the wedding day though.

I so love this picturethe photographer took this without our notice
natural is the best
candid
ballroom
door-gift for each and every guestsJust like any other wedding dinner that most of you had
attended, after the guests had arrived then the wedding dinner
started off with the walk-in of the
bride && bridegroom only that there's a violinist performing
during the walk-in
Starz bandnothing much about the video below
was just admiring that guy's singing
me and Jayne think he's good
(sorry for the bad quality of my video, no HD)
after a few songs sang by the band and the violinist performedthen next, it was the dad who's turn.....
to sing
awww...daddy got fansimma one of them too
The wedding dinner ended and I follow sis back to her
place to get her clothes as we had already planned to return
back to the hotel and overnight there. But before heading
back to that hotel, sis drove us back to our home.
Some Chinese's event has to be done at home. By tradition,
the bride's hair will be combed by the parents at her place and so
does the bridegroom's too, back at his place. Later that when everything
is done then me and sis headed off, back to the hotel.
The following day, Monday on the 16th of March
that very special day in my sister's life had
finally arrived ; "a union of two people and two hearts for one single lifetime."
said Shauni.
Sis and I woke up at 6 in the morning, got our stuff packed and left the hotel to Blissful, the bridal studio as sis has appointment there for her make-up and hair-do...and of course not forgetting to get her wedding gown from them. As for me, I sat aside, waited for her to be done. I'd no appointment no nothing there but just to accompany the sister. Oh! Did I mention that I was her bridesmaid? 
Later that the both of us return home. Got myself changed, helped the cousins on preparing the games (mentioned in my previous post) for bridegroom, best man and his gang then all of us waited patiently for them to arrive at our place to come fetch the bride

Best man and his group of fellows at the bridegroom'sthat was before coming to our place
the 7 seriesin Penang, it is currently the one and only
above: Bride & Bridegroombelow: Bridesmaid & Best Man
We waited for about half an hour or so and then they finally reached at our place to come fetching the bride, back to the bridegroom's. It's not an easy to task to just come, fetch the bride, and off you go. Well the bridegroom, best man and fellows have to go through some obstacles before getting to meet his bride. So, what about the obstacles? It's easy, the bride will lock herself in her bedroom. To meet the bride, all they need to do is to just play the games (Chinese has this kind of event during marriage esp the Cantonese. I personally don't think that this event is by the tradition and I'm not sure why though that why does this event even exist lol but if you were to watch Hong Kong's olden-days' dramas and Hong Kong's modern-time's drama then you'll know why do I emphasize on the the word Cantonese) that we'd planned earlier. Yep, that's the reason why we having to had a bridesmaid-group meeting. Before the game started the video man and photographer wanted to go in to the bride's room, obviously it's for video recording and photo shooting so of course we (bridesmaid-group who guarding in front of the bedroom door) allow them to but just when we were about to open the door for them, one of whom from best men-group came forward and wanted to go in too, claims that he's from the Kwang Hwa newspaper just because he was holding a DSLR. Very funny 
. Alright, so for the first game:-
Bridegroom, best man and fellows were ask to sing songs for the bride. But how, when they're not suppose to meet the bride before the game's over? So yeah, they have to sing it LOUDLY (shout/yell/scream out the lyrics, we don't care) facing toward the bride's room. An easy task eh? This isn't exactly like how we planned before, they were SUPPOSE to stay out of the house, forming a heart shape together and sing it out loudly on the street but sadly this plan was cross out in the end. Thanks to that old woman.
As for the second game, it was another easy task too, answering questions it is. The group of men were separated into 2 groups and bridegroom will be standing in the middle between the groups. We (bridesmaid group) will ask questions about the bride, if bridegroom got the answer right then the group of best men on his right will get to taste the food we'd prepare earlier
(sour, sweet, salty, spicy...and more wasabi!) but if he answered wrongly to our questions then the group on his left will be lucky enough to try our oh-so-delicious food 
. Here's the conversation while Pearlyn (eldest cousin and also from the bridesmaid's) separating the best men gang into groups...
Pearlyn *points and busy counting*: one, two, three, four, five this side please...and one more, this side please
the so-called Kwang Hwa reporter cuts in: kong ang mo, ee beh hiao tia. ee Korean lang lai eh (speak in English please, he doesn't understand hokkien. He's a Korean)
Pearlyn continue counting, guess it was too noisy that time for her to even hear him speaking heh! and she goes: hey, you this side please
a guy wearing white, with specs on: I go that side ar? later ask me to come here
a guy wearing blue: come! we all go that side
Tancy (second eldest cousin): okay stop stop stop, enough.
*the guys were too noisy* Pearlyn: Excuses me!
the Korean guy: yes?
another white shirt guy: yes?
and all of the best men goes: yes? *at the same time*
Pearlyn: be patient!
white shirt guy: we're indeed being very patient already
Pearlyn: OKAY! the game is easy *and then she goes on explaining how the second game goes*
The following game which was also our last game for them. Bridegroom will be given a so-called-contract made by us and he will have to read it out loud to the bride (there were different languages, English, Chinese & Japanese. Some sentences were written from left to right and some others will be needed a mirror for reflection to be read). Here's the conversation on bridegroom reading the contract to the bride...
bridegroom *mumbling*. Maybe it's cause of the best men, they were too noisy behind so we could hardly hear him reading
Pearlyn: We cannot hear you, esp the bride in the room. Again please. Starting from the beginning..read it out loud
bridegroom reads: I, Tommy *continues*...will always and forever obeys what's listed on the contract...
the best men-group: wow!!
the blue shirt guy: so...?? return home, think again then consider on whether to come back or not, tomorrow? *everyone laughs*
bridegroom *smiles and answer back*: won't be coming back tomorrow *continues on reading his contract but halfway through it, he went all "uhh?" wondering on how to read that sentence*
Canmy (one of my cousins): *handed him a small mirror* alright, we'll lend you a mirror to read it
bridegroom reads: whenever Eunice shopping I should always accompany her and...
the so-called Kwang Hwa reporter guy cuts in: think properly before you promise to do that. Your legs will be aching want lor I tell you *everyone laughs at what he just said*
Pearlyn: and? and what?
bridegroom: and pay whatever she buys.
best men-group goes: WOW!
bridegroom continues: whatever belongs to mine, also belongs to her too but whatever belongs to her will only be her's *everyone laughs again*
bridegroom: finance will be handled by her and I'll responsible for all the payments.
the so-called Kwang Hwa reporter *noticed something and telling the bridegroom*: look, you're in big trouble. The bridesmaid are recording on what you're reading with their phone for prove next time
bridegroom: HEY! *laughing and covering his face with the piece of contract-paper*
some of the best-men: come, we help you to cover your face *using their paper fan*
bridegroom *back to his contract-reading*: Boku wa maitoshi Eunice..to issho ni...ryokou shimasu. (I will travel together with Eunice every year)
Linda (one of the cousin): there's English translation below but you read the Japanese instead LOL

We'd actually planned more than that but due to some reasons and the lack of time being so yeah some games will have to be canceled. But over all, we had fun and dang! the best men gang sure are one noisy bunch of guys, they will never shut up. I laughed so hard seeing how they argued on one of the questions we asked, funny la my God LOL.
