Tg Balai Wedding
Finally.. it’s all done.. fiuhh.. I felt so relieved.. but think I’m kinda miss it now hehe.. 
Btw here goes the review below..
As I mentioned previously, this time the one who got busy on the preparation was my hubby hehe.. there has some kind of tradition on inviting the guests by sending the invitation by themselves and need to personally asked the guests whether they able to attend the party or whether they need to be fetched to the wedding dinner place. A little bit complicated than the celebration I had in Jakarta.
At the night before, the groom side had some dinner celebration at their home by inviting their relatives and friends. Maybe you can say it similar to bachelor party I guess..
Actually one day before the party, me and hubby supposed couldn’t meet each other.. but as the preparation still going on, such condition couldn’t be followed.. luckily his parents and relatives are flexible enough.. so there I was attended their bachelor party with my relatives haha >,<
After finished our dinner then we prepared to go back to our hotel first coz later on at midnight time, there would be a ceremony when the groom fetched the bride..
At midnight, the groom (aka my hubby) with his brothers came to our hotel. There was a negotiation between the bride’s sisters and the groom’s brothers till they reached an agreement to open the door and allow the groom to meet the bride. Actually it was the fun part, as the groom side is willing to do anything in order to be allowed to fetch the bride.. heehee but for mine it’s quite easy coz my side didn’t prepare much to “bully” the groom’s side hehe
After fetched, I followed my hubby to his home to continue the religious ceremony and the tea ceremony to his parents and grandmom. Once done, we all went to sleep as in the morning we would continue the tea ceremony. I think we finished all and went to sleep around 3am >,<
In the morning around 10.30am, we had our tea ceremony with my hubby’s relatives as for my relatives, we already had it done at Jakarta last time. After that, I had some time to take rest before our dinner celebration at night. Hubby side still busy on the preparation..
At last, it’s the wedding dinner time.. me, hubby, and my parents reached a bit late as the make up artist was not so punctual and organized enough.. Hubby parents and relatives already stand in front to greet the guests.. After all the guests arrived, we started our wedding entrance procession.. Once we arrived at our table, then the dinner started..
The celebration party in Tg Balai is still following Chinese tradition, maybe similar to Singapore wedding dinner. There was a stage performance for anyone who wants to sing karaoke and entertain the guests.. When someone contributes in singing, others can show their gratitudes by giving “hongpaos” (aka red packets)..
Actually the groom and bride supposed to sing so can collect more hongpaos haha.. but for us, we were too shy and unused to sing on the stage .. >,<
Not to forget, we also need to prepare hongpaos to gratitude the person who contributed singing in our wedding party..
During the dinner there was a wedding toast aka “yam sheng”, where me, hubby with our parents and relatives joined to the stage and asked the guests for a toast.. The dinner was continued with the entertainment from MC and guests who contributed singing..
Before the party was over, me, hubby and our parents prepared to walk in front to thank the guests before all the guests were leaving.. After the guests leaved, then we continued with our family photoshoots in the end..
Overall the party was welldone with the help of alot friends and relatives.. Thanks God
