Our wedding will be all about FAMILY. Chris' father past away last year. A healthy, good hearted,
warm man suddenly left us. We are all still in shock... I know everyone secretly wish that he can be there at the wedding, but nobody ever dare to talk about it. So I asked my dad to design a wedding logo for us which will also be a dedication to
Chris' father. The logo has his chinese name hidden in it. & the fact that my dad designed it for his dad just makes it even more special!
This is my beaded tennis shoes. I'll be changing into these comfortable shoes after the ceremony!
:)
My mom's not too thrilled about the idea of me in tennis shoes on the wedding day, but look at it, isn't it beautiful?!!! :p
This is the hair style I want to go for but without the feathers. I'll probably end up with something similar to this, but not exactly the same cuz my hair is a lot longer than the model in the picture. My make-up / hair artistic will be Yi-Yi from the Beauty Creator. She's very patient & easy to talk to. So far the experience has been nothing but wonderful!
& this is our wedding favor for the reception. Thought it's really pretty! Got them from Little Things Wedding Favors on ebay. They have all kinds of wedding favors. I actually had a tough time picking a favorite one out of all the interesting stuff they have! & I really saved a lot money on this!!
We've got these Bride & Groom Rubber Ducky as our wedding favors (because the groom-to-be LOVES rubber ducky). Our guests will each receive a set when they arrive for the wedding ceremony. Oriental Trading has a large variety of different rubber ducky, but this is my favorite one!! I also got some valentine draw string bag that's on sale from them! & each set of these adorable wedding favor will cost us less than $2.00!!
My father also designed our wedding invitation. He wrote a chinese poem with our names & hand written every single one of them. He chant a blessing with every word he wrote, so not only the people who received our invitations are invited to our wedding, they are all blessed with good fortune & love.
& yes, my father drew this flower too. We just happen to use Orchid as the main flower for the wedding too... ;)
We have some wedding postcards made with the wedding logo for our guests to leave special messages for us. We'll have a table set up for it so that our guests can sit down & write something special for us throughout the wedding.
My beautiful family ~ that's when I had short hair about two years ago. I can't stand my long hair now. It's
a mess & I don't know what to do with them!!
I'll be cutting them the day after my wedding! My FI's not really looking forward to that, but oh, well, too bad! Heehee! :p
We are having a beautiful out-door ceremony & in-door reception. FI & I fell in love with the venue & surroundings the 1st time we visit the venue together. We knew it was the one! The people there are just wonderful! & it's been a pleasuer working with them!!
Something similar to the style in picture. Got it at David's Bridal for $99 & together with the slip, I paid less than $120 tax included! Though the dress was purchased off the sales rack, it was brand new with no dirt or marks on it! It was the 1st dress I tried on & was a PERFECT fit! I just had to purchase it right away!!
My MOH made this wonderful invitation for my Bridal Lunch. I didn't even know she was doing that for me! I was totally surprised by it when we received the invitation! It was so sweet of her! :)
