My beloved Beef Chilli Cheese Fries!

The waffle and various ice-cream flavours that are TO-DIE-FOR! Superb food at Melt at Marina Oriental

Totally could not resist myself from taking these tiny cups of delightfully sweet desserts even though I was extremely full

My newly manicured fingers for the photoshoot

An attempt to provide a peek on what I'll look like in my wedding photos and on my wedding day

The photoshoot today was absolutely fun! Really think we did the right thing signing up with this wedding boutique cos their service is impeccable! The people there are super nice and friendly and I think that's what good service is - not just all smiles and robot-like service, but rather, they make you feel like you're meeting your pals.

Thought the photoshoot was going to be very tiring and boring, but instead totally enjoyed myself today. I think the enthusiastic photog played a huge part in that. He's a funny guy who makes you laugh and feel natural in front of the camera, even though he does make you do funny poses that you'd feel awkward in (I totally can still hear his voice telling me to: "Tilt your head down", "Look up", "Look down", "Chest and butt out", "arch back", "tilt your hip up", "stomach out"...). A true professional as such. Really inspired me and gave me an urge to take on photography, or at least seriously consider it.

Started out in the studio for indoor shots and we actually managed to smuggle our dogs in for the shots all thanks to the help from a great friend. :) Although it nearly didn't materialise cos the security saw us with the dogs and chased us out once. But like they say, never say die, rite?

Outdoor shots started off with Henderson Waves - so many people were there... it was kinda awkward to have so many people watching as we made our way up, and to hear so many people trying to whisper about you, when in fact they're talking rather audibly as they walk past you. And several mentioned "Oh, look, she's wearing slippers!" Yes, most of my outdoor shots were actually done with me wearing slippers. Kinda reminds me of those newscasters who wear shorts under the table.

Moved on to Alexandra Park where 2 other couples were also shooting their wedding shots. Took some on the famous swing as well, before we left there with some mosquito bites.

And last but not least, Sentosa. Headed for Tanjong Beach initially but it was DAMN packed cos of some Beach Fiesta so we had to head over to Siloso instead, ironically. Walked past a camera crew who was there filming this show - Cooking in Asia starring a celebrity chef whose name I can't remember.

So anyways, he stopped cooking as we walked past and congratulated us. We headed past and took our position further down the beach, preparing for the shots when I noticed that one of the camera men was standing a few metres away, camera in hand, shooting us. Yes, I shamelessly flirted with the camera - waved to it once and looked away, but looked back and found the camera man waving at me, so I waved back again. I guess there's my 5 min of fame. It's out in July so if u happen to watch the show, do watch out for our cameo appearance!

Took a couple of photos there, with the sunset and what not before we called it a day and headed back to the studio. I can't wait to see the photos a week later, although that would mean we would have to make tough decisions when choosing the photos. *gulp*

It was a great day - the weather was kind to us and the people were super nice. Strangers, mostly caucasian, even came up to congratulate us and a family on vacation even came up to take a photo with us.

Really, a woman does feel prettiest when she's in a gown and all prepared for her wedding.
