Attended my cousin's wedding and accompanied her as what they call "jie-mei" for the whole day.
It was a good experience for me la, just like what so many aunties said.
So the day started was my mum, sis and me arriving at the bride's house at 7 plus. There, we met the other jie-meis, mostly my cousin's friends. Ha, then being SO experienced(some have been jie-meis for over 10 times), they came up with lots tricks and punishment to tekam the groom and his "xiong-di". Gee. It was kinda fun la, just like in television shows, we blocked the front gate blah blah.. And we got our angbaos. The xiong-di was so lame that they put several specimen notes to trick us. HEH.
And then fast forward to the groom's house. Kinda quiet. Kinda solemn. Dont know why. Ha, maybe because the number of xiong-di and jie-mei plus the couple simply outnumbered the family members there. Lol. Oh! Did I mentioned that my sis and I were supposed to hold the back of the uberly heavy gown for my cousin all the way. phew.
And then went to my cousin's new house. Wah. Allll the way to Jurong. And there, she changed into those shocking red traditional china clothing and went Fullerton for photo-shooting.
Drove there and all the xiong di jie mei reckon that we need not go for photo shoots and ahha.. stayed in the car. AIRCON!
Oh! I didnt know until yesterday that there's a very detailed schedule for the couple to follow know.. haha. And so, being pressed for time, we rushed back to the bride's house and all those "drink-tea sessions" took place la.
Finally at about 2 plus, we went home. BUT! It's not the end! Ohmygosh.
After catching a short nap, we bathed and changed and cabbed to my cousin's house again.
Went there to catch a lombang to the hotel. I think it's Swiss Hotel bah. Not very sure.
Ha, we got to be there early coz I'm supposed to be the receptionist. OMG. Everything's my first time. Kinda scary. But then after a while, everything starts to fall in place and we collected lots lots angbaos. but it wasnt for me la duh. For that hour, I was in charge of tens of thousands. Lala~
Afterwhich we went up to the hotel room. Woah! Super class and romantic. Have a very good view of Singapore's CBD area.
Fast forward to the dinner. Havent been to a dinner for quite some time. Oh! I forgot to mention, cuz my cousin hubby is some officer in some army thingy. He had a march-in! With the sword barriers! SO cool!! With the golden swords and white top! they look uberly smart. Whahaha!
Halfway through, there's this love declaration by the groom. Awww.. so sweet. The content was very touching. wonder whether my cousin teared.
And then! Finally everything ended at 11 plus. And HOME SWEET HOME!
Yesterday was the first time in my life so far to witness a wedding procedure so thoroughly. First time I went arnd with so many working adults, sitting in their cars. Whoo! Anyhow, it was a great experience afterall. =)
Here's a photo of the souvenirs! I hope I will get the other photos fast.
