That morning, I went Trinity @ Paya Lebar at 9:00 am with my 2 "free labor" hunks aka my husband and brother to set up the table and decorations. My sister, SY, together with BX was in charge of final touches of the dessert. Getting all 75 creme brulee sugared and torched, putting on the chocolate beans on the tiramisu, setting the chocolate feutillies onto the Triple chocolate mousse and finally packing all 300 over desserts so that they will arrive at the venue with no mishaps.

I stayed on in church to finish setting up the tables while RH went to pick up SY and the desserts. They arrived at church at 11:45 am and the reception was supposed to start at 12:00 pm. Luckily, the solemnization started late so we had a leg up. Everything was set up beautifully by 12:00 pm, ready and waiting for guests to arrive.

I had to go and pick up more rose buds and chocolate beans and change into my dress so by the time I came back to church, the party was in full swing. Dessert glasses were being swept up left and right. We had really positive comments and I think most people liked the decorations. *Beam*

By 2:00 pm, ALL and I mean ALL our desserts were gone and some of the latecomers did not get any desserts. It was really a slight on our part as it was our first event and I think we might have miscalculated the quantity of the desserts. We estimated based on the number of desserts that people consumed during C's first month and that day we had lotsa leftovers. Unfortunately, when people think of buffet, they somehow can eat more.......hahaha!
All in all, I guess, our first event went pretty well. No major hiccups but we learnt our lessons well, we really need to cater for more desserts next time.
