Flower Girl

And here it is! The culmination of all of the rehearsing and dressing up, jet lag and thousands of miles across the Pacific.

As noted in the last post, the wedding ceremony was held at the Chijmes, a historic building complex in Singapore, on a beautiful Sunday morning.

C-bao makes her first appearance at 3:19 in the video, and her entrance into the hall at 3:35 (after a quick pep talk by C-Mum). While she hung on pretty tightly to those petals, and accelerated down the aisle particularly after the midway point, overall she looked quite comfortable with all of the attention.

The C-folks were very proud of her performance. Sister K-bao and Cousin Elizabeth were also magnificent.

Go East Young Girl

C-bao has made the 2nd major international trip of her short 2.5 years, this time to play an important role as Flower Girl at the Singapore wedding nuptials of Xiao Goo-Goo (Aunt Catherine) and Wen Zhen Shu-Shu (recall the immodest "dress rehearsal" a couple months back).

A very full and busy trip from which C-bao has just returned. Below are few pics of the first 24 hours of the 10-day trip: 

Knocked out, with feet firmly planted on C-Pop. On the first leg to HK

Moving all these suitcases C-Mum packed is a family affair

Arrived! At the hotel

First real meal in Singapore. Yes - pizza

More to come!

Immodest

"Cutesyville here I come!"

One thing these sisters are not is modest.

C-bao and her sister K-bao don their gowns for their flower girl roles at the upcoming nuptials of Xiao Goo Goo (Aunt Catherine) and Wen Zhen Shu Shu.

Before we knew it, phrases such as "I look so beautiful!" began to tumble out.

Even the C-folks had to admit, however, that there was some truth to that statement.

Princess

C-bao dons her princess outfit - courtesy of sister K-bao - and is swept up in a dance by C-Pop (who appears to be king only by virtue of his paternal association with C-bao and her sister - certainly not in evidence by his sphere of influence).

No one wants to be thinking of the hopefully long-ways-off and very far away wedding banquet dance, but these are the moments that remind C-Pop of how fleeting time is.
