A Happy Day

07.07.07 was an auspicious day.

It was also the wedding day of our 叔叔 Jeffrey and auntie Jacqueline.

This is a photo blog of their big day, peppered with some of mine and my mei-mei's candid shots.

************

The day began bright and early for all of us.
Traditionally, a chinese customary wedding will have a tea ceremony which takes place in the day and a wedding banquet at night.

Let's have some breakfast before the day activities begin..

Waiting.. waiting.. for the bride and groom to arrive... And more food...

At last! The fabulous couple!

Me serving tea to the couple... Got ang-bao to collect one you know. Heheh.

A family protrait.

PS: This picture and some of the (nicer) pictures following were taken by 叔叔's friend (not mummy).

After the day activities, we had a quick afternoon nap. Then it was off to Rasa Sentosa Resort for the wedding banquet.

姑姑 helping mei-mei get ready.

"Wow... see my high heels shoes!"

"Mei-mei... Come and see what's inside..."

"I also want!"

"Mummy says children cannot wear jewellery ok.. Keep them away quickly."

All ready to be the flower girls.

With other flower girls - Germaine and Gywneth jie-jies (both in black).
Mei-mei was throwing 'I don't want to take pictures' tantrums at this moment.

Long wait for the bride and groom... legs tired liao.. Sit on the floor to rest. I guess we waited more than 1 hour for the march-in to start.. Mummy thought it was a minor miracle that both of us behaved fairly well.

Still waiting for bride and groom, with the sword party.

The Wedding March with Eva mei-mei leading the pack... Err.. wait wait wait.. not really.. The sword people march in first.
Mei-mei did not scatter a single petal from her basket. Hahaha.. She was overwhelmed by the crowd, the sword party and the poppers.

A pretty picture.

Our Family :)... This is 1 of the very few pictures taken of 4 of us that night. It was towards the end of the night. Around 12-midnight liao.. And you can see all of us were tired. Especially mei-mei.

Finale! Group photo with cousins.

Here's wishing 叔叔 and 婶婶 a blessed and blissful marriage!
May we have a little cousin to join us soon :).
