Here comes the bride.

*updated with video!*

Am so tempted to finish the whole song...

Here comes the bride,
Here comes the bride,
Here comes the bride,
With a big backside.




WTF.




It was my cousin's wedding over the weekend. Needless to day, I was excited to bits!


Showing some extracts of a scrapbook/ storybook of the romance between Carmy, my cousin, and her beau:








Craig is from New Zealand, whereas Carmy is from Singapore.
(I took pictures from the Chinese version of the scrapbook)




Craig has actually worked in Singapore for 5 years, but their paths have never crossed!




And then, when Carmy relocated to Bahrain for work purposes...





That's when love happened. :)


The book is really funny, and tongue-in-cheek! I got a little teary while going through it. :)



The morning of the wedding!


My parents (dad is behind the lens) came down for the special occasion.




Uncle Hoe is my dad, and Lion... is my mom. -______________-


'Cause she crimped her hair for the wedding. -__________-




Beautifully decorated Lexus (I know my cars ok!).





Haha, so cute.



My mom helping my aunt to primp up. Sisterly love. :)




Waiting for the gatecrashing moment! :P




With Yan Ping, my cousin who used to play Barbie dolls with me. Now she has her own doll wtf. Fabian, the cutest baby in the world! *gushes*




The bride's parents. :)





My beautiful, beautiful cousin. Can I say it again? BEAUTIFUL. Stunning. :)




Craig giving his best puss-in-boots face.
Nice try, but no such look!



One of the tasks he had to do was to say 'I love you' in 3 languages.



Hahaha so cute!


But of course, it wasn't that easy. The catch was he has to go downstairs to scream out these words until the bridesmaids can hear them.

The bride stays on the 12th floor. -____-




Then my aunt fussed about the time (the Chinese believes in carrying out the ceremony at a particular 'blessed' time), shoo-ed the bridesmaids away, and opened the door for the groom to come!! HAHAHA

We kept on making fun of her that she couldn't wait to drink the tea (during the tea ceremony)
given by the son-in-law. :P




Aaah, but there is still another door to go through!
Negotiations with the 'sisters' (i.e. the bridesmaids) taking place.




Craig had to read out this 'Declaration of Love'.


When it came to declaration #2, he said "I will give a ring to Carmy every year"... Smart man omitted the 'diamond'! Hahaha!




Carrying the bride out of her room. :)
(Let's pretend that the blur effect is 'cause the picture is dreamy ok wtf)





Feeding each other sweet date soup-- to signify 'tian tian mi mi' i.e. a sweet blissful marriage.




My aunt fastening a piece of jewellery on my cousin's hand. :)




My parents with their matching ang paos. -_-




I LOVED my cousin's self-designed cheongsam!



Group pictures:










Custom made ang paos given out by my cousin.




I felt like a tri-layer cake for the day.





Matching bloom cluster earrings and ring. Pastel colors FTW for such a romantic occassion! :P





Pretty pearl bracelet. :)
