4 more days to go and it will be my youngest brother in law – Terence and his wife to be – Cherry Wedding Day.
We are all very excited as we are into the final leg of the week. Yesterday, Terence and Cherry arranged with the hotel to have a march in rehearsal for the actual day.
Terence had requested for Anthea to be there for the rehearsal which I agreed to. Being a “花妈” for the 1st time, I am also excited and want to ensure that Anthea can accomplish her task. So I took ½ day off to meet them at the hotel to preview the rehearsal.
My Mil is on leave and Adrian also claimed his off day for logistic support. In the afternoon, they went to the hotel to have buffet lunch as my MIL has lunch vouchers. After work, I met them at Plaza Singapore as Terence and Cherry needed to get the stuff for the flower basket. We went Spotlight and Daiso to shop for the DIY stuff. Luckily, we can find all the material required.
We went back to the hotel at 3pm to meet with the Banquet Manager. She brought us to the Ballroom and gave us an introduction to the layout. Then after that, the rehearsal for the march in started. Cherry’s father was there too as Cherry wanted her dad to walk her down the aisle before handling her off to Terence.
As a flower girl, Anthea responsibility was to walk in before the bride and her dad. She will also scatter rose’s petals as she walk down the aisle. So during the rehearsal, we need to pace Anthea steps so that she is within the timing of the music. After rehearsing for a few times, she managed to grasp the steps and petals throwing and it went quite well. Both Terence and Cherry were satisfied with her performance..Phew!! What a relief it was to me.
My 2nd BIL and his wife – Louis & Eve also came by to the hotel to give their moral support. Like I say, it is a BIG Family affair… :)
In the evening, we met up for dinner with the extended families for Clay pot rice, a treat from Terence for our effort. After dinner, we went back to my PIL’s house. Adrian has been tasked a reception for the relatives and he called himself the “Specialist”. He did an “audit check” with my PIL on the relatives’ guests list as he wanted to match faces to names. As he went through the list, he discovered a few missing “usual wedding dinner relatives” and highlighted to my PIL. Then after some scrabbling, then it was confirmed that the relatives were invited for the wedding but missing from the guests list. So immediately, our Specialist went through the whole list and did all the sorting accordingly. One of the 2 reserve tables is now being utilized.
Luckily, the Specialist did his check, otherwise, if we discovered on the day itself, it will be quite embarrassing and also caused chaos to the arrangement.
It has been a tiring but very fruitful day for us and most important the agenda has been finalized and we are all set & ready for the day.
