The most wonderful wedding --- to my family

26th June, its a big day to my family,especially to my brother, it was his wedding!!! He has ended his bachelor life....he is now a married man..... haha........

All of us were so excited waiting 4 the day to come.....
Every1 was so busy for all the preparation, cleaning the house, arranging relatives n friendsaccording to table no, get all the name lists done, getting clothes n accessories 4 the morning ceremony n dinner...etc.... huh, my sis n i spent alot of $$ on our tailored made clothes..... everythg seems a little too rush tat v onli get our dinner gown tat day, n my brother onli told me 2 days be4 his wedding that i was going to play the wedding march: bridal chorus n midsummers nite dream, during his wedding ceremony.... i onli got the time to practised hardlyin the last 2 days midnites.... grrrr..... n i was going to play all the big chords on a KEYBAORD... i knew i am goin to bang a few wrong notes as the keybaord touch is too soft to play big chords, n i did.... a few wrong notes.... huh......

V had open house the day be4 his wedding, v asked my brother how he got to know his wife, n his story was so funny...... but i am not going to tell u guys here..... he seems to make some cold jokes recently, n r acted more actively, my sis n i always teased him that he was having the melancholy syndrom be4 marriage. haha....

So finally, the day came, early in the morning, v woke, got dressed up, my sis n i followed my bro n his "brothers" to "pick up" the bride. Just being busybody to look at how my brother would be "fooled" by the "ji mui"....haha, funny part came, got to eat sandwich with wasabi la, got to wear lady's disposable panties, ( but all were done by the heng dai, not my brother....) =_=", but my brother were asked to list 10 good personalities of his wife, he said: leng , jieng, kind, freindly, hav great initiative....(so bad la, my bro)...etc..... he was asked to sing love songs la.... compose own lyrics la.....bla bla bla...... but this gang of groom n brothers really gentlemen la, even the door is open also dunn0 how to rush in, still negotiating there...

Then after everythg, finally, yamcha session, n my time to get angpau from them
too.. heheAt bout 12 sth, they left n they were rushing back to their own house
n having open house there, some of their friends who could not make it 4 the
dinner were invited to hav lunch there.
At the same time , my sis n i were waiting 4 our gown to arrived. After shower, v rushed to the hair salon, get our hair done then rushed home, got dressed up n our make up done by our own, then got to rush to the hotel by 4sth, cos they were having a churh-like ceremony at the hotel at 5pm be4 the dinner start, as my ah sou is a christian.

Here i played the wedding march 4 the ceremony as the bride n groom marched in n
out. Here they said, " I WILL".


After the ceremony, after having a cocktail, my sis n i started to get busy 4 the registration job. N my parents n a few close relatives were busy as ursheres. At 830pm sharp, the event started, when my parents, n the bride parents marched in, n finally followed by the bride n groom. After a while, my sis n i walked in, my cousins expected to c us walking in elegantly, who knows v were carrying big pack n small packs (some angpau n gift) into the ballroom.
The dinner is served then. A chef on the stage, n a waiter came in by a beca... our master table is so big that v needed some handsigns to communicate with the person across if v din want to shout ,n its nicely decorated with some flower.
The table was places higher than the other tables, which is like on a small stage, n v r at the middle of attention when the spotlight shined on us.

The dinner was great, grand n wonderful. Everythg seems elegant, with a live band playing soft music, with a little prayers from priest, some jokes from the MC, some slideshow of pics taken in the morning, n a slideshow of pics taken when my bro n ah sou were still babies, until now they start their new family. Then both the families went up the stage 4 toasting. After that, my sis, a few cousins n i were busy counting angpau n settle the payment to the hotel at a room in the the ballroom.

After the dinner was over, then onli v got our chance to really take pics n wish them.
Its the 1st time that i c my brother hug my parents so hardly 4 so long, he thx my parents, n my parents said: "tai go cai, manage ur own family well." Finally v could not control out tears from falling, including my ah sou. Then i hugged my ah sou n welcomed her to join our family. After taking some photos, my sis n i hugged my bro be4 leaving. Its the 1st time i hug him, n v tried to hug each other with all our strength, wishing him the very best with all my heart. Again, my wholefamily started sobbing again, feeling very happy 4 him. Finally v made our move to leave the hotel.

After reaching home, my sis n i went crazy again, busy taking photos. After that, v realize i missed a packet of angpau unopened. Then v started counting $$ again. haha..... thats the end of the day, huh, it was so tiring, but its such a wonderful n great day in our life....

For me, its the most wonderful wedding, n i can really feel how touching n happy i am seeing some1 flowing the some blood as me starting his own family.
