Have a Blissful and Happy Marriage, my dear friend

Today is finally the day. My girlfriend of 15 years, is finally getting married, after 12 years of dating. 要幸福快乐哦。Chosen today specifically for the numeric date: 1-3-14, in chinese, 一生一世

I am part of her bridal party. One of the seven 姐妹s. The day started at 7am, at her parents new place in Yishun. The 姐妹s prepared stuff for the groom's 兄弟 to settle at the gate crash. Most of the things had already been prepared by her younger sister.

And finally, the groom cleared all the task given and got to his pretty bride.


After the gatecrash, it's tea ceremony to her parents and we headed to the Seletar Reservoir for a quick outdoor photoshoot.

The place is pretty nice for photoshoot. I did not know of this place until today. When the outdoor photoshoot was completed, we headed for the groom's place for tea ceremony and lunch and we were off for a rest for the second part of the wedding.

After my rest, I kinda got emotional and started chatting in the group chat with my two girlfriends. After so many months of anxious waiting, preparing, nagging (mostly from me), my girlfriend is finally getting married today. And half of the day had already passed by successfully. Just another half to go. 嫁人了。为人妻了。要幸福。要快乐。事事都要为这个新家为优先。幸福的家是由两个人一起携手建造的。

The couple's wedding dinner is held at Peony Jade Clarke Quay. The restaurant is on the second level and they have this super retro lift. Cute in a way.


The both of us helped the bride into her evening gown for the second march in. A very pretty bride isn't she.


The day ended at around 11pm. Helped the couple packed up, stayed around to see if there are more stuff to help before leaving. Side note, Hubby and I were trapped in Liang Court carpark for about 30 minutes before we were out of the place. Too many cars trying to leave the building too. Haha..

Early rest for an early long day tomorrow

Prepped. Pretty flowers for tomorrow. Time to sleep. Have to wake up at 5am. Good night everyone.



The Daily Scoop

GF brought me to The Daily Scoop for ice cream and waffle while we discussed a little on her wedding preparations. I never did realise that there is a Clementi Arcade after staying in Clementi for more than 20 years. A Cold Storage outlet is there too. 


We had double scoop icecream on waffle at $9.60. A scoop of Lychee Martini and a scoop of Kooki Monster. Delicious. But it wasn't satisfying enough even though the scoops are pretty big. Greedy me. Haha...

Their card is pretty cute. Thick card, good quality too.

Wedding website for Jet & Xinying

Completed a simple wedding website for my gf last night. Am pretty proud of it. Nothing really over the top. Just using the trending styles like full image background image, flat UI and social media, to showcase her pretty wedding photos while achieving the aim to relay information on her wedding dinner.

Most of the photos are taken from unsplash.com, a site with free to use hires images. Will be adding more of her wedding photos when she gets her hands on them. (PS she just finished her photoshoot last Tuesday)

Homepage. Focus is on the slideshow of the three wedding photos that she currently have.


RSVP. I did this form using a Google Form. Here's the tutorial that is pretty useful http://morning.am/tutorials/how-to-style-google-forms/.


Venue. So wanted to do a full screen map. And there we have it.


Feeds. Social media is trending. So why not make use of it to collect all the well wishes and photos taken for this wedding? A page with feeds from Instagram and Twitter with the hashtag #jetxywedding.


Ohh.. I initially wanted to do a wordpress site or make use of the Dropbox hosting. But the problems faced for WP is that I do not have an existing domain or hosting and for Dropbox, I used up my bandwidth while doing my testing on the third browser. AMAZING huh... So I had resorted to a simple static website, on a free host, with all the free tools like the Google form, social media widgets, jQuery for the cool slideshows and my 3 days effort.

Hopefully my gf likes it.
