Welcome to Jess & Teck's Lovely Love Story! We invite you to share in our joy and journey in our wedding preparations :)

First Set of Pictures!

Hi everyone! Thanks to those who helped out on the big day and made everything possible and wonderful! Mr and Mrs Tan have gone off on their honeymoon in London and Paris (wahhhhh so envious) so I'm posting these pictures on their behalf. This set of pics were put together for showing at the banquet dinner by the photographer Kelvin Koh from Lighted Pixels (really very talented as you'll see) from the morning pics he took. There'll be more to come! In the meantime, enjoy!

The story so far...

Ok, so I lied; we haven't exactly been lying dormant over the past 10 months. We've actually done a fair bit of planning, made some life-changing and irreversible decisions, plunged into some deep ends, lamented to God every now and then, thanked God every now and then......

So what exactly is the story so far?

  • As you probably already know (where have you been if you haven't heard???!!), 9 March 2007 at The Cliff, Sentosa, was the day when I got down on my knees and (*ahem*) paid a non-refundable "deposit" for Jess' hand in marriage with a Celestial Fly-Me-To-The-Moon-And-Let-Me-Play-Among-The-Stars Solitaire Diamond Ring.
  • Too few guests for The Fullerton Hotel, and too many for Raffles Hotel; we finally decided on the intimate but stylish Conrad Centennial Singapore for our Wedding Dinner. The date? We wanted 7 June 2008, but it was taken; so 31 May 2008 then!
  • Being kiasu Singaporeans, we bought our rings before the 2% GST hike last year - a pair of matte-white-gold-with-a-small-diamond Celestial wedding bands!
  • We decided to place the fate of Jess' wedding gown, evening gown, tea dress and Chinese kua; my suit; our hair and make-up services, flower hand bouquets, corsages, car decor; and other important wedding details into the hands of Mel (please don't feel stressed by how important you are to our wedding), The Wedding Present! =)
  • The responsibility of making us look better than we really are for the studio/outdoor photoshoot falls on the shoulders of Chris Ling's Kelvin; you can see his outstanding works here!
  • We have a special something for Kelvins; our Wedding Day will be seen through the lenses of Kelvin Koh, Lightedpixels. We really love his photos and philosopy (It is never about taking perfect pictures, just perfect moments)! See how he captures these perfect moments here!
  • We plunged ourselves heavily into debt servitude with our love nest - a 4-room HDB flat at Cantonment Close. Still not officially ours yet; but we will be getting the keys next week! Then it's time for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition! =)
  • Church Wedding will, of course, be at TA2, with catering by Les Amis. You wish! Still haven't decided on the caterer yet, so do let us know if you have any good recommendations!
  • We still haven't decided where to go for our honeymoon yet; but Britain, France and Spain are on the shortlist. Well, there's always Balai =p

And the story goes on......
