Steph's Wedding

Mr. and Mrs. Chung

The day started out early at 4am with hair and make up. Everyone gathered at my uncle's house in preparation for the Chinese tea ceremony and the door games.

Before the groom is allowed to come into the house, close friends and family of the bride play door games where the groom and his groomsmen have to pay to get through the door. Generally the tradition is because the girls do not want their friend to be given away easily so the harder the games, the better. Here, my dad and uncle look on as I conduct one of the games. The boys were extremely good sports.

Success!

Reception began and ended with tons of dancing. The dance floor was always packed.

Seriously hilarious photo. This girl on my cousin's other side was really gunning for the bouquet.

Another big family photo sans bride and groom. Our family had so much fun. We sang, danced, drank lots and took tons of photos. We are freaking awesome.

Finally caught a photo with the bride.

What a fabulous wedding. Seriously one of the best I have ever been to.

Montreal Summer

At the height of Montreal summer, Mass and I took out first stroll around the city stopping at usual tourist attractions i.e. Old town and eating at overpriced restaurants. He did, however, find the best Casa del Habano where you can still smoke indoors. I'll let him get into the finer details on his blog (when and if he ever posts again, heh).

Think I've mentioned previously that Mass is a self proclaimed caffeine addict / expert. Tim Hortons receives his seal of approval (he promises it's not only to satisfy my Canadian heritage *rolls eyes*).

After our little tour, we headed to my Uncle's house for a big family BBQ on the eve of my cousin's wedding. I literally become a little kid when I'm with my family and argue endlessly over word semantics in Scattergories (which is the best game, ever). Mass was a bit scared. The entire day required a semi-breathable outfit as it was reaching 30's in the city. Wore an Artizia tank, some palazzo pants from mom that are probably older than I am, Kenneth Jay Lane earrings, Tom Ford sunnies and Giuseppe Zanotti flats.

Off to enjoy the English summer which finally decided to make an appearance yesterday and hopefully for the rest of this week!

Steph's Bridal Shower

My cousin, Steph, was a terribly good sport with everything we put her through over the weekend. From wearing bustiers to stuffing marshmallows, she was the most willing bride I've ever seen!

Steph and my sister, wearing Zara shoes that I have in blue! She was a trooper and wore them out to a club for their first outing. I barely could walk after 1/2 an hour in mine. They're definitely not the most comfortable but for £29.99, completely worth the value.

Homemade spread (including the cake pops!) by the MOHs. I'm not a baker, but I sure was impressed.

Steph's bachelorette

Surprisingly, a lot of fun at a burlesque class in Montreal. More to come from Montreal tomorrow.
