(chinese + philipino wedding) i-mei & tony

wonderful wedding between 2 different culture, a modern chinese gal and a westernised philipino chap, which took place at saujana kuala lumpur hotel on 28th June 2008. also attended by guests from singapore, australia, papua new guinea, philipines, macau and uk. a brief description of the bride & groom .... "down to earth and jolly" ^_^

having the privilege to be treated as part of the family, it was interesting to be able to witness the "behind of the scene". wedding stress is a common word to any bride & groom but this bride is extremely lucky to get the assistance from her brother. **ahem** day dreaming the brother returning from overseas in his cloak and red underwear, just like superman to save the day**. the best wedding planner to rely on. as if he has this fullproof checklist scroll kept somewhere in his tiny brain.

morning started off with a sweet church wedding. proceeded to a tea ceremony. then a dinner event. finished off with a drinking party with friends.

they've had really good emcees. jin and charles. jin is with a great personality + passion (had a wonderful conversation and bonding) whereas charles is very funny + ambitous (found a few article on this chap). excellent speeches by the groom, bride, bestman, bridesmaid and both fathers. loved the part where the father of the bride gave a bitter sweet speech. being proud that both children are doing well overseas, giving him an excuse to travel to 2 continents anytime but sad to be left alone at malaysia with their mother ... sob sob

we were all serenaded by a life band singing and playing jazz music. very very very good performance. the singer herself dedicated a wonderful piece to the bride and groom.

my attention was actually caught by the act of "sticking money on the bride and groom", part of a philipino wedding culture. as a romantic song being played at the background, the cute couple would dance away while guests rushing towards the front to clip their notes (spotted lots of currencies) on the bride and groom. it is said to symbolise good luck. enjoyed myself and happy for this wonderful couple.
