This trip home has been all things wedding-y. I was back for my dear friend's Corinne's wedding, and I had to start preparing for mine! I thought it was great I could be part of her wedding so I could take some notes hehe for mine.
As usual, the day started early and we were supposed to reach her place before 7am. Us bridesmaids were to get ready the props for the "gatecrashing games" and as I told my fellow bridesmaids, Bel is very out of touch being a bridesmaid so I will just follow along. Their suggestions on the games were really funny and the good thing is that we were all on the same page - no degrading games. It's a happy occasion after all - there is no need to be overly difficult. Classy games, that's it - those are the two words we used. haha
I was rather nervous to be honest haha cos I didn't really know what to expect. The couple hired a really cute vintage looking VW van which I have been swooning after for years. Horn horn, we heard the groom and his band of brothers loud and clear at 745am.
We played 3 games at the void deck due to the lack of space at their corridor. We proceeded upstairs for the last game before they had to cross the last hurdle - in the form of Cor's doting sister, who wanted to ensure Darren love Corinne loads and that her baby sister is marrying the right guy :) I would love a sister like that!
We had to leave for the church solemnisation before 10am and by then you can imagine I felt all hot and sweaty already. The church ceremony was beautiful and we totally loved their flower girl and page boy. Uber cute kids!
After the ceremony was followed by lunch, and then we travelled all the way across the island to Darren's place where Corinne changed into the Cantonese "kua" dress. (Afternoon sun at full force, I was still wiping away beads of perspiration.) By this time I was teetering on my heels, wishing I was wearing flat shoes. Mental note: really need to get used to wearing more heels.
We were so glad we had a helpers' room at the hotel so we girls could lie for a bit, chat and cool down in the air conditioned room before getting ready for the dinner.
What a beautiful day seeing Corinne marry the love of her life. I was moved to tears myself when I saw the surprise video her sister arranged for them - she interviewed the whole extended family who all conveyed their heartfelt wishes for the newlyweds. How touching.
Congratulations again Corinne and Darren! God bless this beautiful union and that you guys live in bliss for many many years to come!
