We would like to thank all of those people who came to our wedding and made the 3rd of October  the happiest day of our lives.

We have had so much positive feedback from the guests saying that they have never been to such a fun wedding. Indeed the Gazebo and the Casuarina  Suit looked nearly as beautiful as the bride.

Thank you too to those who sent the heartfelt messages they made the   day complete. We understand the cost and effort involved in attending a wedding especially  when you are  from oversees.

There were so many highlights of the day with of course the main one being the stunning bride, the pictures of myself the groom almost captured the joyful raptures that I felt in my heart.  I know that my father was looking down from above and I could hear him say, “well done boy, she is quite a catch and make sure that you spend your life ensuring that she knows that she made the right choice”.

The speeches were just fantastic. I didn’t know that Lilly was such a fantastic public speaker, my sister Lil moved me to tears as did my dear brother Pete. Weng’s was absolutely fantastic and hit all the right notes. What a great line up of speeches. Oh, even the best man’s was pretty good, a number of lies and misrepresentations but I understand that he was going for a few cheap laughs. I jest, I chose the right fella to give the speech and no one enjoyed it more than me. I have heard a rumor that Ty will be inducted to the Best Man Hall of Fame. Tremendous job Slyrone.

We wish though we had pointed out that the tables were given movie names. Each table had a small photo frame with one of our favorite movies, we actually spent a number of family meetings deciding which ones would best represent us.  Also who was  sitting at the aisle on the lawn? Those people were meant to throw confetti. What happened people?  I guess you were stunned by the beauty of the bride. I understand, all is forgiven.

Well the wedding celebrations are not over as we have the Chinese dinner reception on Saturday night so in the meantime enjoy some of these photos.

 
On my way to Singapore last Friday I fell sick.  Was it nerves or Swine Flu? I think it must have been nerves since I have recovered. Not having seen Gladys in a while it was wonderful to see my fit and toned fiancé. Gladys is famous in saying that just stepping inside a gym gives her a headache. Over the past 3 months she has been going to the gym three and four times a week pushing the limits with a personal trainer.  A wedding sure is a good motivator. I was inspired by her efforts so I started to watch what I was eating and have been able to drop 8 kg’s. However, with all the great food in Singapore I may have put back on a couple…..Anyway, Gladys will look absolutely fabulous and I’ll look the same minus an unflattering middle aged belly on the big day.

We have just come back from the Registry of Marriage (ROM) and we are signed up and ready to go on the 3rd. Tonight the Best Man, Tyron arrives and with the Matron of Honor, Lily we will go to an Italian restaurant for dinner.  Tyron and Lily have not met, thanks to face book those two have been chatting and teasing like two long lost high school friends. I am sure that we are in for a fun night and we are so looking forward to their speeches on the big day.

Be sure to make a note of our Singapore numbers, Philip 9198860 & Gladys 90172752

Gladys has had two hen nights the first sounded like a very big night with her old friends from Emirates, those girls know how to party….Gladys had done her dash on the first night so the second sounded  a little more tame but she did come home at 3am + so it was not too bad.

The fella’s are playing golf on the Friday so if you would like to join just give me a call and I’ll let you know the details.

With all the planning and no shortage of mini-dramas along the way we are nearly at the 3rd. Thank you to everyone for all of your support and best wishes and if you are unable to make it to Raffles then you will be with us within our hearts. Our wedding is about our love for one another and our love for our friends and family.

 

All our love
