Sorry! I'm (quite) Late.

Benjamin & Joanna

Rasa Sentosa, May 29, 2009

So the night before, Edna & I checked into Rasa Sentosa so that we can wake up early to help out on the actual day of the gate crash. Thanks to Ben for giving us a room. It's on him of course. Tsk Tsk. Check out the room! I forgot the room number but our room is located at Level 7. We din get to enjoy the facilities as we checked in the middle of the night after 12am. We had a balcony attached but only realised till the next day during our little afternoon break. This is NOT a Deluxe Suite. Room 856 belongs to the bride.

We were so hungry and there was NOTHING on the island that we could purchase. Haha.. Contemplating for quite a while before we decided to order the Room Service. The Club Sandwich that cost Ben S$20 ++.. oops! Sorry Ben, we were really very hungry. The fries are chunky and delicious. Then off to bed we went with a sheet mask on both our face at 3am? (:

On the actual day, Edna & I woke up late! We woke at 6am after receiving a morning call from the bride. We rush to shower, make up and dress up before popping to Room 856 for the gate crash. So the night before, we had decided how to tease Ben and his brothers. We came up with 4 stages:

(1) A Wakeup Drink - Raw Egg with Coffee (Egg complimentary from the Hotel) *Compulsory

(2) Using the boys' leg hair to form Joanna's name. We wanted to see them in PAIN but they were quite smart to use their falling hair but shaking their head.. zzzzz

(3) Ben to Choose Joanna's Fav Bra

(4) Ben to shout out loud what he loves about Joanna

And after playing for 45 minutes, they finally get to see each other. The bride made Ben promise a list before she allows him to remove the veil. Fierce bride.. haa

Back at home.

The Tea Ceremony

After the Tea Ceremony, We went back to Sentosa for the other Tea Ceremony from the Bride's side. Then we had 2 hour break before the dinner. Edna, Daryl and I decided to check out the balcony and we took some pictures. Thanks to Daryl for such wonderful shots.

The Uncles Playing Around On Stage

The week before the wedding I was still holidaying in UK, I was not prepared for anything. Not even knowing that I would be the MC at the Wedding Dinner. On this special occassion, I am glad that I could be part of the whole wedding. I could see that a wedding can be soo tiring. But many times, I felt the happiness and the love from the couple. There was an urge to settle down! Haa.. I was touched by the wedding. But It is really tiring, rushing from one place to another. Changing outfit. Changing Role. I am proud to be part of this special event.

And No, I will not have a Wedding Dinner. A little garden is all I need. With lovely friends and family members being there to witness my special day with my special one. We would dine, laugh, giggle, drink and dance under the stars together in a small little garden. No pre-take photos, no fancy videos. A photographer to capture the real happiness of the event with the actual blessing from the guests. I love Real Life Shots. (:

Love, sab
