Actual Day Preparation - MISC

1. Itinerary

I'm considered a very last minute person, me and Wilson both did not really bother on the itinerary of the actual day events until very last week prior to the event. As I drilled further on the details, I felt goosebumps all over my body. So many things could happen to hinder the event flow! And how much could we plan?

Finally I give the very last touch to this itinerary 3 days before actual day, distributed it to all the related person in charge, i.e. photographer, videographer and friends/family whom are helping out.

2. Wedding Dinner Entertainment

We discussed this over and over again, to hire or not hire wedding live band. We analysed from other friends' wedding dinners, the duration of singing from the live band isn't that long but their charges were sky high. Likely about RM3,000 for a 3 pc band for a 30-40 mins singing. And we realized some live band trying to perform like their concert in weddings and we do not like those. But..If we do not hire, the slot when we are having table to table toasting will be a little dull with only music aired from laptop. Anyway in the end we decided not to hire, and save up the expenses here.

So we compiled a whole folder of songs from different albums to air during the dinner. And I chose Jon Secada & Rebecca Holden's Dreams Come True as our march in song and Perry Como's Magic Moments as our second march in song.

To slot in entertainment during the dinner, I have produced a short montage of our love story inclusive of some childhood photos. It took me quite many months to complete this montage, as I drew a simple cartoon to represent us in the story. All worthwhile I believe.

3. Bridal Car Decoration/ Gown Fitting

The day before actual day, we stormed into the bridal shop in different cars as we will be going back to our own home afterwards. I was late that day, due to delay from my manicure appointment. Poor Wilson waited about 2 hours plus for me at the bridal house. Upon arrival, I had the gown fitting 1 last time before carrying them home for the big day. All fitted well, I did not grow fatter or thinner. Then Wilson took his suit and vest, matched with bow tie and tie. My make up artist, Xiao Yan chose 3 sets of jewelleries matching to my gowns. I loved them so much, they really glows!

Then we had our beloved car decorated into bridal car. Thumbs up to Aspial for the decoration, it's beautiful. Wilson bought a pair of piggies for the front bouquet decoration. It's perfect!

We then headed back our own house awaiting hair combing ceremony that very night. It was really breath taking!!

4. Vanity

That very day before actual day, I went on to do the manicure and pedicure to look perfect on my wedding day. I chose L'mour Nail Expert in Kuchai Lama again (they did for my ROM nails) and I'm very happy with their services. It costed me RM250 for the extension, gel manicure, nail art and the shinny decorative.

As for pedicure, I simply coloured my toe nails gold! To match with both my black and white wedding shoes. All ready for the big day!
