The Wedding
It has been a long week and there seem to be so many things to do within a short span of time. Wow, things seem to be so overwhelming for me that make me so extremely exhausted. I have not been myself lately and I find that I am in a daze most of the time. However, I'm committed to upload this very post.
It was one main highlight of the week where I attended my cousin's wedding.
Everything was perfect. The wedding party arrived at their house and got ready for the big day. The photographer began documenting the festivities and though I missed out the fun in the morning, there were videos for viewing. It truly was a visual work of art. In that video, my cousin drove his convertable Porsche and the photographer snaped dozens of pictures. You could tell, though the sun was shining pretty strongly, the day was beautiful for both of them. Felt like some scene of a Movie.
Not only that, some creative ideas were put together and they too develop a short movie clip, showcasing their love for each other all these years and most importantly how they first knew each other.
It was through a friend, they knew each other. They didn't really think much of the other when they first met. But like every relationship, it slowly happened over time and feelings for each other started to develop...
He did everything he could to make her feel special and to let her know that he really does cherish her and the relationship they had. He too proposed to her in the most romantic way, she agreed and so now I'm here at his wedding witnessing this very special and important moment of his life, with our best wishes.
The dinner was indeed special. We're invited to Shangri La Hotel, one of the top and finest hotel in the world. First class services, spiral steps, "the island" ballroom, top class cuisines, etc... It was a very grand ceremony, heard from my uncle the cost for the entire wedding might cost up to 200k itself. I saw many of my uncle's business partners as well as those colleagues and past bosses for the new couple, which I happen to know are from some modeling company.
My cousin himself being a model for various companies, advertisement like M1 were a few cases he handled, and his wife being Miss Singapore Winner 2005 did prove her potential too, clinch several modeling deals herself and got selected in various photo shoot for magazines and newspaper.
First and foremost, you enter the great living of the entire hotel, walked the extremely long corridor stationed with their staffs which leads to a large waiting area, I would named it as the outdoor bar. Waiters and waitresses stationed everywhere, with those amazing drinks from the bartenders. Seriously the best lemon drop I've ever had. The signature drinks were so popular that soft drinks weren't to our liking for that day. Not forgetting the dinner served was delicious too.
The MC of the night was one of the bride's sisters, whom then announced the start of the wedding party as we witness the whole ceremony. It was perfect. From the wonderful duet, to the sincere readings by the best men, to the heartfelt and personal remarks by their close ones, to the champagne pouring ceremony, to the kiss that sealed their marriage... it was remarkable. This will surely be my dream wedding.
Anyway, it was a great night.
