Wedding Photo Trip: Part 1 Hell

After Erica and James arrived in Taipei, we went on the very strange once-in-a-lifetime "Wedding Photography Trip".

First day, we took the high speed rail to Taichung and checked in Le Parker Business Hotel.  Then we went to try on our dresses.  Each person can pick 5 dresses and the stylist design something around the dresses.  Then we had to stayed around to talk to the photographer.  It was quite tiring especially because Kevin and I were still both a little jet lagged.  But it was nothing comparing to the second day...

Second day.  We were lucky that the weather was very sunny and nice.  We started at 9 am.  I had a ridiculous amount of make-up put on me, including 2 sets of false eye lashes. Erica had half her eyebrows shaved off.  Then we did 2 sets of studio photos before we headed out to Gu Guan 谷關.  I don't usually suffer from motion sickness but on the winding mountain roads to Gu Guan, I got extremely car sicked.  I was in the car, wearing a gigantic wedding gown in full make-up, trying very hard not to vomit.  We took photos after photos.  I felt cold, stiff, tired, jet lagged, car sicked and hungry.  By 8:30, I insisted to the photographer that we have to call it a day.  Which was a smart move, because Erica told me that their session went til 10 pm.

Here's some photos to share:

 
See all the eye lashes that weren't mine? 

  
My monkeys were in the pictures with us.


I puked in this dress...


 This dress kept on falling down...


  
 By this point, it was very hard to smile.


 
This is our Corona commercial.  Cheers!
