Together as One

Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't touched this space for such a long time! Have been really busy with studies and CCA plus I have been sick for over two weeks now. I am recovering and that is a good thing!

If you did not know, my older sister, Kirstie, got married last year on 29th December 2012!
It was an exciting and romantic affair that went smoothly and everyone looked so so so good! Weddings make me feel joyful, and especially this one since I was involved in!

My sister is the oldest grandchild/niece/daughter and so her wedding was the first one for our side of the family.

Before I start with the photos, I would like to share a bit of my experience and advice to fellow younger sisters or those who are involved in upcoming weddings.
Disclaimer:
I know I am only 16 and all so if you don't think I am qualified to share on this, just skip this part. 
(don't worry, it will be short and sweet I promise)

Firstly, be prepared to walk around the whole day in heels and your feet will hurt so wearing 5/6/7 inches will not be advisable if you are going to be helping in the preparations. Stick to lower heels or bring a pair of presentable flats that can fit into your clutch or be left in the car so that your aching feet can get some rest.

Secondly, you might have to run around quite a bit if you are a bride's maid so bring tissues and oil blotting paper. This will help to ensure that you do not look sweaty and sticky in photos as Singapore's environment is hot and humid.

Thirdly, no matter what happens, just smile and move on! What's done is already done so don't cry over spilt milk but wipe it up instead. Weddings are joyous and happy occasions so remember to enjoy yourself and don't stress up!

Moving on to my sister's wedding pictures,
I think everyone looked so good looking on that day and the photos were really well taken! *claps*

Starting with the march in,
the wedding ceremony was help at Queenstown Lutheran Church which was conveniently located near my house hehe!


























Worship was next. Love the framing of this photo.



Signing of the wedding certificate - ITS OFFICIAL! 


Photo taking session with the couple.


Wedding cake beautifully hand-made by my mum's friend.

Oh goody

Made cornflake butter cookies today! Took me around an hour and I managed to fill 2 jars. One small and one medium. Not bad I'd say! Will share the recipe in another post. I did a lot of agaration!
Tastes really yummy and Singaporean-ish and thank you Angxin for introducing it to me!
