Aleina's Baptism Day

St. Anne Church - Aleina's Baptism Day = 28 October 2012

It was Friday (26 Oct), 2 days before Aleina's baptism, we attend a Prepatory Session required by St. Anne Church. In this session, we were told that any parents/participant who were unable to attend in this session will not be allowed their child to be baptised on this coming Sunday. The next prepartory session will be held on December. We are very lucky that Poland (one of Aleina's godfather) is cooperative and supportive for us; and he really allot his time to attend the session.

28th October, Sunday - the weather is sunny, just right for our event though the reception is just inside our flat. The church is just 15minutes walk from our place. We've start preparation of Aleina at around 8:30 in the morning still we're late in Sunday mass. We have arrived I think in the middle of the Sunday mass. At least, we're not late for the baptism ceremony.

After the Sunday mass, we still have 15minutes allowance before the actual baptism ceremony commence. In which they advise the parents of the child, to feed their baby first, as much as possible. During this time, some of our guests especially godparents arrived in church.

Initially I thought ceremony will only take about 1 hour. Due to the reason that infant baptism is doing by batch, the actual duration takes for at least 2.5hours.

It was past 2pm already when we reached our flat - the reception venue. All of the food I ordered are there, with full setup and decorated completely! Thanks to my sister, cousin Irish and mil for helping us decorate the house while we're in the church.

I loved the dessert table decorations! Where we placed the cake and other give aways.
