It was impossible to hold back our smiles while going through this couple’s gatecrashing session. As the bride sat demurely, waiting patiently to be met by her groom, he and his entourage were entrenched in a friendly and hilarious war of gatecrashing hurdles. Thank you for these hilarious and fantastic captures, Andrew Yep Photographie!

The bride’s seven bridesmaids watched the groom and his seven groomsmen intently, ensuring that they jumped through enough hoops to earn the bride. The little cups of a honey-like concoction were far from sweet tasting, and the many push-ups that the guys had to do in their thick, multi-layered outfits were brutal.

Together, they laboured and pushed forward until finally, the groom was allowed to enter, amid the excited clamour of family and friends, and laid eyes upon the love of his life. What a sweet day for the two families, as the couple continued with a tea ceremony to honour their elders.

Tips from the bride: “Start planning as early as possible to give yourself plenty of time. Be prepared to listen to advice but when it comes to the decision-making, just follow your heart. After all, it’s your wedding. Trust is key. Be honest with your partner, give him your attention and affections daily, and always say ‘I love you’.”
