WEDDING UPDATE

Yes, we're finally married! Our wedding culminated in the wedding dinner on 10 November 2007 @ Bankers Club. From the feedback that we've heard so far, we are both happy and relieved that the event turned out to be more successful and memorable than we could have ever imagined (although there were many last minute work behind the scenes and glitches too, during the events themselves).

The smooth running of the entire event was only possible due to the tremendous amount of help that we have received and we are truly grateful and thankful to have received so much support from so many people. But all the hard work would have amounted to nothing if there were no guests - so, thank you to everyone for attending and sharing the many memorable moments with us.

And of course, a VERY BIG THANK YOU goes out to the many people who have rendered their invaluable help to us (we couldn't have done this without you):

Immediate family members:
- Sze's Dad & Mom, who did lots of running around for the wedding eve dinner and the traditional wedding ceremonies.
- Eunice's Dad, for lending us his precious vehicle to be the bridal car.
- Eunice's Mom, for lots of advice and conducting the traditional wedding ceremonies.
- Kin Yuen, who was the very busy bestman/Heng Tai and came back all the way from Toronto after 19 years just for the wedding :)
- Mr Yeoh and Fiona, for their advice and help during the tea ceremonies, organizing the food, logistics and running errands when we were too busy.
- Steven, for ushering the guests and the "pants" ceremony.
- Naomi, for being the bridesmaid and guest receptionist.
- Lee Horng, for opening the bridal car door.

Close relatives and friends:
- Richard Hoe, for being the MC and Heng Tai (chief negotiator).
- May May, for her help during the tea ceremony and guest receptionist.
- Jae-Han, the most dedicated driver/Heng Tai who worked longer hours for me (16 hours) than in his full-time job!
- Aunt Molly and Aunt Kathryn, for helping out Sze's Mom and Dad during the wedding eve dinner and the traditional wedding ceremonies.
- Aunt Marina, for her advice and experience in organizing the wedding.
- Su Lim, for her letting us mine her experience as a "wedding planner" and for being the guest receptionist.
- Boon, for being the videographer/2nd photographer and Heng Tai.
- Wai Hoe, for being the "drink" & drive Heng Tai.
- Mr Loh and Keefe, for their roles in opening the bridal car door, bed jumping and "kung-fu" smashing the potty cover.
- Khoon Leng, for her help during the tea ceremony.
- Sam and Chen Chen, for helping with the last minute work upstairs just before the dinner.
- Alice, for being the sound engineer (in a dress :P) and Chi Mui.
- Venus, for her laptop computer and Chi Mui.
- Nian Tze and Soo Peng for being the Chi Mui.

One of the events that had to be cancelled during the dinner @ Bankers Club was our Childhood Montage presentation which could not be completed in time. So to make it up, we have posted it online here for your viewing pleasure... enjoy :)
