The mad rush

Days are flying by, and we're all scrambling to get things settled. Notice there are hardly any new blog entries with substantial content? Here's a quick sum up of what we've done in the last month leading up to the actual day...

Bridal bed "installation" and basic home decorating (read: basic, ie. almost non-existent)

Church rehearsal and helpers' briefing

In random order: pack favours for guests (my room does smell lovely with whiffs of coffee, teas and chocolates...), make statutory declaration, try to catch up on rest, collect gowns and suit, buy shoes, work out table seatings, try not to panic, print and tie church programme booklets, memorise wedding vows, try not to panic, go for facials/massages/mani-pedi, try to catch up on rest, finalise arrangements for food, flowers, decorations, helpers, bridal car, actual day programme, etc. (ie. the nitty gritty details)

And of cos we do not forget to take time off to enjoy the festivities!

A mad rush it was indeed!

Limid edition

A very special thanks also goes out to Pei Shieen for her beautiful "limid" edition invitation cards!

Spot the difference!

They glow in the dark too!

To fit, too fitting

It was a dark and stormy night, and we had to fight off the cats and the dogs in order to accomplish our task for the day... attempt to fit into our respective completed gown and suit! It was a time of reckoning, to find out if we've lost or put on...

But before that, it's a makeover for me!

From dowdy to doll (well Xingmin thinks I'm one! :P).

It fits!!! Whew!


Doesn't Xingmin look so suave? :)

Lesson #3

Always print extra cards and prepare extra envelopes.

Thank God we did both.

Lesson #2

Marker pens also do not write well on art card, especially if the emulsion is not well mixed.

Lesson #1

Gel-liner pens are not meant for writing invitations printed on art card.

The words smudge.

Big time.

Unless you have the luxury of time (needs to be left to dry overnight), buy a marker.

Remember, look out for "marks on anything".

Please Mr Postman

(Stop)

Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman

(Wait)
Wa-a-a-ait Mister Postman
Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's an invitation in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that wedding couple

WAIT NO LONGER!

THE INVITATIONS ARE FINALLY READY!!!




Please do keep a lookout over the next week.

Here, we'd like to extend our deepest gratitude to Ting Chun, who has sacrificed many hours to design our card, and for being so patient with our numerous requests and fickle-mindedness.

Thank you!
