Eyes, Eyes, Baby!

In the prelude to their bridal photoshoot next Wednesday, AstroBanana had to make a trip to My Bridal Room yesterday to get some things done.

Previous trips have revolved all around Astro Girl so the limelight was on Eric Banana this time round. Eric Banana can only vaguely remember that he started to try on some suits. Exactly how many and how they looked like were a huge blur as he tried to recall exactly what happened. It was as if Astro Girl conspired with the MBR folks to make him go through the ultimate life-"changing" experience :|

Before he could make a decision, the make-up artist, Dily Ng, arrived and it was time for Astro Girl's trial make-up. Haha, so the limelight was on Astro Girl after all. It was the second time Eric Banana has seen Astro Girl with such heavy make-up, which prompted him to ask her, "Excuse me, have you seen my fiancée around?" after Dily was done. :P Eric Banana still insists that Astro Girl looks better with no or minimal make-up. In Dily's opinion, applying light make-up equates to not bothering with applying make-up at all in the first place.

After the trial make-up, Astro Girl started to try on some more gowns before she finally chose the outdoor wedding gown and evening gown for the photoshoot. Linghui also took her measurements to alter the gowns to fit her. By the time Astro Girl was done, she was already very tired - it didn't help that she had to work that morning.

The attention was switched back to Eric Banana as he went back to trying on the suits again. He was contemplating the all-white look - he looked okay with a white jacket - but when he tried on a pair of white pants, he decided that it wasn't such a great idea. White is not a flattering colour after all - at least not for a budding fatso like him. Eventually, he decided to pair the white jacket with a pair of black pants. Linghui said that there were previously three guys who thought of this combination but they changed their minds eventually. Undaunted, Eric Banana decided to add a black vest to the equation. He will wear this combination on the actual day. For the evening, he will switch to the all-black look. In addition, he will wear another suit with a mandarin collar for the photoshoot.

For the upcoming photoshoot, Linghui asked Eric Banana to take out the lenses from his spectacles so there will be no reflection. Erm, so how will he see? "Wear contact lenses lor." But Eric Banana has never worn contact lenses in his entire life before. Furthermore, his eyes dry up easily. And he won't have much time to adjust to the contact lenses before the photoshoot. "How about just wearing the specs without the lenses?" Well, Eric Banana's eyes tend to become very small when he doesn't wear his glasses :( Haiz, if only they have informed him way ahead so he can at least have time to experiment with contact lenses.

Dily also gave Astro Girl some advice on her hair so she went to dye and trim it today. She hasn't had any luck with getting a suitable pair of shoes though. Eric Banana's contact lenses will only be available on Monday, so he has to collect them after work tomorrow, giving him a grand total of one day to adjust to his contact lenses. Tough task. Although Uncle Quek assured him that it would be okay without contact lenses, Eric Banana is not too keen on the idea of having squinty eyes for the photoshoot. To a certain extent, AstroBanana are disappointed that these issues have cropped up at the last minute. It would have been easier if they have had more time to prepare...
