Hubert & Elizabeth's Wedding

Time: 12:35am
Mood: Meh..
Song of the moment: Backstreet Boys - Just Want You To Know

Saturday was the big day for Hubert and Elizabeth.. they got married! I had told Elizabeth I was willing to help out on her wedding day b/c I figured since Jimmy was a groomsmen, I wouldn't be doing much during the day anyway. Boy it was an eye opener! I realized really how much went into a wedding! But I also took some mental notes on what I wanted for my wedding :D

I arrived at the church before the bridal party arrived. I was helping out with the reception table where I was recieving the gifts and getting them to sign this huge framed portrait of the bride and groom. When the bridal party arrived, I got the first glimpse of my Jimmy in a tux.. oh he looked so handsome :D *giggle* I was definitely all smiles after seeing him :D hehe! The ceremony was sweet. Hubert cried when Elizabeth was walking down the aisle (I didn't get to see this.. I was fixing Elizabeth's dress before she walked down so I didn't catch ne of it.. I saw it in a video they played later at the banquet). Awww :D I don't think Jimmy's gonna cry when I walk down the aisle. He's too much of a manly man to do that! haha! But we'll see.. :D Kin predicts he's gonna tear *lol*.

After the ceremony, a whole whack of pictures were taken, then the bridal party was off to take pictures downtown. I stayed behind to clean up, then I headed home for some R&R, and to get ready for the banquet that night. Again I showed up at the restaurant early to help with the reception table. My goodness they had so many ppl @ the banquet.. there was around 360 ppl there or something! Jimmy and I both agreed.. our wedding is not gonna be that big! haha! After seeing how much goes into a wedding Jimmy and I concidered just going to Vegas or buying one of those wedding getaway packages.. makes it so much easier! LOL! We're both so lazy! haha!

The banquet was a lot of fun! For those who don't know much about Chinese banquets, we tend to play a lot of games.. some of which are kinda peverted. But it's the only time you can get away with it. I think the worst one I've seen is the bride had to push an egg up the grooms pant leg.. up one pant leg and out the other without using her hands! Anyway, Hubert and Elizabeth's banquet games were kept clean! haha! Jimmy and I got called up to do a few games. The first one was this mirror game.. where the bride and groom had to copy whatever the couple in front of them were doing. When we got up there, Jimmy askes Hubert "How bad do you want it?" haha! Then Jimmy pulled me into a kiss and dipped me! It completely threw me off guard.. I had no idea he was gonna do that! haha! After dinner was the dance. The guys acted like complete idoits (as expected). What surprised me was Allan.. one of Jimmy and Hubert's hockey buddies. I swear I saw the side of him I've never seen before.. absolutely hilarous! hahaha! Hubert got totally trashed on wine.. his best man did too.. started to cry haha! Weddings really bring out the best in ppl :) I guess through the whole fiasco I made some new friends and I had an awesome time :D

I'm not looking forward to planning my wedding :S

12 more days til my defense. I'm not feeling it quite yet... I havn't done much planning yet. I think I spent more time thinking about my wedding & planning my upcoming trip :D

Speaking of my trip.. I've inquired about my tickets and tour.. and I'm booking everything tomorrow! I'm leaving on Sept 16th for Korea to visit Rita.. heading to HK on Sept 25th.. my china tour on Oct 25th, back to HK Nov 5 and heading back to Toronto Nov 7th. Wow I'm gonna be gone for a while! The sucky thing is that Jimmy found out last week he can't book time off :( I'm so upset over that :( oh well.. shit happens right? His department is doing some restructuring right now, and they're short a person. We agreed that if later on he finds out he can get time off, he could just come to HK cuz I really want him to meet my relatives.. and I'm sure my relatives want to meet him. *crosses fingers* I hope he comes.. a month and a half w/o my Jimmy? eeks!

Here's really bad pic of my tattoo. Hey.. it's a webcam.. my tattoo is on my lower back and w/ poor lighting... it's tough!
