chocolatesuze & noods' reception at Rhodes Phoenix

14 April 2010, 03:24


It’s candy time! So after the tea ceremony i changed back into my wedding dress while sending the super freaking awesome food bloggers to help set up the candy buffet. Woohoo checkout mah candy bar! The idea was for guests to help themselves and fill up the cardboard noodle boxes (from Sydney Packaging) using metal scoops ($2each) with whatever candy they wanted to take home for their bonbonniere. The glass jars were from Reject Store (approx $8each) and i spent $100-$200 buying candy in 2kg bulk bags from Campbells Cash & Carry (you need to be a member) and by the end of the night there was seriously nothing left for me to eat!


Mini lollipops in makeshift vase for my ‘flower decorations’ (thanks mother!)


Restaurant innards at Rhodes Phoenix (Level 5 Rhodes Shopping Center, 1 Rider Blvde Rhodes)


Our awesome MC’s Jess and Baz


We duck back outside for our ‘formal entrance’ which uh wasn’t very formal since we played oompa loompa songs as we walked in..



CHEEEESE!


Heh i got mobbed by the aunties


And it’s speech time hullo dad! Bwahaha the Pringles is because of this post


And a speech from my mother in law!


(Photo from Connie) We are powered by energy drinks hehe



Da family. And i did a dress change (Calabro Formal Wear Parramatta, $295) whee i like pink!




Heh heh did ya like Noods’ awesome slideshow? He made it in the week leading up to the wedding with large amounts of cussing because he had to learn how to use the program from scratch haha


We didn’t really have time to eat much but look food!


More food!



And then it’s time for Josh and Will’s speech…


(Thanks Simon for the video)


BWHAHAHAHA oh Jason you should wear skirts more often hahahahahaa


LOL Will, Jase & Josh you guys were awesome! i heard the boys made Noods go home early just so they could stay back and rehearse haha the skit was gold!


I LOVED watching people scoop their candy! What shall it be? Redskins, Fantales, Sherbies, Gummy bears, Strawberries & Cream, Pineapples or Jaffas?


Uni girls look happy with their candy lol


Bowl of candy!


Helen’s speech made me all gooey inside naw i <3 you!


Awesome cake made by Amie! 3 tiered cake of fudgey chocolatey goodness topped with giant 4” gummy bears (US$9.95) from Vat19.com



Giant knife!


Ok ok a nicer pic


<3



We didn’t want to do the traditional linking arms and drink wine so we ate the gummy bears haha Noods took a ginormous bite forgetting that he was supposed to do a thank you speech next


And as is Malaysian tradition, a toast by Grand Uncle- Yaaaaaaam sinnnng!


One more time! YAAAAAAAAM SIIIINGGGGG!


Time for the bouquet toss! i didn’t want to injure anyone so opted for tying ribbons to my lollipop bouquet



Only 1 ribbon was actually tied to the lollipops and the rest of the ribbons i held in my hand


(Photo from Mig) Ready girls?


And the winner is my bridesmaid Shez bwahahaha i swear i didn’t rig it!


(Photo from Melissa) Noods refused to do a dance so i made him do a conga line


(Photo from Mig) i was pretty surprised that we managed to get majority of people to join the conga line haha


Attempting to make our way thru the london bridge of humans


Thanks to our amazing photographers Trish & Joel you guys were freaking awesome!


Lastly, thanks to everyone for all your well wishes! We had a blast and hope you enjoyed reading about it!

  4. LoL This looks so much more fun than the wedding receptions I’ve ever attended! I’ve showed the photos to my bf, but for some reason he wasn’t so keen on the idea. Maybe because he doesn’t like lollies? ;) Thanks Susan and congratulations! :)

  41. That’s kind of the best wedding reception that I’ve ever seen. I would LOVE to go to a wedding in which I got loads of free candy! My guy and I had a margarita machine at our wedding reception, which was also a huge hit, but now I’m sad that we also did not have four-inch-tall gummy bears.

    — Pumpkinbear    Apr 28, 12:45 PM    #

    Now I want to ask ..how come you don’t have diabetes and you’re still sooooo skinny ?? hahaha I’ve put on so much weight in the past year and my mum is scared I’m going to get diabetes :( LOL
