The Wedding: Wedding Banquet Dinner

Hi everyone, sorry I've been MIA. Lately, I'm just too busy lazy to do anything :p So this turned out to be a very latepost. The wedding banquet was the most cheerful part of the day, no tears, only PARTY! lol~

Unlike wedding reception in Jakarta, here we need to prepare 1-2 hours before, to welcome all the guests at the entrance of the ballroom. The reception dinner will start when all the guests have arrived, or at the latest at 20:00.

My sister and cousins
Yup, Almost all of my cousins are younger than me! Some of them are still babies, lol!
I feel old already -_-

The MC welcomed our parents to the ballroom, then they took a seat.
Family tables were in red color, others were in peach :)

Prepare for the bride and groom's grand entrance!

All of the guests stood up to welcome us and there was this huge applause, this feel is somehow amazing! <3

LOL!
Did the confetti just hit right in his face? HAHAHAHAHA..

Walked slowly, I enjoyed this moment a lot, I really did (\(^o^)/)

Finally reached the stage :)

Wedding cake, it was actually a styrofoam cake, none of the tiers were real.
Well, we didn't want to spend money on the wedding cake, moreover nobody would really pay attention to the wedding cake, right? :p

Although our wedding cake was fake, but the cake we ate at the stage was REAL CAKE, hahaha..

I love my wedding gown a lot! Wedding gown was from Catherine Wedding Jakarta <3
His groom suit was from Pizzaro Sensation Design Jakarta <3

Carefully walked down the stage, my gown was a little bit heavy, it weights around 9 Kg ~_~

We joined the family table and ate together with the other guests as well.
But after a few dishes, we went around to do the mingle.

Here come the food

Guests were enjoying the food served :)

Ready for the mingle session :)

Mingle, went around the ballroom from table to table greeting the guests

Wedding toast, they didn't open the champagne bottle for us.
We need to shake it until it opened itself, trust me, it's not as easy as it seems, haha..
We did shake really hard!

It tastes good <3

Calling up our relatives to have another glass of wedding toasts with us on stage and yelled a very long and loud YAAAAMMMM-SSSEEENNNNGGGG!!!!

The guests also stood up and yelled YAAAAMMM-SSSEEENGGG!!!
Shouting Yam Seng is one of the Chinese's tradition when having a wedding toast :) 

Continued our mingle session after the Yam Seng~

At the exit door of the ballroom, the guests were going home, thank you all for coming <3

The party is over in 2 hours, it was very short, but I enjoyed all of the moments so much :)

After being in a relationship for almost 8 years, we finally tied our knot. And we feel so blessed that our dearest families and friends were there to celebrate this joy with us. Thank you to everyone who has helped and joined us in our celebration of love. All of you made our day! <3
