Derp and I attended his army mate, Derrick's holy matrimony and wedding lunch not long ago. We are not the superstitious type and our feng shui master has no issues with couple attending wedding few months before/after their wedding. We were definitely happy when we were given the green light to go ahead.
Anyway, the couple has put in lots of effort for their wedding and we totally can feel it! Oh well, it's been awhile since the both of us attended such a beautiful wedding, very different from the usual wedding.
#LOTD
We could not get a cab on a Saturday morning so in the end we resort to using Uber. It was our first time using Uber and like any others, we were afraid that the final charges will be out to 'tok' us. But oh well, we got no choice because we were running late.
Our cab fare was more than $40 which got us quite a shock. The driver depended on his GPS and his GPS lost signal once we were in the underground expressway. Hence, we took a longer time to reach the venue to attend the holy matrimony. Anyway, I did request for a refund from uber and it was successful :)
In the end, not only the cab fare was expensive, we were late and barred from entering the service. We were only allowed to enter probably 20 minutes after their first march in :( I can only say different church has it's own set of rules.
We were glad we didn't miss out any important parts of the holy matrimony because they only said their vows and exchanged ring/sign the paper half way through the whole service. It was a very touching moment when they exchanged their vows because the groom teared! Awww! Such a sentimental groom :)
There was catered food after the service but Derp and I only ate some because we were attending the banquet lunch. There's instant photobooth (by OneEyeClick) set up just outside the church so we took the chance to have fun with the photobooth while waiting for the shuttle bus to get to Shangri-La Hotel.
We were early for the cocktail reception since we came from the church via the specially prepared shuttle bus. It's time to take more photos then since it's gonna take sometime before the wedding banquet starts.
Nicely taken wedding portrait of the couple and we didn't believe it was taken in our neighboring country :)
In love with all these details they have put in for the wedding ..
Guests can choose to leave their thumbprint on the small round wood collected in the jar) or sign off on the guestsbook,.
We had a chance to visit the washroom before the crowd arrive..
Full length mirror is love!
Very big and spacious!
That's the really big dressing table in the washroom..
Derp and I can't help but to discuss how awesome the washroom is (be it the gents or the ladies) after we came out haha! And to my surprise, he also took photos of it just to show me. Thankfully we were the only ones in the respective washroom at that point of time lol.
We went to explore around the hotel since they does not allow guests to go in and sit yet. And plus we didn't see anyone who went in first so it's okay. Time to take a walk :)
#OOTD taken at the garden. There were rooms which were located at the garden suite. So when they open their room door, it's this outdoor garden. The concept is very different from the other hotels and I think it's interesting especially for those who want to get closer to the nature. They will probably love such rooms!
Anyway, there's also instant photobooth at the wedding venue. We took the chance to take photos again since the backdrop was slightly different as well as the props lol.
:)
We went in to take our seat as soon as we were allowed to.
The beautiful setup
Fresh flowers were used for their floral decoration.
The menu.
Our favourite dish has got to be the dessert!
Chilled Cream of Avocado with Strawberries and Vanilla Ice Cream
Even though there were roughly 40 tables, but the table to table photo taking was well organized and fast. Roughly around 4pm, the whole event ended while the couple and their relatives went for tea ceremony.
Ending this pose with a #welfie of us :)
