I remember...

• I remember our registration.......
• I remember five years ago today we got registered
• I remember we chose to have our wedding ceremony the next day so we can celebrate at the stroke of midnight instead of wondering which date to consider our wedding day
• I remember we had the ceremony date engraved on our rings to help us remember
• I remember we were one of the oldest couples waiting for our turn (the rest were SYTs and there was even a pregnant SYT!)
• I remember the lady who made us take our sumpah (oath) looked so stern and spoke down to us like she was a school headmistress scolding little children and we tried so hard to stiffle our laughter
• I remember sewing little glass beads and flowers on the little white dress I bought for the occassion and waking up early to curl my hair
• I remember we chose to get registered at the Thean Hou temple so at least we could have a nice backdrop for photos, a little bit of ambience instead of feeling like being at just any other government office, so unromantic without the feel and mood of a wedding
• I remember our wedding ceremony and dinner.........
• I remember hanging up my wedding gown at my room window, admiring it and thinking "Wow! This is the day!"
• I remember you bought me a pair of white silk pyjamas to wear on the eve of our wedding
• I remember laughing so hard and enjoying ourselves so much during our wedding tea ceremony
• I remember in terms of wedding attire we had a white wedding at my place (bridal side) and a traditional red one at yours (grooms side). Both were equally nice.
• I remember running around the garden with the two flower girls in tow posing for pictures
• I remember feeling grand (all dressed up) and a little bit excited during our wedding dinner
• I remember wanting to walk down the aisle in white gown, tiara and veil (even though we didn't get married at a church) and so thats what we did during our dinner with flower girls and all
• I remember to jot all this down before I get grey and forget some of this

Once there was you and there was me. And then we became us. And now just 5 years after becoming us, we have two little extensions of us. And to celebrate the 5th year of us becoming us, we shall include in our celebrations the two little extensions of us because its what makes us even more complete. (Because theres no one to watch them! Hehe.) I am sooooo looking forward to it!
