The Family and The Reception

Now that I am unbelievably Mrs Barker,compulsary pictures with the new happy family is a requirement,not a want.No matter..I was standing there in the biting cold and a forced smile looking like I’m constipated.

Not the most flattering pose. The Mom,Grandma and Stepdad

Stepmom and Dad

Lindz and the Bro in Law

Jo,aka our chauffer of the day and general do-it-all

Amazingly,I was standing there for 10 minutes without a jacket or anything.All the pictures came out with a constipated look and was not very flattering at all,no?

The Reception

At 12.33,we were all set in the ante-room of the John-T’s at Leeds Marriott.Used to the typical cheena wedding of hundreds of people,this reception of 11 people seems pathetcally lonely.It came out nice though,as Bridezilla and Groomzilla was able to take it slow and enjoy it properly

To start off,we had pink Moet&Chandon,which was really really nice…a posh touch.

Bride and Groom’s clinks

Mr & Mrs Snowman!

A view of the cake and my flowers..we had heart shaped confetti all over the tables as well as lovehearts,candies with love messages to amuse our guests

A view of my cheena tanglungs,which were promptly snatched up by the gwai lous after the reception!They have not seen anything so pretty before..it was hilarious seeing them scram around taking the lanterns off.

Instead of sugared almonds or the typical Malaysian gift of sucky cake in a box,we passed our jade chopsticks complete with a holder that we purchased whilst in Hong Kong during Easter last year.

My tulip bloomed halfway through the reception

This is turning into a super long post.Next up: Part 4 -Food(my favourite!) and snaps of the reception.
