The thrill and fears are finally gone over kaput after the final encounter... 'The wedding reception'. Overall it  went well and we were satisfied with the outcome of it. It took months of preparation (as usual since i love to procrastinate, and i seems to like to rush things up everytime) . Special thanks to my beloved sisters Wendy, Ivy, Pauline, Clement D'Paul, Samuel Isaiah, Jessica Isaiah, Aunty Pang, Cheryl Liew, Elaine Lau and Angeline Tan who have expressed their love, care, support, and help throughout the wedding ceremony. I would not have made it without them guide me along through the journey. Believe me, it was terrifying being out there as the center of attention and all eyes are on you! Ryan and i made some hiccups but it's a part of life journey that we shall cherish and remember. Above all, i would like to thank Abba Father in heaven for these wonderful peoples in my life, i am truly glady deeply blessed.

I received some compliments on the song selection for the reception was good! Honestly, i was really flattered to hear this as they were years of my so called collectibles which i compiled as far as a decade ago since i first had my internet subscribed through Streamyx service. Some were long lost songs that i remembered during my childhood years, games, movies.. Some songs were from my sister's which they have recommended to me and some through friends. All these were the part of special ingredients that made a good recipe for the wedding. Thank you dearies! As the saying sharing is caring, i am listing out the songs played for the night for your viewing, who knows it will be for your wedding as well...

I also got reviews about the slideshows, the song used for the entrance slide was Chris Botti Feat. Katherine McPhee - I've Got You Under My Skin and the main slideshow was from Matt Dusk - Miracle. This seems off but my personal favourite was a song for my entrance at the church was from Don Marsh - O' How He Loves You and Me, it is a song of God's love to His children and speaks of God's love sacrifice to human mankind. A big Amen to everyone who has sincerely share their joy and blessed our union and may the Lord's Shalom blessings be upon their lives.
