July 22, 2006 - Michelle & Andrew's Wedding Day

The day we've been waiting for. This will be short coz the pictures (I'm sure by now, you've seen them) will say it all and how wonderful the whole day event was.

- 330am early morning start
- Thanks to Aileen and Teresa (Michelle's mom-in-law and sister-in-law) for doing our hairs, not to mention, getting up early to do our hairs. They were all great!

- around 830am, the two Rolls Royce arrive to pick us up. Nice, my first time!
- a little sprinkle/shower in the morning but considering its been raining the past week, we were lucky the sun came out this day and dry the rest of the day. It started raining again on Sunday.
- 9am ceremony. TWO hour Latin Mass. It was beautiful!!! Too long though...and freezing inside the church. The ceremony went smoothly. The bride was on time!












- in the Rolls Royce to Sydney Uni for wedding pictures. I wasn't able to take pictures of the bride and groom. Only us, the bridal party (Natasha, LJ, Esther, Celestine, Stephen)

- Reception at L'Aqua, Cockle Bay in Darling Harbour. We missed out on hors d' oeuvres and wine as the guests were waiting for us by the veranda. Nice view of Darling Harbour.






- I had shrimp/smoked salmon for entree and kingfish for main






- some guests


















- speeches from the two dads, the best man, and the groom. Thank goodness I didn't have to make any speeches. Not the tradition.
- cutting of the cake: carrot cake (yum yum!!!)






- first dance: Sting's "My one and only Love"

- throwing of the bouquet. As I always do, I stand all the way at the back coz it never reaches me. Bouquet was caught by Mai (Chris Byrne's gf). Pressure on you now, Chris, to get married next! Haha! (No garter tossing).
- the bride and groom has left the building. Checked in at the Hyatt by Circular Quay and flying off to Hawaii the next day. Happy honeymoon!!!
