A Wedding

My little sister is getting married!!!

We haven't had a wedding in the family for sometime, so it's an exiting event for all. 23rd January 2010 is THE day. After months of pouring over wedding dresses, invitation cards, flowers etc etc, the day finally arrived.

We flew back from HK to attend the wedding. As my daughters are both flower girls, I felt that since I am the mother of the flower girls, I'd better look my best. For this, I lost 10 pounds, got a new hair style and a couple of glamorous dresses. This turned out to be worth every penny spent!

Here are some of the photos of the day.
Part 1: The groom to "pick-up" the bride

Getting ready with a cup of cha

Done!

While the bride gets ready......
the groom (Kelvin) makes his way to our home

to get her....but we wouldn't let him get to her so easily



He's here....but not allowed to get out of the car.....
.....coz his door "man" is not ready


Clive, the door man, getting ready

Pull Clivey, pull!

1 down, many more to go

The bridesmaids have some challenges for the groom

which represents the experiences of life - 甜酸苦辣

And the groom turns to his support team

Last challenge.....which key???

Finally, the groom gets to the bride!

Tasha is puzzled by all these kissing

I guess the little ones too

Mission completed

Part 2: Tea ceremony

Starts with mum and dad

We are some where in the middle after the uncles and aunties

And it ends with the little ones

After the exchanges of angpows, jewelry, etc Kelvin is officially one of us! The tea ceremony is followed by lots of family photos before we sent Wei off to her in-laws.

See how eager we are to send her off? Hahahaa

A teary farewell (for now)

Part 3: To the groom's house

Here comes the happy couple

As with tradition, having a virgin boy jump on

the marital bedwill bring along a baby boy.....

The bride change into her qua for another tea ceremony

To end the day, the bride returns to her parents home for a "visit"

(see? She is back again in no time!)

Part 4: Wedding banquet

Getting ready for the grand entrance

The toast

This is our family until the next wedding!
