14/11/2015 - 安床

安床 was a simple affair for us. I'm glad these days 安床 does not necessary means kids jumping on our bed and there's a 好命婆 present to say all the good words during 安床. Master Long way of 安床 was pretty simple and straight forward.

Years back when we approached him, he did suggest us to have our 安床 before we proceed on to our 过大礼 all in a day. However, we reckoned it will be too rush for us to squeeze everything all in a day hence we separate the 2 must-dos for a Chinese customary wedding on 2 different days. 

As usual, we chose a auspicious date from the list of dates Master Long has provided for 安床. 安床was held on 14/11/2015, 2 weeks before our actual day wedding. 

We love  Master Long way of doing things because he mentioned one must actually sleep on the bed after 安床 so that the bed will have 人气. There are many other feng shui masters who don't allow anyone to sleep on the bed after 安床 so I'm glad we approach the 'right' feng shui master haha! 

On the week of 安床, we started preparing the items needed for 安床. 

Four different kind of fruits to be place at four corners of the bed, 1 pineapple and also a hong bao containing $12/$120/$1200 and etc (Money can only be spent after the wedding day). Huat Kueh is also needed but it's not shown in the picture because my mum bought it for us and brought it over on 安床 day.

On 安床 day, we woke up before the auspicious time which is 11am - 1pm (calculated byMaster Long) . Once the auspicious time arrived, we changed our bedsheet to a brand new bedsheet. We then start placing all the items accordingly and leave it there. We were advised to leave it a few hours before clearing it away. 

We finally got this up after buying it from Tao Bao more than a year prior to our AD. So much love for velvet looking stuff instead of the traditional kind of 喜 sticker.

And that's how our bed look like after 安床

The four fruits were placed at each corner of the bed and the remaining items n the middle of the bed.

That's all for our 安床 day. So if you intend to approach Master Long, this is more or less what you should be expect on 安床 day. I hope I've not missed out any important info if not that should be all :)
