Lily's Wedding







Ben, Lily, and Bill met three years ago on the TV show and have been best friends since.
Lily invited Ben and Bill to give a speech at her wedding.
She demanded a bilingual one.








Before the banquet started, Ben and Bill appeared to be at ease, chattin' n takin' pictures with people.


Behind the scene, however, the two boys were busy preparing.
Even though they had written the lines themselves (yes, the English AND Chinese), Ben and Bill (both perfectionists at heart) rehearsed at least 4 more times and prepared cue cards for their speech.












Lily chose to wear traditional Qi Paos at the banquet.
It's a tradition in Chinese weddings for the bride to change her outfit.
She changed four times.
Her beautiful Qi Paos generated a discussion amongst the female guests as for which one they liked the best.
The winner was the aqua blue one, custom-made by one of Lily's designer friends.
I liked the last one.



Kate the pseudo camera girl.





The speech was a great success (we have it on video but you all have to wait until Bill gets back from Thailand to see it).
Ben and Bill did it first in Chinese then in English. The puns and jokes were successfully executed and well received.
Needless to say, the two boys charmed everyone with wit and charisma on stage.


The real cameraman for the TV show, Hu Zhi (literal meaning is "beard").
He got the nickname because his family name is Hu, and he's got a beard.




Bill and Roberto.
Bill was very proud of his new tie.
It's got tiny skulls on it... Arrgh!













Dorion, also a skull lover, shared Bill's excitement on the new tie (*cough..dorks..cough*)

It seemed the only time Dorion managed to keep a straight face in front of the camera was when he was in it with Sharon.








The after party was at a lounge bar called FiFi.
There was A LOT of alcohol.
Bill was happily pickled in Scotch.
After having been on high heels for more than 7 hours, I wanted to chop my legs off.
But they were damn sexy heels....
