The Photoshoot

I was anxiously waiting for the 6th of April...The day i can get all dolled up and have pics taken professionally.I was especially looking forward to wearing my wedding attire and see how it all looked on me...6th April came and Alvin , mum, chuts and i we all carried all the necessities to the car and drove off to Jurong...Everything was fine but when we reached i suddenly got a Migraine attack...the worst in months. So everythin had to be cancelled and postponed.The folks at the studio were kind enuf to understand our plight and didnt say much.Infact they called to reschedule it to the next available day...the 7th April 2007 @ 10am. I spent the whole of the 6th in bed....

7th April-We need to get the PS done asap in order to collect it by 1st July. So yeah we arrived at Jurong.This time only alvin mum and me...chuts had hindi school. First The MUA spent abt half an hour applying make up and fake eye lashes(though i didnt need them, she said it'll add to the picture:) then i changed into my bridal attire. decked up in all the jewellery and boy! Was i looking great. I really looked so sweet i know i noe I shdnt praise myself but really i was looking like a bride...no ordinary bride bollywood style ;) So Alvin in his sherwani and me in my lehenga...wow wah a couple ;)he looked dashin as ever ;)my tall ,not so dark, handsome prince

And then i changed into 4 different gowns and 4 hairstyles...Alvin to his 2 suits, sherwani and number 1 uniform...he looked so smart! then since it was raining(thank god) we couldnt go to Sentosa as planned for the outdoor shoot.We headed to an outdoor indoor location -the singapore arts museum and later down to Fort canning... IT was a great and fun experience. Our PG jeffrey made us feel really comfortable.The only thing that was hard to do was "SMILE" we had to consistently smile from 11 to 8pm...my jaws were aching but it was a fun and memorable experience! I cant wait to go for my photo selection i know i will have a hard time!
And so the day ended with us eatign out at BK and returning home to unpack and retire to our beds... ahem each to his own..

Our day started off very early.Went all the way to Jurong for our gown/suit trial. Here is what my package contains:

5 outfits changes -2 Wedding Gown ,2 Evening Gown, 1 traditional attire
2 Men's suit , 1 traditional attire, 1 Uniform(No.1)
Make-up & Hairstyling with accessories included
Usually the no. of photo taken will be ranging from 200 ~ 300 for your selection.
Only selected pics will be returned to you.
2 different venues for outdoor photoshoot (chose sentosa, and near St andrew JC)
Indoor shoot

I chose 2 white wedding gowns, one simple like a princesses' and one like with a long trail.Felt so like a princess(",)
My evening gown is blue and the other a red...all so sweet n sexy! cant wait to have it all on with the makeup and accessories
Alvin chose a black suit and a blue one all looks like it was made just for him.No alteration needed...

So since the photoshoot is scheduled for the 6th April @ 10am which is less than a week away...yeah its this coming Friday!!! 4 days away on good friday,and we needed alvin's wedding attire and my Imititation Jewellery which i have to wear with my lehenga...we had to get it all asap.

so right after our trial we went to S'goon to get it all done. We bought alvin's sherwani from stylemart and i happened to chance aupon a bridal set that i fell in love with while we were there...FH also managed to get his mojaris!His shopping is all done and he's very happy wit his buy i must say...

My bridal set is to be collected today as they needed to check itout to see if there are any stones that have fallen off.So yeah i cant wait to collect it later. I also need to buy khussas for myself but there is still time for it.

So from 10 til almost 5 we were out and about on our feet. When we got back we sat down and took a breather while having tea with my aunts' and cuz's and then at 630 we had to rush off to Singapore post to meet the tenants and sign the Room rental forms...All done at 815 and we drove to Vlux at Geylang to get our lighting for the Tampines house done.Collection is today as well. On our way we bought Durians and yeah finally at 9plus we were home.

It was a hectic day indeed but well i'm really happy that we managed to get alot done in just a day.
