Our Wedding 08.04.08 - The Preparations
Posted on June 20, 2008 in the Real Weddings category
I just remembered that I still haven’t written a full account of my wedding day. Well since I have a free couple of hours, I thought I’d have a go at it although its been over 2 months since the wedding and I might have forgotten some small details but here goes….
The Day before
I should start off with the day before cos thats when it really started. Well I had my older sis Helen and my cousin Michelle with me in the morning. We had a few things to get from town like flowers to decorate the Weddiing Cake table and some gel pads for my feet. Then the we went for a nice lunch to calm my nerves, I wasn’t feeling nervous if I remember, I was excited and just wishing for the day to arrive already.
In the afternoon my 2 best friends and bridesmaids, Fion and Pauline arrived from Birmingham. My flowers also got delivered in the afternoon but it was unlucky that during the unloading process, 1 of the bridesmaids roses from the bouquet broke off and 1 of my roses on my bouquet got bent. I was a little upset but there was nothing I could do, I wasn’t there when it got delivered but thats probably what you get when you pick the cheapest florist.
We had to do quite abit of running around that day, my bridesmaids had to go and buy the stuff for the door games so I took them to the supermarket and they also had to check into their hotel and have dinner at my house too. At about 7pm I tried on all my dresses in front of all the girls cos they hadn’t seen any of them yet and then at 8pm, everyone left and I got ready for bed.
I did not get any sleep the night before my wedding, even though I got into bed at 9pm, I even watched a really boring film but I still could not sleep. I think I only managed to get 30 mins sleep before I woke up at 4am.
The Wedding Day
I started the morning with a cup of coffee and 2 slices of toast cos I didn’t want my tummy to rumble during our ceremony hehe. I then did my make up, well just the base as Helen would be doing my eyes for me. At 5am Fion, Helen and Pauline arrived at my house, it was still dark and we had to be ready by 7am. Prior to the wedding day I had printed out our wedding day schedule for only the key players i.e bridesmaid, best men, photographers etc…
My hairdresser arrived at about 6.20am, she was late but she still completed my hairstyle in time. Although I think she kinda rushed it but most people said it looked ok until you got close to my hair and you could see it was a little bit messy.
All my flowers had to be trimmed aswell so my little sis Mary and my cousin Kim were cutting them at 6.30am. Our videographer arrived at around that time too so he was filming all the preparations and to be honest he really didn’t get in the way, even through the whole day both videographers were kinda just in the background which was a good thing. All my Gee Mui’s arrived on time aswell.
After some last minute steam ironing and touch ups to my make up, I was ready and waiting for Dave and his guys to arrive. They were meant to be at the front door by 7am. The Hing Dai’s got there on time but Dave and his best men didn’t arrive until 7.10am. I think they planned to be late so that my gee mui’s wouldn’t have that much time to spend on the games.
