Wedding Celebrations - Prelude

Preparations must all be completed and finalized a day before the actual day!

Went to buy more red wine for the dinner, though the hotel has provided us with more than enough bottles of wine.

The wedding frame that dear Van 大嫂 did for my wedding! So sweet of her and it follows the exact embossing that we have on our wedding bands.

Rainbow hearts & eggs as part of gate-crashing! The sisters did such a lovely job! Love them to max!!

Lastly, our trusty Jet as our wedding car - even more memorable as we bought this car together :) Leecher tied all the decorations himself and he was uber proud of it!

Jet, our trusty drive

Work trip to BKK and heading home this evening. Such a coincidence that Bro-in-Law was here as well and we even stayed in the same hotel! The end of the month and thinking back, it has been almost 1 yr since we bought Jet. When Leecher first harboured the thought of owning car, I was very much against it, for that meant additional expenses every month. After calculating and working things out, I finally gave in to his reasoning. Then, it was extensive research on Leecher's part (I've nv seen him so focused before in researching!). Finally, he shortlisted the car and went for test drive and within weeks, he decided on the car.

Signing our lives away for X years ....

We were able to collect the car after 3 weeks of waiting! And it turned out that the car delivery day was an auspicious day for us when I flipped the fengshui book by chance.

On the way to the showroom - guess we were all pretty excited!

Waiting for our turn & I could already see the car from outside the delivery room :)

Leecher's new baby, Jetta, which was the old version, as VW has revamped this car model after the last batch.

Leecher conducting thorough checks on his huge purchase & paying attention to the walk-through demo of Jet.

Proud owners of our new purchase :)

Wedding Gown Selection

As the big day draws nearer, we scheduled another trip to SG Bridal house to select the gowns & suits :)

Leecher had it easy, as he only need to try on the different types of suits.

I spent almost 3 hours trying out 4 sets of gowns.

Brides-to-be have a special instinct towards the right gown, your heart will automatically react to it once you have put on the gown - so keep on choosing till you feel it! After I shortlisted the above gowns, I had a strange feeling that those were not the right ones - so I called Ivy and asked if I could re-choose all the gowns & she agreed (thumbs up for their service!). So we went in for another round & finally, I managed to find what I wanted!

Selected this set of bears for our car deco

******************
The friday before the wedding, we drove into JB to pick up the gowns.

2 big bags of gowns & suits.

My hand bouquet

Collecting our Marriage Cert

Collected our marriage cert a week before the wedding.

Woke up bright and early, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well the night before.

Felt as though we were heading back to office for we took the same route to ROM.

Waiting patiently for our turn.

Crap, our turn! I wasn't prepared yet!

It was a short 15 mins, where we signed the documents. Leecher (the punter) calling our parents to tell them the marriage cert number.

Had a late breakfast/brunch before I went back to the office for work while Leecher continued to laze around the house doing ....... nothing.

Bridal Nails

Pedicure & manicure never existed in my dictionary, as I've never paid much attention to my nails. I prefer to keep my nails short, for I can't stand the dirt trapped underneath those nails when they reached a certain length. So, I went for my virgin mani & pedi session few days before the wedding. When it comes to bridal nails, I was all ready for french nails, as they were simple & classic and matches with everything :)

JL recommended me to this place where she goes for her sessions.

The place was quite crowded even though it was a weekday afternoon.

Giving my feet the well-deserved soak & scrub.

The massaging chair! Love it!

Choosing the colours - wa, didn't know there were so many to choose from.

Working on my feet

All cleaned up and ready :)

Working on my nails ...

with extension, as my original nails weren't long enough.

Ta-dah! The finished product. Something simple for the actual day. Can still see part of my original nails close up.


********************
After coming back from our Bali trip, went back to soak off my nails. Can see how much it has grown over a span of 2 weeks.

After my bridal nails, I think I'm hooked on manicure! haha, Leecher isn't too pleased to know that though :p
