Congrats to Yongquan & Peiqing! It was their big day last sat. After all the preparations, we are all glad that everything went well.

Woke up at 5am, reached Peiqing's place at 6.40am. I thought I'll be the 1st jie mei to reach but Yifang beat me to it. Peiqing passed us our hairbands & hand corsages. Her make up artist came soon after & dad is on action, started videoing the activities we had in the morning. The 4 jie meis arrived & we started to plan our "tekaning of groom" process. Horns were heard at 7.30am. Everyone on standby, ready to welcome the groom.

I would say that we were easy on the groom & 兄弟s. For the 1st task, they were asked to do were to use their toes to take out the tiles to form 大四喜 from a pail filled with ice & water(freaking cold). 2nd task, we were so kind & nice enough to let them have something cold to eat/drink since they were all sweating. We gave them 4 different flavours of ice cream specially made by us. Ice cream 1 (Vinegar + Lemon). Ice cream 2 (Rose Syrup + Ribena). Ice cream 3 (Bittergourd Juice). Ice cream 4 (Wasabi & Chilli Padi). As expected, they only ate half & threw away the other half. We did't have much time to play & ask for more ang paos, so we let them in at 8am. They thought it was over but just before he can see his bride, Yongquan was asked to read out a love contract in german (he has no idea how to read in german). In order to let him understand what he had read (he needs to know cause he has to make sure he keeps his promise), we made him read the same contract but in english, loud & clear for everyone to hear. Yonquan finally gets to see Peiqing after he signed the love contract.

As per normal wedding, the couple pray ancestors, tea ceremony & off we go to the groom's place. We were on time & there were still time to spare when we reach there so the couple & jie meis were slacking, chit chatting, enjoying the air con in the room. The weather was a killer. So hot. Jie meis didnt have much things to do over there, so we just sat down, waiting for the tea ceremony to finish & moved on to the couple's new house. Took some shots over there. Next stop was back to bride's home to eat the dessert. Eddie gave the couple a surprise with cupcakes with their name on them. From there, the couple left for their outdoor photoshoot. Jie meis were dismissed.

The timing was very rush. We reached home about 1plus, bathe, make up artist arrived, John & Eddie came to bring the guzheng down to hotel first. Make up artist started on sis & mum first since they need to reach the hotel first to prepare for the guzheng performance. The make up artist spent quite some time on me & I was slightly late when I reach the hotel by 15mins. Everything was such a rush that I lost track of time. Was helping at the reception & all of us didnt know that the dinner was about to start till the couple were on standby.

The couple had the hotel to serve the guests mooncake & with combination of live guzheng performance by sis since it so happens that it was mid autumn festival. Something unique. The first few dishes were alright but when coming towards the end, it started to get quite bad. The dinner ended rather late at about 11pm. While Peiqing was thanking me & hugging me, emotions overwhelmed me & I almost cried. She's one of my closest cousin. So happy that she's happily married, embarking another new journey. We only left the hotel at 12.15am.

Congrats to my dearest 表姐夫 & 表姐!
