The Big Day has come and gone.
It went by so fast, especially the morning ceremony. And even though I dreaded having to sit still for hours while I got my makeup done twice, and complained about feet that were killing me, it was A Truly Beautiful Day.
But more on that later. This blog entry is dedicated to all those who traveled from near and far to be at my wedding, and to every single lovely soul who helped out in big ways and small. Thank You for sharing our day with us. I wish I could have spent more time with all of you, but know that your presence was really special.
Special thanks to all of you who came from Singapore, especially Dida and Kaye, who helped me climb into my dresses and tugged and puffed trying to zip me into it, and for making me practise my walk before I did it in front of 1000 people. Thanks Nel, for playing (and looking) every bit the professional photographer throughout, I can’t wait to see the pictures. And thanks to the rest of you dear, dear ones, who traveled all the way for just a weekend.
Thanks to all of you from Melbourne who flew in and made us feel Very Special Indeed. And special thanks to Ashley and Angie for singing. There were guests who thought it was a CD, honest.
Thanks to the bestmen/ringbearers, bridesmaids and Chai Yen, who is truly the event manager extraordinaire.
Thanks to Marcus and Charlene who manned our reception table during the dinner, and especially for taking us out to dinner when we were hungry and stuck in the hotel.
Thanks to everyone who sent us texts and cards from abroad, and well, just every single one of you who was there. We love you.
Call me Sophia, even though I am now a missus. Mrs. Ngian is just a little too hard to remember and pronounce. And if you call me “aunty”, I will ignore you.
