After a hectic morning, finally the newly wed could make their way to the hotel - Regent Hotel.

Time really flew past quickly and soon, it was time for lunch.

For my cousin, she had a wedding lunch for her family, relative and guests.

Wedding lunch is cheaper as the hotel charges are lower. And it is convenient for the guests in the sense it was just a short 3 hours lunch and normally lunch will end at abouot 3 plus to 4pm.

And most importantly, the newly-wed can rest after a busy day.

Wedding is very, very, very tiring!

After having some fun during the wedding game, at least for me, the groom finally could enter the home and meet his bride.

Normally for a typical Chinese wedding custom, the groom will first go to the bride’s home and bring her back to his home to meet his own parents and then make another return trip back to the bride’s home.

There would be suckling pig and mandarin oranges to be brought back from the groom’s home back to the bride’s home as a form of wedding gift and they also symbolise good fortune for the newly wed.

At the groom’s home, there will be offering of tea to his parents and relatives and cousins in order of seniority.

For cousins who are younger, they will offer tea to the newly-wed, and in return, they will get red-packets with money inside. This signifies blessings from the newly-wed.

My cousin is rather an emotional girl and she was Continue Reading »

My mind was rather heavy this few days especially having attended a funeral.

One of my colleague’s husband passed away and it was rather sudden.

Having heard from her, it was a choice towards death, Continue Reading »

After the church wedding in the morning, we went back home for a rest.

It was soon night time and we were off to Stuart and Kloudiia’s wedding party in Upper Club, CHIJMES, Singapore.

Before we went, some of us met for lunch and we were discussing if it was of a sit-down type with round tables and chairs and if we were lucky enough, we could see a wedding dance from the newly-wed.

When we were there, we were kinda of surprised.

Tired of reading from your computer screen?

In need of more time so that you can do more things in a day?

Why not turn to wedding sites that offer you to listen to them speak and you can multi-task other things at the same time?

The whole wedding was divided into 3 parts.

In the morning, it was the church wedding.

Followed by an afternoon of fine-dining in a Country Club and then, another wedding party at night (which I will blog in part 3 soon and this was part 1 of their wedding.)

I think it was a wedding of a different kind, in the sense they do not have wedding dinner, which normally Chinese wedding couples have.

From how I see it, wedding dinner is meant more for the relatives and families as Chinese take it as a formal invitation for everyone that the family knows and has such a grand celebration to announce to everyone that their children are getting married.

But again, you may not want to know the hassle of organising one with all the problems ranging from interference of mother-in-law to not really friendly or helpful hotel staff.

For the wedding party, it is eh… I should tell you more in the next post.

Anyway, back to Stuart and Kloudiia’s wedding, below is a slideshow of their church wedding.

I was dabbling with an ebook cover generator and testing the limits of my artistic skills.

In fact, I love art but it was just that they stopped offering art as an examinable subject when I was in Secondary 3 (age 15).

So it was a long Sunday and I decided to make good use of my time.

So below were what I created in 2 hours throughout the hot afternoon of Singapore.

“P.S: These can be made into virtual wedding invitation card and be placed in your wedding site. Save money, doesn’t it? And save the trees. :-p
