Mr & Mrs Ngoo.: October 2010

God is good.

When we put Him as our priority, He gave our desire to us....more than we deserve or can react to..

God is good.

This wedding,our primary objective is to show how God loves us, mould us to let us become of what n who we are today, and finally together. Throughout the whole wedding can say mostly are d.i.y stuff..i reali dun trust bridal shops with standard package n doesn't meet my objective. My aim is to maximise the resources i have and still meet my expectation..from my gown n grooms suit, bro n sister dressing to deco and many more...since Dar is not working for past one year. . have been busy sourcing, looking for design etc.. andl i see how God gave us many more n we do not have to worry at all for our wedding. Alot of young couples nowadays are worried about cash poor but we do not have to. And this come from dar's grandma's prayer. She is so worried like many other ppl how would dar survive without working for one year. and i can tell u, when we first seek God's kingdom, many more will be added upon u...

He also gave dar a car to drive when he needed most to run wedding errands. And this come from dar's grandma's prayer too. The power of prayer. Liam always told grandma... "神最爱听老人祷告了。因为那是最真诚和直接的" =D

We do not view it as a coincidence or just so happen. Becuz we believe, by faith, with prayer n action, God shows us his greatness n abundant blessings.

Definitely, we have so many challenges n hurdles to overcome before this wedding is completed.

>Candles cannot be used in church
>Wedding Gallery almost not in time...canvas alot color printing prob..keep reprinting.
>Love story Video Clip till last 3 days still rushing...voice recording done in wee 3 am...n dar has to dig me up from snoring while he thinks of the script for me to say...poor him..he worse..nvr sleep at all!!!
>Childhood montage couldn't find william's baby photo..desperate until wan use his cousin's de n impersonate as him!!
And time is running out n dar has no time to think of storyboard..n while we were fretting, God sent us an angel called Peiyi to ask if we need help. we really heave a sigh of relief that someone know us very well are taking over this project!!! In the end, peiyi says she outsource to her sis cuz she too busy...n im reali grateful Liyi helped us amidst her busy schedule!

>wanted give him surprise n still rehearsing with Gwen the night before wedding day thru hp..with alot distortion n noises.
Gwen - not only help me to perform live on wedding day, also took the effort to go thru the song together im gg to sing as a surprise for dar dar...love uuu..i will nvr forget the happy time we rehearse tog...good memory although oni one day....

>Wanted to start strict diet from oct 1st but to no avail..everyday was so energy sapping...food is only the console to me.Who say bride need beauty sleep? i got ginvera roll away panda eyes! ok Ben super good makeup skills i must say..n he praised me and liam for our better looking good skin from photoshoot. LOL. n i was about to tell him we both slept at wee 3am almost every day week before wedding.
Ben - the very giggly guy n yet pro to make me so chio, thank u Ben!

>Spent 1 whole night arguing the design for our invite card n 3 weeks to finalise n print. so for those who dun wan keep the bookmark we can give to someone else who wants it cuz we dun have spares...=( But all these effort in designing the invite card n bookmark must reali thank Amber n Tiffany for combining their forces together with us..esp Tiff got swollen eye just to rush out our artwork...
Our Tiffany~~!

>Mum wants me to change my wedding date cuz she superstitious about clashing with gradma who has just passed away. Respect n giving in is 2 different matters. i faced cold war with her for 1 full week. my never ending prayer, smses, soften he heart...
>Mum's unreasonable request to want me march in with his bf. cannot blame her for her ignorance. Marching in is a very holy n scared wedding ceremonial part. in the end thru patience n love i show to her, and in God's time, she accepted that I march in myself. To honor her n not giving in to her unreasonable request. alot ppl says:" aiya your wedding coming soon, dun quarrel more with yr mum later she really dun turn up for your wedding." I really love her n have put the point straight, i honor u not thru this, this is my wedding and i will choose to march in alone. N really thank God, marching in is not alone, God is beside me, not lonely at all..n Liam say it is very special n beautiful. *hahah thnk God again i didn't trip...and thanks for the cheering from my frens!!!! this really encourages me. God knows what i want, support !!

>Wedding gallery 重头戏- the storyboard doesn't pop out of nowhere..have to dig my 8 years of memory..realli blessed to have xiaou laoshi to be our chinese translator! her chinese really powerful. Those who missed it really pity. i have a fren too engrossed with the buffet didn't have time to catch my gallery. sobz sobz.buffet too good also not good. lol.

Our beloved xiaoyu laoshi.

Our photographer Gerald who also gone extra mile just to make sure we get the photo right for the gallery. visit his blog at www.geraldphotography.blogspot.com =D but not very updated, should see my fb picz (http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=108409469226554)..more updated! lol..he super busy with fashion shoot usually.

My dear Amber n Nic, who took extra effort to help me buy the gallery doors from Ikea, n Nic took leave to receive the gallery. the couple's neverending support from housing the gallery doors at their house to help me staple the canvas really moved me..ok along with a bit cola's company..=D

>Wedding video clip 2nd 重头戏 - we dunno meet my muay thai instructor cum videographer Ray like umpteen times just to do more shoots till i confused with wat im supposed to dressed up for the same scene which we retook for a few months ago de...=.= but we reali blessed to have him. so patient and willing to explore many scenes we requested.. took up alot of his time n energy..now i noe i cannot be celebrity cuz filming sux to max!!!!! 5/10sec scene can film for 1/2hr n above!! But realy thanks

Ray-for going the extra mile for us.. do visit his website, up n coming still undergoing some construction in some ways... http://divinemoments.tumblr.com/

>Honeymoon was placed 3 days after wedding day..initially still want quarrel with liam for wasting my 2 leaves..but now i thank him cuz i spent full sat settle post admin stuff(return stationeries to ppl, money, items etc...)..and today was busy clearing any
left over admin stuff n have some time to pack...so i must thank Mr Ngoo for his farsight and many angels like dinxin n yan for the planning too. now i noe y dinxin miss our wedding. so he has a greater purpose at Perth there. to be our tour guide!...=D
Nicholas - Mr nice guy whom we flying off soon to bully!!

Junyan - the super reserve n loners guy(on the right) but yet super annoying n fun to us at same time

Shared with my sisters that i quarrelled with liam almost every single day. From invite card, to gallery display to video..
Glad that Gerald is very tactful to omit that 'guy' from my express highlight...=D
Also thank God that my mum didn't stunt us with 'now u should call him father already' during tea ceremony..Liam was bravo! "he told this guy, hope u will marry mother soon and take good care of her." to me, this is my mum's greatest wish..
If this wedding is to please human, we will never be satisfied or meet their expectation, but becuz our objective is clear, which is to honor God, till now i do not feel a sense of loss when the wedding is over. =)
Loved Wenqing laoshi n xuelun laoshi speech for us during ceremony, this is the 2nd wedding message i will rmb till i old, other than Qilei's n Kevin's de..so sweet and personalised for us!
Wenqing laoshi n Shelen laoshi - always me n liam example to look up to =) They are also our 媒人 http://-berrybliss-.blogspot.com/2010/10/yesterday-is.html

i simply dig my sunflower theme, a day before still worried if will be overtly exp n yet not outstanding...but when i see the reception table, the gallery, the hall the buffet table all filled with sunflowers, i was overjoyed.
My church super deco experts meizhuan jie(2nd from left) n liying jie(1st from right)!!
