Gatecrashing Ideas – Inspiration, Tips & Tricks!

I was looking through some of the past and recent wedding images taken by Raymond, and I thought it’ll be interesting to do an entry on the different gatecrashing games played by the brothers and sisters from various weddings! I left out the common leg hair waxing and bikini stuffs, and here’s a short list of games to consider! Enjoy! :)

 

The Simple Games


(From Paul & Evelyn’s actual day wedding on 24 October 2009)

Set a dress code, get all brothers to follow strictly. Appear for the gatecrashing with a happy spirit, do whatever you’re told to do by the lovely sisters and you’ll enjoy the happy day! Push ups are pretty common, but push ups are beneficial to your health, so why not? Make the brothers do 100 within 60 seconds! Perhaps with a bowl of eggs placed right below their tummy so that during the last few seconds when they cannot tahan anymore or cos they’re rushing to complete within time, they might land and crash on the eggs, or roll over to the side and bang into the brother next to them, and all of them fall like dominos. Muwahahahaha! You can replace eggs for ice, or water or flour, or anything you desire! (:

 

 

BYO- Bring Your Own


(From Desmond & Jolene’s actual day wedding on 25 October 2009)

I think the brothers are smart enough to make it a Two Way Bargaining session. The brothers came prepared, brought their own suitcase of treasure with ang pows. No idea what’s the least and maximum amount in the ang pow, but the sister had to make a choice. Interestingggg…

 

 

Scary Foodies


(From Edwin & Eunice’s actual day wedding on 21 November 2009)

Lemons are sourrrrr! How will lemon taste if you coat it with an extra layer of Citric Acid??? Muwahahahaha!! Maybe coat the lemon with citric acid, then rub it on any body part of one of the selected brother….. and…. the groom…. shall…. LICK IT CLEAN! Kekeke.

 


(From Guan Lim & Jeslin’s actual day wedding on 4 October 2008)

Speaking of Licking, here’s one of our all time favourite gatecrashing game. Guan Lim being the smart aleck, answered TOES to the sisters’ question of “Which part of Jeslin’s body is his favourite.” Tsk tsk tsk, and thus he had to lick off the whipped cream on the brother’s toes. Not all sisters are evil to think of tricky tricky questions to land you in trouble you know. Sometimes they meant well, no harm! :p

 


(From Andrew & Clarice’s actual day wedding on 11 October 2008)

However there’s always the exception – the Evil sisters. They’ll mix and match the weirdest stuffs on earth like smelly rotten beancurd with perhaps wasabi or bananas or other gooey stuffs altogether. Eeeeew! But weird food stuffs are generally discouraged for fear that the groom and his merrymen will puke and shit in their pants. Don’t let this moment of “folly” spoil the whole day ya?

 


(From Hiro & Serena’s actual day wedding on 7 December 2008)

Playing on the groom’s fear might be good. Chilli padi or single food stuff are alright, just don’t mix, and don’t use food/drinks that you obviously know the poor groom has an allergy to.

 


(From Kuan Wee & Pei Yu’s actual day wedding on 31 December 2008)

And for the greedy merrymen, sometimes the prettiest thing might look good, but not necessary taste good. ;)
This evil plate of dish made Kuan Wee spat from the second level to the first, and the poor dog dog sprinted to lick it all up. =_=”

 

 

Sexy Sexy – The Role Reversal Game


(From John & Ei-leen’s actual day wedding on 7 September 2008)

The evil sisters somehow enjoy seeing guys dress themselves up as women! So it’s inevitable that the merrymen will have to go through this.

 


(From Andrew & Clarice’s actual day wedding on 11 October 2008)

Other ways of dressing up the guy. No need for bikini cos bikini looks good only on skin and not clothes! Unless the merrymen strips…. now that’s another question altogether…

 


(From Hiro & Serena’s actual day wedding on 7 December 2008)

Make them danceeeeee!

 


(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

Such an intimate physical body contact! I think the ladies never fails to go Gaga when they see things like this! Hahahaha! This is Entertainment! :p

 


(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

How about some kissy kissy? Kekeke! Next time shall make them do away with the “safety barrier”!!

 


(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

Next, the brother had to chew off this buns on the groom’s chest cos inside the buns there’s a secret note and they have to follow the instructions written on it to proceed on to the next stage.

 


(From Jerry & Michelle’s actual day wedding on 6 October 2009)

This is pretty “man”, but pretty R(A) too!! *covers eye*

 


(From Richard & Wendy’s actual day wedding on 9 May 2009)

What a cute “bra” Richard is holding on close to his chest! He had to sing and dance while wearing this, but being cheeky, Richard even placed it on his head to make it look like… I don’t know, a genetically modified Mickey Mouse? Muwahahahaha!

 

 

The Innocent Games


(From Teck Yong & Wanling’s actual day wedding on 20 September 2009)

Create something out of the things the groom really detest, and find ways to make it stay with the groom throughout the entire gate crashing! In this case, the groom really hates Mushroom, so the clever sisters made a super cute mushroom earing and headband for the groom to wear! Real mushrooms! Innocent enough, right?

 


(From Morrison & Rachel’s actual day wedding on 2 August 2009)

This can be an innocent game, but can be quite a torture as well. You know… with age…. your bones have all stiffened up… so… you can’t really go…. that… L….O…..W…..

 


(From Koh & Ting Yin’s actual day wedding on 29 May 2009)

An innocent game too! Yoga is fun, yoga is healthy! Has anyone seen Yoda doing Yoga? I think it’ll be funny! Get the brothers to dress up as Yoda and do the Yoga!!

 


(From Herman & Janet’s actual day wedding on 19 April 2009)

Diapers? Disposable undies? *scratch head* It’s so innocent, kids can join in and play too! :D

Usually the sisters will draw the initials of the bride onto the diapers/undies and make them wear it on their butt, perform a cute sexy little dance and that’s all. Easy and simple!

 

Gather the Troops!

(Taken from Lionel & Angel’s actual day wedding on 17 November 2007)

When all things fail, leave it to the elderly!!

Ah-Ma says: “Eh, kui meng ah! buay sai sng liao, xi gan gao liao!” Which literally means, open the door, stop playing, time’s up!! You know how particular the elderly folks are about the auspicious timing? Always recruit a granny in your band of brothers!

 


(From Win-son & Faith’s actual day wedding on 29 November 2009)

And if the evil sisters make you eat something which you do not want to eat, flash your Ace card and win the battle!

 


(From Win-son & Faith’s actual day wedding on 29 November 2009)

Ah-ma says humph, 放马过来吧!(release your horse to me). Give me another 10 and I’ll gobble them all the same!! Ah-ma power!!

 


(From Jack & Grace’s actual day wedding on 1 January 2009)

Make sure they’re all dressed in black to appear scaaaaary! And also please try to include at least ONE charismatic brother. Once you have that in your checklist, half the battle is won. :p

 


(From Terence & Jann’s actual day wedding on 18 October 2009)

This time round, the poor photographer was roped in to help the sisters with the preparation. They placed lip gloss on Raymond’s lips and he had to put his sexy lipstick mark on the piece of paper together with the bride and other sister’s lipstick marks. But guess which one did the groom picked? Raymond’s!!! Hahahahaha!

 

Convert thy Enemy, or convert Thyself


(From John & Ei-leen’s actual day wedding on 7 September 2008)

The brother actually tried to bully the poor boy and make him eat the banana on his behalf. Tsk tsk tsk. Luckily boy boy was smart enough not to eat! Attempt at converting – FAIL! :p

 


(From Kok Meng & Cassies actual day wedding on 3 October 2009)

Poor Kok Meng had to do the push up all by himself!! Noticed that all the brothers did nothing but stood and watch at a side?? Luckily the groom was super duper fit enough to finish everything by himself!! Cassie has gotten herself a fit fit groom! Booboo to the nuanua brothers, and see what the groom has to say in the above image! :p 

 

Aww so sweet


(From Chye Tuan & Siang Yin’s actual day wedding on 10 May 2009)

Groom and merrymen singing sweet sweet love song for the bride. Look how much the groom is enjoying it. So sweet!! :)  

 

Seal the Deal


(From Ho Wei & Eileen’s actual day wedding on 6 June 2009)

Usually the sisters will help the bride prepare a pretty contract like this one, where the groom puts his signature and agree to all the terms and conditions stated on the contract. Conditions such as giving all the monthly salary and bonuses to the wife, promise not to be angry with each other at the end of the day if they ever quarrel, do housework blablala… which I think is pretty bogus! Cos after the couple put both their signature on the piece of paper call the marriage certificate, the terms and conditions stated on this contract automatically becomes invalid. So in order to prevernt such things from happening, engage a lawyer and have a reeeeal one made! :p

 

The OH-MY-OH-MY GOODNESS!!


(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

Have you seen THIS?? Such a scary piece of…. CHOCOLATE!! It’s actually the leftover chocolate from the bride’s hen party the night before. This “creature” was not supposed to be shown and used and displayed to the world, until Yutong’s mummy suddenly thought of it and suggested that they make full use of this for the gate crashing!

 


(From Michael & Dorothy’s actual day wedding on 19 September 2009)

See, even Michael thought it’s scary! Muwahahaha! Actually no lah, the bride was waking in and at that moment Michael only have eyes for her – the world’s most beautiful bride in his eyes. :)

.

Okie dokie, end of my sharing! Just a very few tips to share, so hope it’s at least a little bit useful! :)

Concluding Year 2009… or not?

I was thinking of updating an entry to conclude Year 2009 for Raymond and I, but come to think of it, 365 days are all filled with work and more work. The only time we get to go dating is when we meet up with couples-turned-friends for dinner or movies!

 

Actually I feel really blessed to have known them, especially couples like Guan Lim & Jeslin, Jack & Grace, Michelle & Sam, Desmond & Jolene, Jonald & Yutong, Andrew & Clarice, Richard & Wendy, Eddie & Aileen, Max & Mui Hui, Kok Meng & Cassie, Edwin & Eunice and a whoooooooooooooooooooolesome lotssssssssssssssssss moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! In fact we love them all for inviting us to be part of the special team for their biggest day, and also very appreciative that they engaged us because they genuinely love our works and not because we’re “spares”. Much more than that, we’re really really happy that we get to take the relationship further from being just clients, to friends and very good friends! So looking forward to Year 2010, and hopefully meet more interesting characters!! :D

 

Year 2009 was pretty fruitful with the achievements Raymond bagged from the [AG]WPJA – Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association, the MPA – Masters Photographer Association, establishment of the Wedding Photographers Guild, collaboration with the preservation of monument board and CDL in producing the book – Resonance Songs of our Forefathers, addition of Susulini the DI artist to our family, and lots lots more! Learnt a lot of things, widened our horizons a bit with the travellings and attending the Schembri workshops in Sydney, plucking enough courage to drive overnight from Sydney to Gold Coast within a day etc!

 

Come to think of it, even though Year 2009 has been 365 days of work for us, it’s actually still pretty colourful! :D

 

Now for my Year 2010 resolution: Stop work at 12 midnight, start work at 7am, find one activity to do together with Raymond (we’re pretty lifeless cos of work!), spend more time with family & friends, eat more fruits! That’s all for now! Maybe i’ll get susulini and Raymond to share some day!

 

Okie now, here’s some images from my personal snap snaps collection. Hehe.

 

I actually fed the machine with 2 dollars and out came this love struck looking froggie… I got this because Raymond was mad at me for some reason which I cannot remember. So next morning I went over to his place, outlined the shape of my hands and fingers, cut and folded them in such a way that the middle finger is pointing out, stuck it to the body of the frog and pinned the whole thing to his mirror!

 

I find it funny cos the whole idea of it is funny to me, and at the same time it gets to express my anger and frustration too… Oh well, things I do to “spice up” our relationship. :p

 

 

Bought this during our furniture hunting at IKEA few months back. Raymond likes it a lot.

 

Sometimes he’s really sweet cos he actually bothers to take time off work and divert his attention to me by doing little things like sewing my buttons back for me when it dropped off. :D

 

Interesting things we spotted together..

 

Having late night supper… it’s actually lunch + dinner combined in the middle of the night after 12 midnight!

 

Sharing a biiiiig mug of hot chocolate..

 

Yesterday I spent half the day accompanying my friend Shahidah. I call her Shark He Duck, or Duck for short.

 

I know I have a lot of emails to reply, but Duck is having some personal problems and she needed someone to talk to…

 

Raymond and I puts relationship above everything else, so instead of sitting down replying emails while she talk and share her problems, I felt that someone who needs a listening ear deserves all the attention…

 

Tried to cheer her up so I suggested snapping pictures!

 

Glad it made her smile… :)

 

SUCH AN OBSCENE PICTURE!

 

Duck and I knew each other since 1997, and she’s like one of my best friend… such a coincidence we’re both wearing checkered top!

 

Then I suggested playing with faces!

 

A picture of the naked face…

 

A picture of the painted face!

 

Duck has a big eyering, floral murals, bird (which I cannot tell!), stitched up wound, sun, and a Mr Pringles look alike face.

I had two uneven eyebrows, some wrinkles on top, double eyelid, arrow love, whiskers, pink nose, mustache, moles and eyebags.

 

This image is damn cool! Looked like I had fake teeth!!

 

That’s duck’s frontal view!

.

.

.

And here’s two images to share from our piles of backlogs of wedding images!!

Taken on 3 November 2009 for Scott & Wee-Li for their outdoor pre-wedding. Susulini came with us on that day and assisted. Very happy that the images turned out to be pretty nice! Sweet and cheery, bright and pretty!! :D

 

Taken on 10 November 2009 for Qi Wei & Hsiao Hui’s outdoor pre-wedding. Susulini joined us too, and we had a yummy dinner of Botak Jones right after! Love this series as well, and we really think Hsiao Hui looks like Zhang Zi Yi from certain angles! :D

 

We have a whole lot of other backlogs to share, some of which are already completed long ago. Do keep a lookout for more updates ya? Back to emails! Merry Christmas to all!! :)

Prawning at Bishan

Some pictures taken few months back with dummy camera! We brought Andrew & Clarice to Bishan for their supposedly virgin prawning session, and we met Jack the pro there! Jack has been prawning so often until he now has his own professional prawning rod, a big container of his wormy bait, he hooks up prawns effortlessly within short span of few minutes, he knows almost all the crews there by name, he gives away his netful of catch to other prawners cos he ate too much prawn until scared already. Hahahahaha!!

*Salutes*!

 

Jack's earthworm feed

That’s Jack’s container of wormy worms. They’re pretty disgusting to me. Long reddish color, some fat some skinny. You need to use the small cutting blade to slice them into shorter lengths so that you can use the hook to poke it.

 

Bloody earthworm

Oooooh, so painful! It’s bleeding!! O_O”

 

Hairy worms

Some were dark red in color.

 

Earthworm bait

That’s Andrew trying to hook the worm. So scary! The little side dish is actually filled with Chicken liver. The prawns love all things smelly!

 

Andrew

So focused!

 

Jack

Jack and the in house rod. His current pro rod is foldable for easy keeping! And i think he keeps it inside his car 24/7, anytime ready for prawning.

 

Jack and Raymond Phang

 

Prawn with pincer

Prawn with pincer!

 

Andrew and Clarice

Andrew’s catch!! Nice big one! :D

 

Prawn with roes

Disgusting roes. Eeeew! When you BBQ them, the roe turns black color. Some remains yellow/orange. Weird.

 

Bucket of prawns

We soaked the prawns in bucket of salt water. It’s like adding salt to their wound. *Ouch*!!

 

skewed prawns

Then we skew them alive. :(

 

BBQ Prawns

Put them on the BBQ pit to cook! Sprinkle some more salt, and sometimes a few of them will still struggle. Can see their tail flapping furiously, trying to swim away from the heat!

 

big and small prawns

The differences in size.

 

Raymond phang with prawns

O_O”!

 

baby prawn

This one is pretty. But very poor thing.

 

That’s all from my dummy camera! More updates to come from Raymond’s side! Enjoy the weekend! :D

Jack & Grace Actual Day Wedding

As promised, a post on Jack and Grace’s wedding earlier on this year in January!! Phew! Finally managed to upload the photos. For the next entry, I’m gonna share on the day Andrew & Clarice had dinner with us at Peramakan (a fresh dinning experience for Raymond & I), and the surprise they gave us! :D

For now, let’s enjoy the pictures from Jack and Grace’s actual day wedding! :D

Grace’s wedding gown has a suuuuper duper long train! I wonder how did she manage to survive through her wedding day! O_O”!

Singapore Photographers

Pretty Grace! She’s an Air Stewardess with Singapore International Airline (SIA), and she flew with Misako before! Misako is one of our wedding couple, and she’s really well loved by kids. A natural kid magnet. Hehehe. But she’s a real nice lady.  Grace is a nice lady too! I think she’s really meticulous and observant. She noticed that I bought Chrysanthemum tea during our first prawning session, and during our next prawning session, she actually bought Chrysanthemum tea for us! :)

Bridal Photography

Here comes the “Black Society”.

This is Jack! He’s a sales manager with SG Vehicles Trading. Buy car can call him, sell car can call him, anything to do with 4 wheels and an engine, call him. Muwahahaha. That’s what he posted on his Facebook!

I secretly think this guy is charming… (*.*) …Ok, now it’s not a secret.

Bridal Photography

Drinking some potent yucky liquid! One of the “cannot miss” items during the gatecrashing session. Eeeeeew!

So poor thing right?

Muwahahahaha!

Innocent looking piece of erm… Jelly?

Bridal Photography

EEEEWWWW! Muwahahahaha!

Ok, now the brother have a taste of it.

Cannot make it. Muwahahahaha!

I like all of Raymond’s car shot. :D

Some couple eat the eggs, some eat glutinous rice ball, some eat mee suah, some eat everything, some poke only cannot eat, some must eat finish, some can only eat half. =_=”

Interesting picture.

Was Jack tickling Grace to make her smile for photos??

Singapore Photographers

I can still remember something Jack told us when we returned from Australia last November for catching up session. We went to look for him at his workplace to pass him some stuff, and we had duck rice for lunch somewhere nearby. It was pouring cats and dogs. Halfway through our lunch, an old folk approached us to sell us tissues. Three packet for a dollar. Without any question, Jack quickly reached for his pocket and bought the tissues. Then he told us, if it was the old him in the past, he wouldn’t even have thought of doing that. But being with Grace taught him otherwise, and she changed him for the better. Grace is a person with a kind heart. Awwww… so sweet right!!! :)

At that moment, it totally changed my impression of Grace. Because when we first met up, Jack and Grace were “nursing” some hangover from partying, and she was like dressed up and ready to “kill” anytime. So I thought hmm… must be Ah lian.. Hahaha! =X

But after getting to know her better, she’s really someone worth befriending. :)

Bridal Photography

Snuff snuff!! Snuff snuff looked so happy in the picture!

This is the short short dress for their solemnisation.

The short one makes her look like a ballerina princess.

Their wedding is held at Mandarin Oriental.

Bride gotta be mysterious…

So intimidated to be surrounded by a group of giants!

Very interesting.

Now for the very very long train!

So long!!

Change to black cheongsam.

So chinese! :)

Hahaha! This kid is really cute!

Yum Seng!

And more yum sengs!

He really gave his all.

The must have yucky drink for the groom.

Fuwah! Such a big glass of it! Like me, he must be wondering what went into the concoction.

Wedding Photography

Take a sip to find out.

Bleahh… Horrible…

Wedding Photography

Interesting character!

I still think he is… charming… *blush*…

Jack kissing his daddy!

Wedding Photography

And he carried his emcee of the event without even remembering doing such a thing until he saw the wedding pictures! O_O”! Must be drunk already. Hahahaha!

That’s Jack and Grace and Raymond Phang. :D
