Call me Mrs Ong :)

29th March 2014, marked an improtant start of our journey of "Two are better than one".

Thank God everything ended beautifully in His hand. Our wedding day turned out incredibly wonderful and worth our eight months preparation. Glory to God!

We were our own wedding planner and very much into every small detail thing. From designing invitation card, producing them from raw papers, surveying wedding venue, theme and colour, bridal house, make up artist, photographer, live band,  sound system, wine, door gift design etc. The list is endless.

Thank God for He is faithful. He guided us for every step. I am grateful for this beautiful wedding I had, with the help of many of course. My parents, parents-in-law, siblings, relatives, friends, churchmates, guest from near or far, and everyone who involved whose names aren't mention. We express our ultimate gratitude. It wouldn't be as successful without you all. Thank you.

Today marks another significant day in my life - my youngest sister and Benjamin's wedding. Heartfelt gratitude to how she grows to be a beautiful bride.

God bless as they walk through the new chapter of life!

Ernest actually planned to propose on my up-coming birthday with a diamond ring ready! He still refused to show me the ring till the planned date, says him. I couldn't hold my curiosity and finally found it in his cupboard! *Bling bling*

131/365 - The proposal

On 10th July 2013 during our vacation to Philippines, having gone against the tradition, I boldly decided to propose to him. Many said it was supposed to be a guy's job. Since I had the thought of marriage before he did, I thought it would be extraordinary memorable if I do it. It turned out hilarious, but no regret!

I had it planned a couple of months ahead. Tek Jee, our buddy was informed in advance to give me a hand. The plan in the end differed from what I had in mind but the outcome was absolutely satisfactory! 

I decided to do it in the last evening after 2 long days of Caramoan Island hopping. A boat right in front of our chalet was decorated while Ernest was bathing. As soon as he was done, I suggested a beach side walk while Tek Jee quietly placed the ring in the boat decorated earlier, and faithfully guarded the ring from afar throughout our walk as there were a few kids playing around the boat. As we approached, I pretended a surprise as to why was there a ring on the boat. Ernest was surprised seeing his name on a card, and finally said yes! :)
