Martin + Pauline Wedding II

I honestly have been spending less time on the internet. Previously back in Malaysia I spent an average of 14 hours per day in front of my laptop no kidding! Most of the time chatting, surfing, working, facebooking, stalking blogs.

Now I spend more time in the real world. Partly because I'm in a new country..well not actually that new to me but spending holidays here versus actually LIVING here does have a difference. I spend more time getting to know the places here, where to eat, what to eat, where to go, what are the cheaper things to buy and most importantly, the bus routes, the MRT routes, the public transportation cards, kopitiam cards, bank accounts, internet banking, credit cards. There really are a whole lot I need to do to get settled down. So yah. Averagely now I only spend 8 hours in front of the PC and those are used mainly to work. The weird thing is, I really didn't feel left out for not logging in to FB or anything. Good to catch up on friends' updates sometimes but I think its better that I have something to do rather than facebooking any chance I get.

I'll write on my new life here soon but now, let's continue with the wedding shall we?


#1 The church is quite huge. It has almost 30x3 rows of long benches.



#2 The bored flower girls.We were late for almost 45 mins or so. And I heard before we reach they didn't even switch on the fans. Oh did I forget to mention that the church is not air-conditioned.



#3 Groomsmen reached 1 hour earlier and getting rather impatient.



#4 We finally reached and the ceremony started rightaway. Not even 5 minutes for us to prepare and in the midst of the rush, we dropped the rings and Candy had to hurriedly pick it up and tie it back on the ring pillow while telling Ethan not to worry and walk slow, which he did =D



#5 Maid of honor walk with Canon in D playing in the background.



#6 Followed by me and Yvonne.



#7 Then comes the Wedding March and my very smart looking dad escorted the bride in.



#8 Priest speech time.



#9 Everyone get seated and then started singing the praises for God.



#10 Lim's family.... minus my brother and sister in law because they're busy taking photo and video hehe. Ethan really look smart in his suit that day and he's such a good ring bearer too! He was quietly seated, didn't run around or give trouble at all.



#11 Do you take Pauline as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do you part?



#12 The priest put the rings into a tray of holy water before they wore it. We were saying that we probably don't need the ring pillow at all because right after Ethan finished his walk in the church, they took the rings and put on another tray (the one that little boy was holding on the right) and gave the ring pillow back. Hehe 2 minutes glamor only for the pillow.



#13 Just for the sake of it.



#14 I wanted to caption it 'Priest giving his blessings' but mistakenly wrote Father but aih..lazy to change.



#15 At last! All done and over with! Well.....for the first part, at least.



#16 One of my favorite photos snapped.



#17 Following that was the photo taking sessions. Starting with families, than the train, groom's friends, bride's friends, etc etc.



#18 Bridesmaids with the married couple.



#19 Ah there you go. The busy photographer and videographer hehe. And of course, the cute ring bearer.



#20 120% of the people would say I'm the elder sister FML. Really I always tried to correct them that shorter doesn't mean younger ok! LOL.



#21 My sister really look radiant and bright that day. Every one of her smiles is captured so beautifully and looking at it I really felt so happy for her.



#22 Bouquet tossing time! Well not every wedding I go to does this. The first time was in Step's sister's wedding and Step's younger sister caught the flower heh.



#23 HONESTLY SERIOUSLY HONESTLY if I reach out my hand I would have caught it coz it's right in front of me and the little girl was standing in front of me. Because I didn't reach out, the flower drop further down and went to her hands =( If nobody wants me in the next 5 years then it's all her fault. lol.



#24 Bride & groom dancing in the room hehe.


The whole church ceremony ended in 1.5 hours or so. We drove back to the hotel and was also caught in the jam. wtf. When we reached back we had to quickly pack all our things and check out of the hotel and dumped the luggages into the car because after the dinner at night, we have to drive straight back to Johor for the ceremony the next morning.

Dinner photos at the hotel up next!
