Our Wedding 08.04.08 - The Reception
Posted on June 27, 2008 in the Real Weddings category
The Venue - Mr Man’s
Our wedding cake
We got to the restaurant at 1pm and posed for some pictures with our wedding cake first. Then I had to quickly rush outside and throw my bouquet. We had orginally decided to throw the bouquet at Newstead Abbey but as it was raining and time was restricted we decided to throw it at Mr Man’s instead.
Getting ready to throw the bouquet
My friend Aymii who really went for the bouquet
The lucky girl who caught it, well it actually hit the girl behind her on the left (Mimi) but she didn’t want it so it fell to Claire.
The guestbook which everyone signed.
Dave’s dad and granny. I’m in my second outfit which is a kwa for the tea ceremony.
Dave’s dad who got quite emotional at the Tea Ceremony
His parents
Bling bling
After the Tea Ceremony, I quickly got changed into my 3rd outfit as I couldn’t really lift my arms up properly in the kwa so I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat properly.

My parents with Dave’s parents & granny
I only sat down to eat for the first 2 courses as I wanted to take more pictures with my family and friends. After food I got changed into the red cheongsam to do the cheers.I think 4 dress changes were 1 too many. If I had to do it again, I would only have gone for 3 dress changes.

Martin’s speech - he read from a laptop cos he was too lazy to write it out
Dickie’s speech
Dickie brought Dave’s mom on stage to give her a big round of applause
My husband’s speech that was only written the night before.
Fun shoot with my cousins
At the end of the reception - No Dave was not drunk, they were just fooling around.
Thats all I have to say about our wedding, I may have rushed it all but I really didn’t want to write an essay. I don’t know when my next post will be as me and Dave will be really busy with our house so I hope you’ve all enjoyed reading my website.
Ciao

Hi
Im wondering if you could give me some ideas, im british and my partner is british born chinese..we are looking to get married april 2010, is it ok to choose any date or does it need to be an even number?
His mum wants us to have a chinese wedding but im not sure how it all works, i dont mind having a chinese reception but i still want to have a civil ceremony and wear a traditional big white dress..how can i combine the two cultures in to one day?
Thankyou
Kirsty
