婚禮的點點滴滴 - Our DIYs

There were a bunch stuff that we made or put together. Some of them that I am more proud of:

Our wedding cake. Dummy cake inside, everything else in fondant.
我們的結婚蛋糕. 蛋糕是假的. 佈置是用糖果軟餡做的.

Centerpieces made of Ferro Rocher. 金莎朱古力佈置.Kids pack. (We added a lot more stuff afterwards.)
給我們年幼的賓客

Welcome Sign. 歡迎指示牌.

(It's an ugly sign. If I knew ppl would take so many photos of it...)

婚禮的點點滴滴 - Preparation篇

I had the privilege to wake up at 10:30am on the wedding day to prepare for it (I never understand how other brides manage to wake up at 5am to start their day and still look so awake and pretty at the end).

We purposely planned it so all of us were to get ready at Arcadian Court. For the first hour before my hair lady arrived, I was waiting alone in the bridal suite, playing on my DS. (I passed a few more levels!) That hour went by slowly and I didn't quite feel "bride"ish. Then suddenly, my hair and make up crew came, and as the transformation begins, time goes by much quicker. Alisa and Frances are like magicians! And with Vivian coming with all the bouquets and flowers, and helpers arriving, we were all ready to go!

婚禮的點點滴滴 - Ceremony 篇

We hosted our ceremony at Arcadian Court as well as the reception. The crew at Arcadian court has done a spectacular job at setting up the place. Elizabeth, the coordinator there was the most welcoming person who I have ever worked with. Our decorator, Sherisse (www.theweddingdecorators.ca), was great too. Both of them worked together, leaving us with absolutely no-worry, transforming a venue that was already lovely, to an even more elegant and grand hall. They are efficient and very professional. I was surprised to see how nicely everything was put together.

婚禮的點點滴滴 - 敬茶Tea Ceremony篇

On our wedding day, we did the tea ceremony. It is a Chinese Tradition to express thanks to the relatives on the wedding day. We had to kneel in front of our parents (and elders) and serve them tea to say "thank you" for bringing us up. We got red pockets as good luck and new gold jeweleries in return. We also gave tea to younger cousins and brother, but we could stand up for that. (Thanks June for being our "dai kum" - the person to help hand the tea and teacups and say special greetings.)
