd have one less horrible drink to down
- send your guests off. don't let them go off without saying goodbye. they made the effort to come to your wedding, didn't they?
have more but will share when i think of them. now let me recover from my hangover....
