Finally I have the time to finish this long overdue post! And I’ve gotten the official pictures from the official photographer of the night – LetThereBeLight.com.sg. So be prepared for an overload of photos!

25th April 2009

The big day for Kieng arrived.

I’ve never been a jie mei for anybody as yet. So although this was my first time, I knew it was critical for us 6 girls to arrive early for the jie xin niang routine. We were over at the bride’s place around 730am as she was getting hair and makeup done.

While she was getting ready, we cam-whore and fill our tummies as Kobe, Kieng’s beautiful golden retriver looks on.

Soon the blushing bride is ready!

And we all clamour for a picture with her. Even Kobe!

The bride and her entourage of 6 jie meis. The colour scheme for the day was green.

Soon enough, the groom arrives. And it’s customary for a little boy to open the door. So cute! Same pose as his daddy. Haha!

The jie meis get to work holding the fort bargaining with the guys. Kieng’s sister is chief negotiator and Kobe is on our side too!

But we were nice and provided breakfast for the guys first: sausage chilli and bitter gourd muffin coupled with lemonade! Muahahahaha!

After which we decided they had to wax their legs if they wanted to gain access.

Of course we werent going to let them off so easily. There was a dance segment and a makeup segment where the boys had to be dolled up with lipstick.

Bangra dance anyone?

And finally, after almost an hour, they charged in because someone had gotten hold of the key! But not before we block the door of the entrance to the bride’s room and they tried to shoot us with a super soaker. LOL.

Of course, we cleverly hid behind the groom and used him as a human shield. HAHAHA.

And when we let him pass, he had to sign one last contract before he gets the girl.

Say awwwwwwwww….

After the excitement of the morning, we move on to the customary tea-drinking ceremony at the groom’s place first.

Group picture!

To the bride’s house after she changes.

Off we go! I really like this picture. Very vintage.

Offering tea to her parents.

Happy parents.

It wasnt till almost 1 plus that we left for home to get ready for the wedding dinner that night. One last group picture before we adjourned and meet again later.

Phew think I’ll keep the wedding dinner for another post.
