The greatest day in my life.
Well in more accurate, it was the greatest-est day in Peter's life ! It's his big day !!
"JUST MARRIED"
Congratulation! Peter and Jaclyn have finally tied the knot!
On the other hand, daddy and mommy successfully putting one of their children into another stage of life !
How great was that having a never-leave-you-behind-partner to share our life with! No one could really answer this, not until they have experienced it by themselves. I have always wished that I could be one of those. Doing stuffs together, sharing thoughts, concerning each other and enjoy every minute while we could still breath and until the death tear us apart. :)
Can I be the one of the lucky ones?
Anyway!
Let's talk about the wedding :)
The weather was pretty nice.
Everybody woke up early to make sure everything was up to the time. Timing is something that we cannot mess around when it comes to religious and superstitious matters. It is a huge responsibility.
For instant, the ritual procedures, the words that need to be said by the person who in-charge of the ceremony, the arrangements of the altar, the tea ceremony and etc.
All these was to make sure we did not break certain rules and to avoid "Ti Gong"( Sky God) and "Zo Xin"( Ancestor) to feel "unsatisfied". It is believed that if we did something unpleasant in front of "them", the newly-wed couple would not get blessing in their marriage.
Therefore on this morning, every single instruction was followed accordingly. From preparing the praying stuffs, arranging the tables and chairs, tidying the home to deciding who will open the door for the bride and etc.!
Such warm and beautiful.
Daddy, 7th uncle, mommy, my third brother and 6th aunt !
Introducing you my eldest brother - John ! ;)
The beautiful flower-decorated car.
My daddy. ;)
I was so glad that everybody was giving their helping hands.
I was glad? yes glad because I could do lesser thing ! LOL ~
I guessed my job was stay accompanied with my college friend (more to sister now)- Alyssa.
This is the first time she came to town.
She is such a sweet person that the fact that she agreed to join my brother's wedding hit me so strong. If it wasn't her, I would be able to attend my brother's wedding as we both would have our first paper in the next Monday morning.
Still she voluntarily to send me back and forth between cities, she is fabulous!
Well, guess who was the happiest person?
Of course lah UNCLE TONY !
Here's my parents and Prince Of The Day !
According to the tradition, parents need to help the groom to put on his suit and the boutonniere.
What would be the most fun stuff to do?
YAA! The challenges given by the bride's !
It was time for the groom and his team went to the bride's house!
Check on the pictures to see their green faces !
Yeah you saw it right.
Groom's team was meant to be "bullied" by the maids of honor or sisters or any of her female friends! The boy's team would be asked to fulfill every single request asked by sisters.
The purpose of this game was to make the groom to realize that how precious the bride is. That he had to go through a few of challenges/ level to reach the destination ( see the bride/ open the door of the bride).
Nowadays, the challenges will be done by the groom's buddies as to protect the handsomeness of the groom on that day.
"Brother-spirit" they said!
Tradition: The youngest boy in the house will be asked to open the door for the bride.
#He is my beloved boy !

The Banquet
There you go ! "Let the feast begin!"
We were such a good team in doing this !
I was so happy and touching when I saw them cooperating nicely to register every single guest ! ;)
This was the moment they had been waiting for years!
Nexttt!!! :p
He is the best singer I ever see my life! (Daddy Tony ! I bet you will definitely fall in love with him when he starts singing ! )
Group photos time!
I had been listening to a lot of my friends ( other races ) talked about "yamseng !"
So, this is how "yamseng!" would look like !Feel the mood !
It's time to say goodbye. At the end of the feast, dad, mom and also the newly-wed couple were standing outside the hall to farewell every guest. We were so glad that they made it to attend the dinner. Some of them were living so far away from us and they were willing to drive to Triang just to turn up for my brother's wedding. I love you !
All I wanna say is, " I LOVE YOU!"
