Hello everyone! Welcome back!
It's now Sept, how's everyone's August?
I was planned to blog this post in the August, but regret that there were so many other posts that tied up my schedule.
So, it has been delayed until now. #sosorry
Anyway, I hope I didn't make you wait for it too long, and today I am going to write about the traditional tea ceremony on my wedding day.
So, shall we begin now?



I got my beautiful gown from the Makeup Artist Gelly Wee.
If you want to know about my wedding gown selection, you can read the post at here.



I'm not a high heel person, you hardly find a pair of high heel inside my wardrobe, so it really took me a while to think about the right high heel suits me best for my wedding.
At last, I decided to go with my sneaker heel which makes me feel more relax and comfortable throughout the ceremony.







Jade came on time on that morning, whereby she arrived at 5 sharp in the morning.
I wasn't convince that the whole makeup process needs at least 2 hours, but Jade was right that we actually took more than 2 hours to get everything done.
For my wedding makeup and hairdo, you can read at the post here.









Some of my solo pictures taken by the De Art Studio.
I will make a separate post regarding the photographer and videographer I used on my actual wedding day, so please stay tuned ya :)





The heartwarming moment with my daddy and mummy.



Thank you my sister-in-low, Wendy who handmade this lovely wedding banquet for me! #beautiful

All getting ready to the bride's house.





My parents looked very happy to see Lik! #hehe





Lik with his groomsman getting ready for the door games.







The first door game was the Yoga Pose.
Bridesmaids had photos of certain poses, and get Aison, my friend from Hong Kong to demonstrate for the groomsman.
Aison, great job!







Then all groomsman follow and hold the same pose for 5 seconds at least.
That's pretty easy huh!





Second game was Q&A "how much you understand about Ivy"?
Till now, I didn't even know how many questions Lik got it right!



Darling Nicole from Singapore ♥♥♥





Third game was Declaration of Love.
Lik has to prepared a romantic message to me in the form of love letter.
Muacksss!



And, time to give the ang paos!

I was so excited to see everyone when I went downstairs.

Tea ceremony is one of the most meaningful culture for a Chinese wedding.
During the ceremony, we are formally introduced to each other's family members and serve tea as a sign of respect.
Here's the tea ceremony at my house.
