Wedding: Getting Ready!

Good Morning Peeps,
My alarm rang at 7am, and no one woke up... Jasmine's alarm rang and went directly into snooze mode. Room Service came by with Sara's order of the fruit platter, thanks to warner bro's. Finally, Amy and I got ready and I took her down to enjoy her breakfast buffet at the hotel. Sara, headed out to a regular taiwanese breakfast place to buy us breakfast!

Our Make-up & her assistants came by before 8am, and Jasmine finally got out of bed! Bridesmaid #1, hardworking Sara, busy writing her speech!
Bridesmaid #2: check out her beautiful eyesAlmost ready, and I simply couldn't resist my morning cup of tea! U of M, Martha Cookies reunite, toast to 10 years of friendship! It is memorable staying overnight with the girls the night before the wedding, athough, most of us didn't sleep well. Good make-up did it all :D
what is P2oodle: Qiuqiu doing at the hotel? She was smuggled into the hotel... to keep me company, as I wait nervously for Cliff and his groomsmen to arrive.

The day after...

Our day after the wedding was spent with friends from overseas~! Woke up early to pack up, had an early breakfast, brainstormed how I can contact friends from overseas to meet up for lunch. As Chiho stayed at Agora hotel the night before, we met up at our living room and had a short chat. Did some packing and checked out by noon~

Off to lunch with Amy from LA, Tania from HK, Chiho from JapanYogurt Art to followAll refreshed after our foot massage!we headed right to the bridal studio, returned the dresses, suit, veil...etc and picked up Yae at her hotel & headed home for dinner with my family~~before dinner bells ring, Yae surprised us with our wedding gifts! It's on Cliff now, and a frog is in my hands, hohohoTania's turn to present her giftCheers to my grandparents & their hospitality~!

1 wk before the wedding~Bridal Shower

Thanks to Sara, Jasmine & Amy for all the lovely planning~ started my day with facial, followed by pedicure with the martha cookies, as we sat in a row, sipping our drinks, as we caught up with each other. We forgot to bring flip flops to wear after the pedicure, and we'll decided to weat the paper slippers, and hopped into a cab immediately.

Jolene and our cute flower girl arrived early Galerie Bistro, as we waited for the rest of our guests, Yinchen & Sunny. I had to wear a *bling* crown on my head all night... even when i headed to the restroom. I was surprised when everyone took turns handing me presents! I opened them one by one, and loved everyone one of them~! Some gifts caught me by a HUGE SURPRISE, and some were perfectly cute, with meaningful thoughts behind :)
Headed to Jasmine's place, as she took care of Mantou's physical needs and drove us to Beitou for a night out at Pacific Hot springs! It was almost midnight when we arrived at the hotel and right after we settled in with getting bedspread on the tatami, all of us took turns going in to the hot bath, one after another. 4 girls in 1 small bath, as we gossiped non-stop till almost 1.30am. Time to snooze, wake up for breakfast at 8am & outdoor hot springs!

Day before the wedding

It was my day off, and I was expecting an easy/ relaxing day, but it didnt turn out that way. Early morning was filled with bank errands, lunch at home, praying to ancestors. Cliff came by and picked up our bride & groom wedding favors with Kevin. I rushed off in a cab to Sherwood hotel, as I was late meeting the florist for to pick up bridesmaids bouquets. Was nagged by the florist for being late..... and finally checked in to suite #918. Reminded the hotel for our champagne, as part of our package since we held our engagement last Nov.

Dress Fitting appointment at the Bridal studio was at 3pm, and we were running late! It also took us 2.5 hours for the fitting and dresses to be tailored..

5.30pm: Late for our rehearsal at Gracehill, and it was very cozy at the back of our seats with the girls, dresses & wedding favors.Rehearsal at the Chapel~ with cliff removing the veilOur group dance rehearsal and dinner did not happen either.. as i was simply too tired..

Amy and I had sandwiches @ Smith & Hsu around the corner and came back to the hotel room, surprised with chocolate/cookies/champage platter~!As I was just going to enjoy our night at the hotel with the girls, my parents came to visit and took me home.. as grandpa wanted to have a talk with me. We didn't sleep 1am that night, and woke up in between the night! *yawn*
Isn't it too difficult to have a good night's sleep before the wedding day?
