dimanche, juin 03, 2007 Saturday: Huifen and Mervin's Wedding I was jiemei to Huifen at her wedding yesterday - and boy, was it a huge undertaking! I really never realised how much energy and time goes into getting married. And how many people it takes to get married! No wonder my mom told me to just elope if I do decide to get married!.jpg) I reached her place at about 715am in the morning - and let me tell you, taking a bus and an MRT in a satin gown and a clutch bag at 6am in the morning will incite stares and raised eyebrows, although I have to say that it's quite fun to see sleepy-eyed commuters do a double-take that early in the morning.Her photographers were pretty good - they took the essential shots, and her parents were very excited, like in this shot of them putting the veil over Huifen. They did it three times, once in slow motion so the photographers could capture them properly. .jpg) One of the tekans was for Mervin to sing Adam Sandler's "I Wanna Grow Old With You" to Huifen, and so here I am dutifully tuning the awfully out of tune guitar for him to use!.jpg) At about 830, the groom and the brothers came....jpg) ... and the session started. This is Mervin being kissed by his brothers, as well-wishes. The suan-tian-ku-la session only managed to make it to the suan-tian, because Huifen's family said the marriage must be tian-tian-mi-mi only, cannot have ku and la. So the sisters were thwarted! ( They had prepared wasabe ice-cream.)Huifen's family was completely unhelpful during the session. Only her mother was willing to play along - her father, grandma and grandpa were all so soft-hearted and wanted to let Mervin in early. In the end, there was a betrayer in the house - her brother opened the window in another room, and let him climb into the house! .jpg) Here is a very smug Mervin, sweating like a pig but extremely pleased with himself, after like a thief, he stole into the house to carry Huifen off. But there was still the matter of the door to the room....jpg) ... so here he is, serenading Huifen. She failed the first attempt, so he had to do it again!.jpg) Arriving at their new house in Seng Kang (accessible by 163! Woo hoo!).jpg) Hamming it up for the cameras back at her parents place for the tea ceremony.jpg) I told her to pose like for a jewellery commercial toshow off the inherited gold that her parents gave her. .jpg) Finally made it to the altar! :)Libellés : personal [Saturday: Huifen and Mervin's Wedding] |
