My unconventional wedding

Just had a makan session with our wedding coordinators (Joe & Irene Chow!) and we discussed so much till we ran out of stuff to discuss....! (Actually we were more preoccupied playing with their 2 hyperactive Schnauzers).. :P

Joe & Irene

We covered issues from "how NOT to get your angpows hijacked halfway" to "where and how can I toss my bouquet to single girls".... Every weddings has something unique or unconventional either in the proceedings or the dressing.... Joe aptly pointed out how unconventional my wedding is going to be:

1) The bride will walk down the aisle on her own
- no nervous kids, no bride's father, just me myself and I down that lane...

2) There are no pre-wedding photos of me in my actual gown
- I figured that I'll be stuck in that gown the entire day on 11th July and will be having plenty of pics in it. So why show it beforehand?

- A friend who's getting married 2 weeks after mine hasn't even seen his bride-to-be in her gown. That's how special!!!!!!!!!!!


3) Sleep late on the Actual Day and wake up at 9am
- Okay, maybe 8am since i need an hour to makeup. But it helps that I'm not Teochew and I hope to sleep in as much as possible... (Can there be a lazier bride than me?!)

Maybe it's my perspective about the wedding... I look it at as a birthday-party of sort... Just a happy gathering-together of people I've not met for a long time and people I've known for a while now... It's probably gonna be an event that my guests remember and talk about for at most a week? and probably a month extra for me and Randy. So nuttin to be too sweaty about... Afterwards it's marriage life, baby! ;)

  3. i think you'll look super cool and unique walking down the aisle alone although i think it would indeed be slightly nerve-wrecking. as you can see, i like to break traditions! quite terrible!
