Brother's Wedding

had been busy and hectic weekend for me ah... reason being: it was my beloved brother's BIG day on Monday, 3rd Nov. so over the weekend, i was busy finishing up the preparation work for his wedding and doing all the last min confirmation on the wedding dinner's details. well, i only have 1 brother and being his only sister, i must do my very best to help out and make sure his day go on without any problems. & it had been quite a while since the Lim's family have such grand event so we were trying to make sure things do go too wrong.

during the DAY, we had the traditional customary ceremony and tea ceremony @ my parents' house @ Bukit Merah View. althought it was a weekday, my uncles and aunties and cousins managed to come by to witness the impt moment for my brother. i am pretty sure tat my brother felt delighted after receiving so many heart warming wishes and blessings from my relatives. as for the dinner at NIGHT, not only did most of our relatives came, most of my parents', brother's and sister-in-law's friends and colleagues came for the dinner @ Marina Mandarin Hotel to send their best wishes to the couples. minus some hipcups during the initial period of the dinner, the night went on perfectly well with well-coordinated timing. the whole dinner ended at abt 1030pm which was within our expectation. and of cos the tired couple enjoyed their nite @ the executive suite which was really cosy. as of the timing when tis entry was posted, my brother and sister-in-law shld be in Hong Kong, enjoying their short getaway trip as their Honeymoon.

with this entry, i hereby would like to wish them: Congratulations! and may happiness bless their marriage forever!!! 百年好合,永结同心!& oso 早生贵子!!! so tat i can be 姑姑 real soon... :D

Part 3: Wedding Dinner


performance by the couple: Rumba Dance... (cousin SW, is not salsa tat they r dancing) both of them specially went for a 3mths express course to learn how to dance Rumba. though both of them learnt how to dance Salsa but both types of dances r different so there's a need for good coordination. overall, the dance was quite well done.. at least none of them fell down.. whaha... of cos, if they had more trainings, the effect will be even better~

the toast...
"yum seng", "yum yum yum.... seng"

the nuptial drink

before, in-between & after the wedding dinner, we managed to capture some memorable moments...

Lynnette dominated the whole stage before the start of the dinner... she sang a few of her favourite children songs to entertain everyone.. whahah...

Weiqi, Aunt Cindy, Lynnette & myself... taking a breather in between the dinner...

after months of preparation, finally the wedding was a great success. all thanks to everyone's hardwork, effort and coordination. i certainly hope the couple had a great night and all the guests enjoyed the dinner. for myself, i had lots of fun. though there were alot preparation work to be done before that and there were quite a number of tasks to help out during the wedding, i still enjoyed myself very much. i am really very happy for my brother.. finally... my "kor kor" grow up liao! whahaha...
