sugared flowers
what could be a simpler way than lightly coating edible flowers like rose petals with egg white followed by a sprinkling of fine sugar to add a touch of prettiness to some homemade cupcakes for wedding guests? full tutorial here.

coral
i think this is possibly the loveliest & rather unexpected color combo for a bright, cheery wedding. dare i pull it off for our wedding? hmmmmm i dunno... it might shock some people in my family gauging the way quite a few questioned my choices during the bertunang.
anyways, here's another wedding with coral tones that i'm crushing on.

as it was my birthday, my family surprised me with a scrumptious chocolate cake from lavender, pavillion.
bobby helping me cut the cake. hehehe so cheesy!
us being silly. as usual.
this is one of my favorite shots of me with my grandmother & mother
with my lovely cousins
with my parents
this is some of bobby's hantaran to me. left to right (click on the picture for a larger view): 1. sirih junjung, 2. fruits, 3. chocolates from shangri-la's lemon garden & 4. cake from shangri-la. not pictured is the ring, telekung & bunga rampai.
my ring which was part of the hantaran. i let bobby pick it out & didn't see it until about 2 weeks to the engagement for sizing purposes. he completely floored me by picking this stunner from the carat club. it's a half-eternity band with 10 love diamonds & engraved with our names within the band. i love it!

the ceremony
the following are some of my favourite pictures from the arrival of bobby's family & friends (or the entourage as we've nicknamed them), to the actual ceremony of setting the terms of the engagement & the wearing of the engagement ring.
waiting...
bobby's dad with my dad
bobby with my maternal grandmother.
according to tradition, bobby wasn't even supposed to be in the house
during the discussions but we're not exactly a traditional couple, are we?
the ladies (the lady in purple is bobby's mom & she's wearing a baju
kurung made with the sari fabric i bought for her in india. i love how
it turned out)
bobby looks like he's listening intently doesn't he? hehehe
i think this picture was taken during the exchange of pantuns which
was quite hilarious because no one was really prepared for it!
i was finally given the ok sign to come down
