Yes I Do...

12.05.12.
On a beautiful Saturday in the corner of a smaller island of this little island. We said our vows, exchanged rings and promised to take care of each other for the rest of our lives.
Whilst awaiting photos from our photographer, here are some from our dear friends and relatives...
Looking back, it was a busy 3 months of preparation for that 3 hours of limelight, but nonetheless, it was all done with a big smile and filled with happiness.
I initially had some reservations about the place, because our coordinator wasn't very responsive initially and we didn't get to view the room for a solemnization set-up prior to the event, neither was there any food tasting. But the place didn't disappoint. We checked in at 2pm and were greeted with a welcome note on a king-sized bed, a plate of fresh fruits (which I devoured before the make-up start), a nespresso machine (which I didn't really know how to use though), huge toilet with glass walls and sinking in bathtub and a tv screen in front of it! how cool is that! And not forgetting, the remote-controlled curtains that opened up to a magnificent view of yachts! Breath-taking!
The spread was excellent! Good variety and quality of cold appetizers, hot food, desserts etc, and the waiters auto-refilled any dish that was finishing. Love the lighted dining table and my blue roses!
I can't put it in words how the whole process felt like. Although I've been counting down day by day, and gradually building up the anxiety, until the night before, when I stared into blank space and it hit me with the "OMG it's tomorrow" feeling. On Saturday itself, morning we were making double and triple sure we have packed everything we needed to bring, then finalized the transport arrangements and some fine details like who to do what, how the march-in will be like etc. Then I constantly looked at the clock and finally set off.
From the time my make-up artiste and photographer arrived and the function room was ready to use (which was about 5pm), everything happened so fast, so much so that I didn't really had a good look at myself before we starting snapping photos. Then our solemnizer came at about 7pm, and shortly after he sat himself down and addressed the audience, I was given the cue to march in, before I had the time to realize "this is it". From there, we basically just followed instructions. I wasn't nervous but I couldn't really remember what I said! The whole solemnization only took a few minutes, too short to shake in the fact that "That was it! Done!" All those weeks of effort and money spent just for that few minute, but I certainly enjoyed the whole process and definitely have no regrets.
Now when I look at that cheeky boy whom I call my hubby, there's only 2 words to describe: 幸福.
