It turned out to be a fabulous and perfect wedding!!! Hereby, I would like to record every single bit of effort which Oggy and myself had put together for this big day 26th of Oct.
(1) Our Wedding Album @ http://affectionoflife.blogspot.com/2007/08/for-sharing.html.
(2) Wedding Venue - Changi Village Hotel
Reasons we chose this hotel because we like the ambience, off the city and allow 7 tables of 8 course chinese wedding dinner to be hosted. By the way, we stayed a night at 6th floor with the room facing the sea.
(3) Solemniser - Teo Chong Tee (JP)
I have randomly picked the solemniser from the registered list and lucky did I choose a former MP.
(4) Registration of marriage @ ROM website
(5) Wedding Favours
We have sourced for the Heart-shaped keychain which comes in 5 colour. Printed with the word "love" in the middle. I have also bought the gold organza bags to better present them to the guests. For VIP tables. I have sourced for a chinese couple magnet keychain in pink organza bag.
(6) DIY our own wedding invitation card
It took me months of effort to complete our wedding invitation card of 50 in quantity. Time was needed to source for a right background, font type, text written, hard envelope colour, texture, ribbon, pin, card cutting, printing, etc. It was never easy to find something which suit my style. I have done up so many samples but failed. The process of seeking for the right style has eventually enlighten me to go with metallic colour theme. Here are my wedding cards.
I bought this dress because it looks simple and yet elegant. The colour suits my theme as well.
(8) Makeup Artist
I have used the same makeup artist who did for my wedding album. http://www.simplyjoann.com/
(9) Actual day photographer
Oggy has spent time running around several stores and in the end, we decided to go with Shutterbug @ http://shutterbug.com.sg/.
(10) DIY own video montage
This video montage which lasted for about 4 min plus actually took us months to finalise it. This video montage was purely diy by me. Really painful process to source for the backgrounds which I like, the transition styles to ensure the entire montage has a smooth transition and everything has to fixed in nicely with the timing of the song as well.
(11) Songs for the night
Oggy has sourced for the following songs:-
a. March in - Firehouse (Love Of A Lifetime) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p61Q_DOwtps
b. Video Montage - Shania Twain( From This Moment) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8qj2MzIlJw
c. Food serve - The Verve (Bitter Sweet Symphony) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-Po8uJeoUw
(12) Flowers and wedding room decoration
I have aliased and worked with the florist on the following:-
- Ivory Slash for Solemnisation Chairs
- Dark Gold for VIP Table Chairs
- Dark Gold Ribborn on the side of Reception Table
- VIP Centerpiece add Green Cybidium with Red Roses
- 30 pcs of Dark Gold Slash for Notaml Table (Alt)
- Cocktail Centerpiece with 3 Ivory Roses and Hyper
- Door Posy (Ivy Leaves wreath with 2 Green Cybidium & 3 Red Roses)
- Roses Corsages x 3
(13) DIY wedding GuestBook
My cousin Aileen has helped me diy on the Guest Book. It is in a form of two joined big hearts stuffed with polyester with few pages of cupboard paper behind. I love it!!
(14) Wedding MCs
We have two cheeky MCs with us on the night and they had made our wedding a success. They were Rafeal and Aileen. Without the effort of this handsome chap and pretty babe, our wedding would not be so interesting, fun and entertaining. They had really really did a great job in coming out with the speech in both english and chinese and their effort to meet up, sit together to brain storm those entertaining games for us. Thumb up to our Two MCs. We appreciate your hardwork and enthusiasm in this event.

We have enjoyed every single moment including the yum seng session. So much so much fun. The games especially had brought life to the entire atmosphere. Firstly, Oggy sang a song "Beautiful girl" with some funny dancing and hand gesture to me. I was laughing to the stage which my tears were dropping down .
Secondly, it was the blindfold game which Oggy had to take off his shirt, wrapped with aluminium foil by the bride's team mates. After which, Oggy's team mates were given 60 secs to hang grapes around his body. Guess what, with the direction instruction given by my team mates, I have to finish eating all the grapes while I was blindfolded. Well, you should be smart enough to know where those grapes were hang. Phew, luckily it was seedless..lol
Thirdly and lastly, it was the Lap dance. It was the funniest game of the night. The Bridegroom together with three males friends (My brother, Rafeal and Ah Tat), the full monte were asked to take off their shirt with the sexy music in the background. They have to shake their butts to their partners (me, Jessica, Aileen and Elynn) sitting on the chair watching the lap dance.
Well, all in all, everything was well planned and most importantly, we together with the guests had a memorable night. The event ended abt 11 pm sharp and for some, they have stayed back behind for more happening party. I was laughing my way till 3 plus in the morning together with my cousin and some of oggy's friends. My jaws almost dropped off.
Many have even smsed us after the night saying that it was the best wedding reception they had ever attended. We would like to thanks every single guest (99.9% of attendance) who has made the effort to attend, grace and enjoy our private wedding ceremony. Though it was only 7 tables, but we are very sure, we get more out from those who host big wedding dinner definitely.
Lastly, stay tune to the coming actual night photos ........
