From This Day Forward

2006-05-18T13:15:00.000+08:00

From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home.

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;

I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;

I cannot promise you an easy pathway

That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart's devotion;

A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;

A love that's ever true and ever growing;

A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

First of all, we would like to thank God for everything (and holding off the rain…), the evening was perfect. Our families for their support, love and understanding

March 26, 2006, after much planning and anticipation, the day finally came and glad that everything went as planned.

Here, we would like to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every one of you for coming and sharing with us the joy, happiness and prosperity. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. For those whom had to cut short their trip from England just to attend the dinner, drove from Penang, Ipoh, Pekan and around KL/Selangor … we just don’t know what to say, but Thank You very, very much, we will never forget it!

For those who sang and danced night (you know who you are), greatly appreciated !!! Alan, Jacque, Alex, Leonard, Nurul, Zainudi and team from Suajana, you all did a great job. Thanks for making a memorable night for all of us!!!

Cheers!!! & Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- Seng!!!

Wedding Photos - Studio Shots

2006-03-29T16:34:00.000+08:00

This process is by far the most time consuming and tiring of all processes. One might think what’s the big deal, just go to the studio and snap, snap, snap… done. If only it was that simple.

First of all, you got to “shop” for the Bridal House (Which there are tons of them around), which meets your needs to your budget. This won’t be a problem if you are loaded…For us average Joe’s, what a stress… (We’ve been told people started with a budget of RM 3000 to RM4000 but end up paying RM 6000 to RM 10000 caused they want every single pictures). So you need to know what you want and where to draw the line.

Next, to choose the dresses for the photo shoots, wedding and dinner. NEVER go just the two of you. Bad idea, bring some close friends of the bride. You won’t regret it!

Done? You wish. Few days/weeks later the couple is at the mercy of the photographer!!! “Smile” “Turn Here” “Not Like That” “Hold”…. The agony…….

Finally, the photos are ready for viewing.

Shop Lady “ Ok, chose 45/50 pics you like best from these 150 to 200 pics, take your time….”.

After 5 hours: Bride to shop lady “ If want add, how much…?”

Groom sweating and making ‘gold-fish’ eyes at bride…

Shop Lady “ Around RM 90/100 per pics ++ lor, like that”

Groom pengsan…

Few days/weeks later, shop lady will call and asked you to view their design for the album before sending it for printing. Another headache if you don’t like the design…

Well, that’s the part and parcel of it all. The sweet and sour of the preparation process, where at times both of you are stressed to the limit of testing your love for each other.

Dinner At Sg.Siput, Ipoh, Perak

2006-03-29T09:00:00.000+08:00

March 21 2006, after the registration process and a small breakfast in KL, it was time to go up South to Ipoh, Perak to join the Yeow families for dinner.

Registration

2006-03-28T10:14:00.000+08:00

Our registration was done at the Thean Hou temple, KL. The procedure is easy if you know it before hand and prepare for it. Here’s good guide that we found useful.

Oh, it’s advisable to do the booking ahead of time as we found out that our National Registration Data Banks are full of ‘surprises’!!! We did our registration on March 21 2006, special thanks goes out to Mr. Liow, Pual, Siew Yong, Trisha.
