Uncle Damian's Wedding

The girls were supposed to be the flower girls at Uncle Damian's wedding on 25 April. We were all pretty excited and woke up early that day. Mommy dolled the girls up early in the morning and had painted their nails the night before.

We got there punctually but alas, we were the only ones there. It was quite frantic and Daddy & Mommy ended up having to liaise quite a bit with the other helpers since it was a huge confusion and there was not one person who had a good overview. The church didn't allow the aircon turned on and Daddy had to keep asking them to, since it really was so hot we kept perspiring. Thank goodness the guy who headed the team of carpark ushers was also there and was able to manage the carpark side quite well, so Daddy just had to oversee the church side.

Mommy tried to get all three flower girls ready and everything was managed without too much hassle. The church wedding went fine, except that my dear Kieona suddenly got too overwhelmed and there was some hiccups during the march-in.

The reception turned out to be quite a long wait for the guests though, and Daddy really had to see to quite a lot of things and Mommy tried to talk to the relatives, who were getting a little frustrated with waiting in the heat. Mommy was just a little shocked that in the end I had to coordinate with the staff on the tea ceremony. Thank goodness though everything went pretty much alright and we did try our best to fill whatever loopholes there were to fill. Good thing too that the guest list wasn't overwhelming. Ahh, in the end we were just glad that it was all over and Uncle Damian was happily married.

Flower Girls?

It has always been Daddy and Mommy's hope that Kieona and Kierra get to be flower girls at least once - just for the fun and the exposure. How happy we were when Uncle Damien announced that he will be getting married next year and asked for their involvement as flower girls.

The girls do not quite yet understand what this is about yet, except that they had gotten their beautiful white long dress that Mommy never bought for them since there has been no occasion for wearing them. And they have been very happy about it since Uncle Damien and Auntie Liana bought them the dresses last weekend.

Just this weekend, Kieona showed Auntie Ruth (who visited today with Uncle Andrew) her dress and told Auntie Ruth that it is for "The Wedding". How cute, the way kids put it.
