Start Of The Day
The day started off quite well... No stress, no panick... Gave BH a wake up call at around 8.30am before I left the house and reminded him to bring the rings...

Preparation & Makeup
I reached the bridal shop punctual, at 9.00am. Sammi (my makeup artist) started putting on my makeup straight away... and complete at around 10.00am... Ken (BH's colleague) fetched BH & parents and they reached the bridal shop at around 9.45am... While I change into my dress, Sammi proceeded with styling BH's hair...

Mummy had appointment with the hair salon at 10.00am to set her hair and it took about 30 minutes...

The Journey
My family was on the way to the bridal shop at around 10.40am... They reached at about 10.55am and off we all go... BH & parents took Ken's car, and I took my daddy's car...
Daddy started to get a little panicky and worried that we will be late... There was heavy traffic at the expressway... And I started to feel stressed... But I tried to calm my daddy down by telling him that it's ok that we reach there at about 11.45am... Luckily the heavy traffic cleared and we had managed to reach at around 11.30am...

Photographer
Thomas (BH's buddy) reached the ROM venue at about 11.00am to check the venue out and to prepare himself for photo-taking...

Before Solemnization
At around 11.45am, guests started to arrive... BH & myself were busy welcoming our guests and leading them into the room... Almost everyone was here by 12.15pm... And our Solemnizer (Mr Wilson Song) arrived too... We proceeded to a room for a short briefing by Wilson on the procedures...

Highlight of the Day
At about 12.35pm, BH & I gave the cue to Evelyn to start... The SDS staff assisted us to play the march-in song... And we marched-in as slow as we can (instruction given by Wilson)... And smiled as we walked in... haha... Both of us were quite nervous during the march-in lah...

We reached our seats (finally!!! Took forever.. HAHA..) and Wilson proceeded with the solemnisation...

Photo Taking & Lunch Reception
After Wilson pronounced us as 'Man & Wife', we proceeded with photo-taking... Thereafter, everyone started to proceed for the lunch reception...

End of the Event
At about 2.00pm, guests started to leave... By 2.30pm, the only people left in the room were my family and Thomas... We packed our stuff and started to leave off too...

Tiring day... but it was an exciting and fun one too... An experience of a lifetime...
