It has been a month since Sae Wei’s and FireWire’s (yes that’s his real name LOL) wedding and finally i have time to write about it. I was told to hold on before writing but the fact that my entries are all backlogged, it didn’t really matter

William and i drove from Cyberjaya towards PJ to fetch Angeline and Evelyn before heading over to Wangsa Maju where we met up with Aaron and Daniel

We were there quite early, so early that we had breakfast at a nearby coffee shop ala Old Kopitiam. After forty odd minutes, we were told that Firewire was on his way to pick Sae Wei. So we gathered at Sae Wei’s place and waited

Before we left for breakfast, we met up with Sae Wei. She had a few people doing her make up when we reached. As usual those with cameras starting snapping around. Angeline and Evelyn on the other hand prepared a few obstacles for the bridegroom before he is able to take Sae Wei

Firewire and two of his relatives had to do numerous things before being allowed to be near the door. Nothing comes easy in life He had to eat pau which is filled with wasabi, remove a rubberband from a pail of ice water using his foot, wear stocking and a few more silly things … but somehow one of his aunts sounded us LOL and told to let him through I just love to see the comotion cause by the elder folks

He was eventually allowed get Sae Wei from her room. In the room he was given a final task, which was to say I love You in a few languages. Firewire was so prepared that when he was asked to say it in Thai, he did it without any hesistant Ganas ler

We were then all brought over to Firewire’s place for the tea ceremony

When i reached his place, i quickly switched over to 50mm after realizing the rest were all on their kit lens and i thought of trying to shoot everything with 50mm. It wasn’t easy but most of the picture turned out better than expected. I didn’t have the chance to capture the tea ceremony cause there was just too many people standing in front of me Hung Wei did point out something about the picture above which was try not to include any photographers in the picture LOL

Kids were trying to get to know them so in future angpows could easily be obtained, hahahaha.

William and Daniel

The reason why i couldn’t fit everyone into the picture was because 50mm is a fixed lens and it’s doesn’t zoom out or in. But the main point is to show how cheerful Sae Wei and Firewire are

Sae Wei calling her ex school mates for a picture

Convent Butterworth …

After the tea ceremony, we photographed Sae Wei in her room. William was really in his element and all i did was stand from afar and did some random shots

After like twenty minutes, Sae Wei decided to change her attire …. and so we waited for her

… in the mean time we glanced thru pictures taken before her wedding

William as usual trying to laugh at his own jokes, hahahaha.

After changing, we continue taking pictures of Sae Wei

Again William was in the zone and he started adjusting here and there for perfection

The ladies had other ideas while waiting for Sae Wei to set herself properly

After the photoshoot, we then adjourned for lunch at a Chinese Restaurant which wasn’t far from his house. I barely took any shots there cause i was busy eating. The stage was open to anyone who would like to karoake and a few brave souls just did that, sing …. really respect them

Sae Wei and Firewire, thanks for the invite and both of you have a great marriage life ahead !

P/S: Just got back from Sunway for Charng’s Farewell and i realized everyone had something to talk about either relationship or crushes that they are having and here i am blogging about Sae Wei’s marriage. I too found out not too long back that my Apple Sifu is gonna become a dad soon

P/P/S: Malaysia might have a radical change soon …. Anwar has really spiced up the politics in Malaysia. Never had i being so interested on what’s happening with both parties Is his landslide victory at Permatang Pauh could be the beginning of a new era ?

Wedding photos reaching an all new high

Just yesterday i was reading about David’s entry about his colleague’s wedding dinner and how he was in awe with the wedding photos when the slide show was shown. This past few months, i have noticed quite a number of bloggers posting some of their wedding photos and the ideas some photographers can come out with are really impressive.

Besides spending a bomb on the dinner (which you will be able to cover back from the ang pows and might also make a profit), the next thing couples spend on are photos. Couples nowadays just don’t take photos in front of their house or shopping complexes but you can see them in gardens, forest ? like what David mentioned …

The last time i was in Klang visiting lingster, we went cycling round the man-made pond and there we spotted a couple in their wedding attires, posing for their photographer. The bride had a long long trail and she was dragging it through the grass and i noticed a lot of old ‘aunties’ pointing and laughing. Either they must be saying how ignorant the bride was by wrecking her dress or they could have just giggled because she was their new family member. What ever it is, those were the typical venues you would normally see in a wedding photo but today April Cherrie showed me that wedding photos has gone to an all new high.

As i mentioned earlier about the bride who had to drag her trail through the grass; she eventually reached the pavement and she took some time removing anything that has got stuck to it. Every bride would have done the same thing. It was their precious wedding dress.

Now who in their right mind, would actually thrash their dress ? Well that’s what i thought at first till April Cherrie shared this site where brides thrash their dress for their photoshoot. I have to admit some of the photos are really gorgeous. April Cherrie herself has one good example. Obviously couples would have taken tonnes of pictures before eventually thrashing it at the end.

So why thrash the dress ? (taken from thrashthedress.wordpress.com):

Go ahead, you know you want to. Trash it. Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it.

Why? … Why not? You’ve made a commitment to your husband. He’s your one and only true love, right? Then you’ll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won’t wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices:

1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet
2) Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it!

They really do have a point ! With that extra space in the cupboard, the brides are better off storing all those sexy lingeries than a dress which you are not going to see on you again.

The girls get to thrash the dress and what about the guys ?

A bachelor party ?
