Guo Da Li ~ 25 Apr 09

2 weeks before our actual wedding, we had our GUO DA LI ceremony, where the groom will present the betrothal gifts to the bride side, i guess its sorta like making a deposit for your purchase? hehe..We assumed that it was gona be simple..but we were sooo wrong!!

Besides having to wake up as early as 5am, we had to complete the gift exchange & AN Chuang by 8am, and had to distribute the traditional cakes to my relatives..

Orange Syrup in exchange of Martell!

Goodies we got..




Returning the gifts


Traditional "Teochew Cakes"


An Chuang..

Hand like legs

Finally done!


I tell ya, weddings are not fun at all! Im beginning to suspect its an excuse to tekan the couple..By the end of it, Alan & I could barely speak, crashing on the sofa bed..zzzzzzzzzz
