Belated Post: My Solemnization 090909

Well, as mentioned in my previous post, I am going to have quite a few belated posts upcoming. I just finished sorting out all my photos because I like to use a different cameras for different occasion. When I scuba dive, I use Fuji and Canon G10. On some days when I go out, I like to bring G10 otherwise DSLR. So, I ended up having photos everywhere.

Anyway, my solemnization took place in 090909 at New Creation Church for family members only. And now looking at the photos, it conjured many lovely memories. And some memories stressful ones. If I could do this again, I'll hire a helper.

The night before, I was at the florist quarrelling with the staff because they ordered the wrong flowers for my hand bouquet and hairdo but still called to confirm a day before. I was so upset with the wrong flowers so baby took me to Auntie Kim for dinner to appease me. Thank God to Marilyn, my hairdo was settled. But I had not found my shoes. So, I made a last minute dash to find my shoes. Yes. On my solemnization day.

In the end, I settled for a pair of white patent peep toes heels from Guess. By the time I reached the studio, I was exhausted and a bit late. So, I simply sank into my chair and let Marilyn do her work.

The make up began but ended late too. Then Baby, Susan and I rushed down to the church with our phones ringing a lot because our guests had arrived but we had not. They also could not recognise the church coordinator. So, Baby had to do a rally style driving.

I was so relieved when we reached the church. Seeing the wedding coordinator eased the stress because from us. Baby and I indulged in the blessings from our family members. And up to that point, we did not think about the music. So, we used a piece from the church.

Kinda' chaotic because we really did not prepare very well for it.

Finally, the moments arrived for Dad to walk me in. Dad and I had a talk outside and I almost teared from his touching words. From then on, the whole process was very smooth and kinda' emotional in the beginning. But it ended well and I was officially Mrs Teng.

Some photos for view.
