Congrats to Edwin and Shu Yu for finally being married!
Dinner at Conrad was good, and i had fun taking picture, and stuffing myself with dinner.
As our table had only 7 people, it meant that there was an extra 3 servings lurking around.
So i had 1.5 serving of the appetiser/cold dish, 2 servings of the sharks fin soup, and many more that i can't seemed to remember.
Having attended quite a number of wedding reception and dinners, this is one of the more memorable wedding settings.
From the ambience to the wedding gown, and wedding picture, Shu Yu somehow infused her sense of style into everything.
After all, she has always been a lady of great taste. From the designer gown that she wore, which maintained its elegance, but yet manages to stand out from the countless ones that i have seen in recent years, to the little piece of lace that was pinned on the side of her coiffure, to the wedding album where everything was taken black and white.
I fancy the contrast, the irony of the pictures. Edwin and Shu Yu wearing their gowns, praying in the temple. It's like a total fusion of East meet West, about our ancestors and cultures, making us into who we are today, and how they made Rex their shi tzu the ring bearer in the pictures!
Ah, i guess i'm going too deep into this artistic shot of the entire wedding album, but you get what i mean, definitely one of the better wedding that i will remember by.
The other wedding that left an impact in my memory, would be the one that mom and dad brought Da and i to. I was probably only 5 or 6 years old back then, and the wedding party was held at the now defunct Alkaff Mansion. After the church service, the wedding entourage proceeded to Alkaff Mansion for lunch.
From the garden setting, to the rose scent potporri that each of us get to bring home, the ambience reminded me of english weddings that we often read about in novels. Even the toilet had potporri, and the flowers in the garden were pretty. i guess that it must have cost the newly wedded a bomb.
