Weddings

We went to a wedding yesterday at the Jurong Adventist Church - must say it was the most creatively done wedding we've attended in a long time. The decor was great with flowers every where, making the place smell heavenly.

The wedding montage of the wedding couple was brilliant! There was this video on B talking about R and how they are best friends. Then, the video went on to show how B proposed R in total darkness with these tea light candles made into the words "Marry Me". Awww - so romantic and really a good video for YouTube.

Congrats to all the kaypoh aunties who matchmade the couple and orchestrated the whole wedding event for the wedding couple.

HH has this thing about wedding - he hates them! Maybe our wedding was so awful that he does not care the repeat the process :p

Anyway, HH dislikes going to weddings because he needs to get dressed up - put on a well starched ironed shirt and proper dress shoes and sometimes a tie for the occassion as well. There there is the mush of weddings that get to the very practical engineer brain of his that he cannot process - yeah, I can understand too.

My take on weddings - get dressed up in my standard formal event "uniform" of my kebaya blouse and sarong skirt with my Ferragamo shoes and try to have fun.

Yesterday's wedding was a very elaborate affair of a church wedding where the church was packed to the brim. It was beautifully decorated. There were many grooms men and pretty flower girls scattering flowers all over the aisle.

In contrast, our wedding was pretty simple - to church then to lunch. We had 53 people attend the church wedding (including ourselves) then we headed off to the hotel for lunch. The whole lunch was over by 2:30 pm.

HH was feverishly ill - I think he had no recollection of the event other than him having this wet towel on his head to bring down his temperature!! Oh well - we have survived thus far!
