Afterword

Yay! We had so much fun and we hope you did too! *Pops Champange* (we really popped another champange at our room right after the wedding, but it was so much easier and effortless..!)

Many thank you to all our guests! If there was anything that was less than satisfactory to you (the food, the table planning etc), please forgive us. We held a small wedding reception (16 tables), so we had to be very selective with the guests we invited. We did not invite some friends for the dinner because we don't know who he/she could sit with, so please don't be offended if you were not invited.

The Videos!

If you miss our Growing Up wedding montage or our same day Morning Highlights, you can watch it here! Note that the "miss" in the previous sentence covers two meanings.

The Growing Up wedding montage was created by the combined efforts of NN and FF. Not too bad for a DIY production, we thought.

Wedding Montage - Growing Up
The Morning Highlights was created by our very efficient videographer, Kevin, who pieced it up in a mere few hours!

Same Day Morning Highlights

The Missing Pieces

Aww, we were so touched when we see so many guests coming down so early to check out our highly advertised Pre-Dinner Reception. Some guests even came down JUST for the pre-dinner reception even though they were not attending the dinner! You guys made it possible for us to start on schedule!

We know, some of you were wondering... "Is that all?", "Where's the photo gallery?", "What wedding stamp?"

We prepared a big heart-shape collage of a photo collection for the photo gallery. It was a special outdoor shooting session we engaged where we re-reacted the stuff from some of the Line stickers. Some photos below when we tried to set up our photo collage at the venue before our wedding. It was supposed to be on the mirror right beside the reception table which was one of the highlights of pre-dinner reception.

This was the heart collage we made ourselves!

It was supposed to look like this (except more centralized) beside the reception table.

And we had a customized wedding stamp! It was meant for guests to play with before the dinner, or even to use as a little tattoo on themselves. Luckily, we stamped the design on your goodie bag so that at least you guys had an idea how it should look like.

Our customized wedding stamp

Our photobooth was actually not completely set up on the actual day. The lamp was missing. It was meant to solve the issue of the dim lighting which affected the image quality of the photobooth. The light was actually not as glaring as it seems in the photo below. However we did not have enough time to brief our bridesmaids before they set up that day because of several last minute emergencies that day, so they didn't know it had to be set up this way.

Thank you to guests who actively played with our photobooth! You may download the photos at this link. If you would like a printed hardcopy of your photo, let us know by filling up the form at the bottom of this page.

We kept most of these a secret (at least the details), wanting to unveil everything on the actual wedding day itself. Who knows, the photo collage and the customized wedding stamp were no where to be found on that day. Well, sometimes things happen. You only have the pictures to enjoy now.

In fact, we also lost our iPad mini on the actual day morning itself during the gate-crashing. Luckily, we borrowed an iPad mini in time for the evening. Unfortunately, the iPad was not updated to the latest OS and the app was also running an old version, so it was quite buggy and lag at times. The original one was much smoother.

Guess what? That was not all. We also lost a few other personal items on that day because our Bridal Suite was not ready at the hotel at the stated time, so we had to check in to a temporary room and change a room in a rush right before our solemnization. It was too rushed for us to pack and check thoroughly.

It seemed like the unlucky "losing-things-star" was shining on us that day - we lost so many valuable items in one single day! But surprisingly, the night still went amazingly well because of all the people present on our special day. The guests were extremely punctual which granted our wish for a punctual wedding. The people performing their respective roles brilliantly delivered their jobs which far exceeded our expectations -

  • the emcees, Joel and Shavonne, were so eloquent that they sounded like professionals even though one of them was totally inexperienced; 
  • the brothers and sisters team who slogged behind the scenes and handled whatever we didn't want to handle on the day itself;
  • the unofficial photographer, William, whom we didn't know he was good at photography until he volunteered himself a few days before the event!
  • the musicians, Kang Kim & Matthew, who volunteered to sing for us and sang so beautifully!
  • the videographer's (Kevin) morning highlights was really good even though we slightly overrun our morning schedule and he had limited time to do it; 
  • the phoptographer's (Sam) live feed service was impressive - a picture of you is taken and it's all over the screens and projectors seconds later; 
  • the make-up and hairstyles (Valerie) were so gorgeous that so many guests have commented about it;
  • the Justice of Peace (Judith Lee) gave us a very exquisite handmade card that we were so surprised that she spent so much efforts to make such an elaborated card for us even though we have only met her once before the wedding day.
