What a lovely couple of Joan's sister and brother in law, Ivan & Helen. Joan and I were going back 2 days before their wedding day to help a little and prepared for their big day. Wedding day held on 12th of December 09, what a remarkable date to remember their anniversary later year. Well reaching Alor Star almost 7.30 pm at Ivan's house to fetch Helen and manage to take few shots of their new room.
Later that night, me and Joan were busy creating the movie slide show of their wedding photos for the use of wedding dinner later. Here's the result
Night before their wedding day, Joan's family was having a small buffet dinner or wedding feast at the car porch for the soon to be bride's relatives and friends. This could be their culture in Alor Star cause i didn't see any of this at my hometown only wedding diner at that particular day.
Continue with the making of chinese dumpling call "汤圆". Its for the bridegroom and bride the next day when the bridegroom come and fetch the bride.
Here comes the day of their big day, the bride , Helen had woke up early in the morning. I think most of the bride can't sleep well the day before their wedding day. So by the time waiting for the pro photographer coming, i had taken some shots during her make up sessio
n.Now's the turn of the bride's mate make up, check up the outcomes.
Make up dones, so we gottta prepare the stuffs for the game later. Games are for bridegroom and his brothers team before they step in to the place where the bride stay. Normaly these kind of games are some torturing games, lucky i'm not one of the brothers. Games prepared are drinking super bitter tea, wasabi bread, and let the picture do the talking as shown.
Around 11.30 am, here comes the bridegroom, Ivan and his brothers,
By the time they arrived, sisters were all well prepared, and show time... I got few video clips of them while toturing the brothers but forget it due to too shaky video.Photos can do the talking as well, enjoy.
And finally brothers managed to finished all the task given by the sisters, So just one final step before Ivan can get Helen, again sisters ask him to sing and not forget about "ang pao" too. Same old school tricks for chinese, let's say just make it simple, come and straight away go to the bride and tell her "i love you" let's go! Going to airport and ready for 6 months honey moon, I like this way better. Just a sudden thought appeared in my head. Well, back to the story, so after
success geting bride out from the room, what next? Bridegroom and bride gotta start giving tea, it's a chinese culture showing of respect to the elderly and then the elderly will give"ang pao" or gold bracelet as return. And later the young one like kids or their younger relatives will say something nice to the bridgroom and bride, in return younger one will receive "ang pao" from them.
As usual, once finished the traditional ceremony during daytime, one last occassion for the newly married couple, wedding dinner. Didn't take much photos during this session, anyway will still share some of the pics. Finally i truely wish both of you a very happy wedding, love each other, help each other and stay an endless love. God Bless!
