"I do" Bridal High Tea - 31 Aug '08

Hi girls,

I've finally kept my promise. The upload's done!!! hahaha... Hope you enjoy the pics and that afternoon of course :)

For everyone else who weren't there, don't get upset for not being invited. It's not that I dun love you guys. This is an event exclusively for "I do" brides, their best friends & the lady crew of "I do". I still love you as much even if you're not invited. Mwahx Mwahx Mwahx.. hehehe...

Unfortunately, some of the brides couldn't make it that day. Nevertheless, it was still a fun afternoon. (Despite the rush I had to go through. I only had 2 days to prepare all this, since being a good granddaugther, I had to take granny for a visit her doctor and could only get back to Medan 2 days before D-day!) That's why, great thanx for the help, lovely crew. I don't know how I could get through it without you guys. Also thanx heaps to dear hubby for accompanying & driving me around to pick up linens, chairs, tables, decoration, and to all sorts of Mini & Supermarkets to buy all the party needs. (I'm a supermarket-idiot. I had to go to 5 or 6 supermarkets till I get the whole shopping list covered). Thanks... You've always been my greatest 'supporter' in life and at work. Ahhhhh kok jadi ngelantur gini... Sorry I got too carried away..

So... the High Tea was finally held on 31 Aug' 08 after a few changes on the dates. The venue was my dad's mini garden. We rarely got to use the garden for parties. I've always been so excited about garden parties and never really had the chance to make it come true. At my wedding last year, I didn't get to enjoy it since I was too busy being the 'bride'. So you can say this is kinda a way to please my ego too... Being a host of a 'garden party' has always been one of the things I dream of doing every now and then Hehehe...

Hope you enjoy the pictures captured by my friend Tahbar Junus who I suspected did mostly the eating rather than the photographing that day hahaha. (Well he's more like the invitee to me rather than the photographer anyway. He's like the "Aling" of every one of my bridal event)

OK, S.L.I.M mode..............

The e-INVITE

We started with the cooking demo by my food-tech girl, Wen2 from MaCeHat (Makanan Cepat Sehat), Jl. Karo no.20 hahahaha... Promosi gratis, Wen). Di MaCeHat ada jual susu murni, susu kedelai, yg fresh dan bener-bener terjamin keaslian dan kesegarannya. Pokoknya bo salah liau lah... Pesan dari MaCeHat aja... Trus lu jual apa lagi Wen? Ntar upload listnya di COMMENT yah hahahaha.

Thank you yah Rose uda bantuin juga hehehe

Everyone watching the 'demo' by Wen.

The girl in black in front of Wen was video-taping the demo. She is from Videotech. I requested a girl for the videotaper to go with the gender-code. Well, Tahbar is "Aling" mahhh so 'she' didn't really break my rule hahaha. Can't wait to see the video. I promise I'll upload the video once I have it in hand (hopefully I'll have the time to keep this promise hehe)

The crepe in process. With the chocolate swirls from the Chocolate Fountain in the background. And cheese-topped banana. Reminds me of the crepes we had in Paris on our Honeymoon. The taste was NOT disappointing too...

The pisang goreng. Which I ordered way too much.
(Thanx to beloved hubby for helping 'deliver' the bananas safely and timely. Mwahx Mwahx hohoho)

Wen's spectacular concoction...
We have to find a name for this good-looking drink, Wen. Hmmm... "Sparkling Passion"? Good?

(Oh thanx to Ul for the glasses, tables & chairs hahaha)

Mini-Pizzas!!!

T.I.R.A.M.I.S.U !!! Better than most restaurants!!! (Not kidding!!!)

They also got to 'play' with the crepes too.

These 3 girls had the largest crepe prepared that afternoon. Dunno if it's due to their good appetite, the 'attractiveness' of the crepe, or their miscalculating the measurement.

Which reminds me. Bar, why didn't you take the shots of me juggling the crepes with the pan? That move was shockingly C.O.O.L lerrr....... How could you miss a crucial historical moment like that HUH?!!

The 'running out' Chocolate Fountain by night-time.

You see why I said 'way too much pisang goreng'? Oh btw, we also got the rare 'Pisang Goreng with Bumbu Pecel' on the menu that afternoon, a special dish combination with inspiration from my hometown, Tebing Tinggi, which hardly any Medanese ever tried until they met me HUA HUA HUA!!!

(Nearly) Everyone!!!
Some had to leave early for appointments later that night.
