I can't believe its over and we're Mr & Mrs Lai :)

 

Its been an overwhelming few weeks.  The wedding was lovely (more on that later with pictures) - we both had a lot of fun and hope that everyone did too. We went on a lovely honeymoon and stayed at the Uma Ubud in Bali which was a really really nice break - will show u all pictures soon!

 

But where there is laughter there is also tears.  My Granpa (Kung Kung) passed away peacefully on June 20th. He was 82.  He was wheelchair ridden and already quite weak but he held on to see us get married.  I'm the eldest grandchild and the first to get married.  It meant alot to us. He was a loving grandpa and we will miss him dearly.

 

So now we have to try and get things back to normal and reminisce the good times.

Pictures to come soon!

 

Keep posted here!

It didnt seem that long ago, when Wei's msn nic was countingdown the days and we still had 100+ days to go. Now we are down to just 8 days. Where did the time go?

 

So much still needs to be done its all getting very blurry. This Sunday i will be going round with a liitle entourage of my best men and traditional match maker (My Aunt), to bring gifts for Wei family. This is the start of it all.

 

Haha, and now i'm looking at the screen and thinkng in my head of all the things that have to take place between now and next saturday and am wondering, where do i start. There's logistics, reception entertainment, beer runs to the border to stock up. overseas friends put up, clothes sort out , getting the house ready. Hmmm maybe there's not too much. Yikes!

 

K back to last day at work before the wedding.

Unfortunately we have heard of some complicatins with our invites. Either with conflicting dates, or confusion with the text. If there is something your confused about with regard to the invites then please do get in touch with us.

Hope to hear from you and see you soon.

This is as good a time as any to give a little shout out to our awesome friends that have rolled up their sleeves and helped us immeasurably.

 

All the dirty work in getting these invites out is in no small part down to the super efficient SW Team. Made up of Tina, Bryan, Bev, Daryl, Fadz, Ching and Yuin (not to mention many more people helping on the fringes!). Over a 4 day stretch they managed to turn my bachelor pad (days are counting down for this too - sigh, haha) into "Wedding HQ" . Once we received the invites from the printers (lots of drama)  all the cutting, sticking, writing, additional programs had to be done to ensure we could get them out soon enough to give people notice. Lots of late nights, laughter and cackling ensued. Gee are we going to miss this!

 

For the most part i tried to stay out of the way, Especially from fadz, who's eye for quality control always landed me in trouble.Was back in 2nd grade all over again. Sorry cher!

 

Now that the drama of the invites is pretty much over, the next item on the agenda for the super duper SW Team, wil be the reception dinner entertainment.  I am worried, very worried. Obviously its best not to give to much away, and I have to admit i'm pretty much in the dark with some bits of it, but i am very sure it will be memorable. haha...

Its all getting very exciting. Some of the Sidcotians Alex and Karen arrive this Friday and will go on a little Borneo adventure before coming to the wedding. Shapiwe, Elliott, Bennet, will be here on or around the 2nd June in time for the mayhem. Am waiting for confrimation from Matt and Angus, am really hoping they will make it. Dont forget your clubs Gus.

 

Owen, Ann and Olly from Cheltenham daze arrive on the 30th May following a trip down under to oz. Will have to immerse them in some Brunei Culture in the lead up to the wedding. Will likely include, the beer run to kl, durian and chickens feet. Hope you guys have strong stomachs.

 

As previously posted by Wei, our invites are finally here, after much drama.  We have started sending them out. Their will be an e-invite too as we dont have so many of the hard copy ones.

 

Wedding fever is hotting up in Brunei. Wei's aunt got hitched 2 weeks ago, and one of my cousins married a friend of mine the weekend just gone. There are two more weddings of firends after ours in June. Its bordering on an epedemic. When will it all end? haha.

 

Anyways I cant wait to see all you guys that i haven't seen in ages. I'll stop now before I get to carried away.

The fabulous Team SW is frantically getting all the invites addressed, labelled and put into plastic.  We will aim to get most of the invites sent out this weekend!

 

Please RSVP at the numbers on the card.  We look forward to hearing from you!

 

Countdown : 23 days

PS. If you would like to get us something for the new house, we have a compiled a list which can be obtained from the sister of bride at annmarie_liew@hotmail.com.

Yup, in one months time we will be officially married. Off the shelves, off the market, past the point of no return. Cant wait! :-)

 

If its possible, Brunei actually feels hotter than usual. Could just be from the friction from the increasing rate at which my brow furrows, or the heat threatening to be unleashed by wei's alter ego "bridezilla" if someone (likely to be me, but could be flourist, card company, venue etc) drops the ball. In either case, for those of you coming from colder climates, dont forget your sunscreen.

 

Reminds me of the Baz Luhrman track about sunscreen.

 

But I digress.

 

On the wedding front Wei is working away like a little trooper making sure everything is arranged and orgainsed, its a bit like a miltary operation with targets, special teams, and  the like. We are expecting our invites soon both pysical and in email form. We shuold be getting them out in the coming week or so. 

 

Cant wait to see all of you guys that are travelling in for the wedding. For some its been years and years and years. It will be very much meeting of different worlds and i cant wait to see you all in Brunei.
