An update

Wow. Its been a while. Much has happened. But first to other brides out there...

Chinese Qun Kwa. - I know girls are looking for these to rent and the elusive Captiol theatre address is HERE!

There are many forms of chinese traditional dress. If you saw all the kids carrying the China flag in the opening ceremony, you can see that theres more than just the staple Cheung Sam.

Kun Qwas are very traditional, and they are useful to wear in Tea Ceremonys. Not only do you look stunning in red with glittering golden/silver thread, you wont be showing all your goods (clevage) to your elders as you ask them to bless your marriage!

Sandy is lovely, and they have many different sorts of Qun Kwa, as well as Western Ballgowns Mother of the Bride Dresses and Wedding gowns to choose from. On top of that they do hair and makeup, photography, car hire, celebrant infact they do the LOT.

The downside was that they didnt have one my size (im a size 16/18) I have a small waist, but my bust is bigger than the average china girl. so I miss out :(

Dramatic Chinese Music

I bought a wedding music album last night. Perfect Autumn Wedding CD Yeah.ok. WeddingInWinter. but It was on Special. I needed it because I'm still trying to pick bridal prcessional music! I would like to have something unique. I've already posted the proposition of Carl Orff - O Fortuna and Bach - Fugue. So much Fun! *grin*

But then I thought what would the chinese use? The first song that comes to mind starts with "Loong Bun! " Loong Lau"...

With the Power of google, the song is called "Shang Hai Tan", and it was famous around the time of Roman Tam, who is a famous male opera singer of Hong Kong and has done many songs that are opening themes of famous classical TVB chinese series. Hehehe Hope you know where im heading with this *grin*

So here are a list of Dramatic Chinese Songs that we could walk down the aisle to. There is the formentioned 上海灘 and then there is 小李飛刀 or even 铁血丹心 ! Arent they great! Ahh! sure bring back memories!

Edmund popped his head out of his room just as i was listening to these songs. I asked what his opinion was if we used these sort of songs to walk down the asile to... His reply was "If you use these songs, we can wire you up so you can fly down the asile!" Why not? Lol! If you want drama baby! Let's go the full hog! So Picture this.

The Attack of the Clones

A pair of these are going on each table...
As a group however they are quite impressive

Stupid Question...

My wedding bands, I haven't really gone on much about them so here's a brief description. They are knife edged rings, with 5 little diamonds set evenly on the ridge. Made with 18K Whitegold, there are 2 of them so i can wear it one or be totally outrageous and wear both on either side of the ring.
Pricewise they were originally something outrageous, but thanks to being in Chinatown and with the help of a GREAT negotiator, I got them at a pretty nice price :)

Anyway the funny bit was when I picked up the rings yesterday... the sales guy(low-watt variety), recognised me and brought out the rings for me to try. I was happy and told him so, then he asked if I wanted to wear them now...

Derrrrr!

The Guest List that keeps growing

Note to all future brides.

Do not let your parents out of the country prior to your wedding... you may end up with more guests than you had otherwise planned.

Not that I really mind... Most of the people that are coming are old waiters and waitresses and kitchen hands that worked for Mum and Dad, and hence I grew up with them as older siblings.

I suppose it shows how well regarding my parents are, and how many Malaysian and Singaporean Students they have raised over the 20+ years in Hobart.

But at this rate Sydney will need to prepare for a population boost in August 09.

Extra Guests: 14

Celebrant - Lillian Lyons

We got in contact with the celebrant! Lillian married Lulu and Denzil and I found her very nice and relaxing to chat with.

Now I have more information I need to talk to Steph to see what he wants.

She needs a $200 deposit to be secured for the date. but need to confirm with Mum about Uncle Jacob
