Lena's wedding

Only attended the wedding from the tea ceremony and thereafter, the stories in my perception is as follows. It was 11am and we were all gathered at the brides home awaiting for the bride and groom arrival from the in-law place at Jurong. Meanwhile, we had our buffet lunch and some photos taken. The wedding car arrives at 12pm and tea ceremony proceed as norm.

Almost everyone who involved in the ceremony is in this picture. Picture consist of uncles, aunties, cousins and niece.

The youngsters

After the ceremony, the older generations retreat back home whilst the youngsters had a break at Swisstoel. The newly wed had one executive suite and two standard room to their name. The suite was spacious with living room, dinning room, bed room and two toilets. The standard room was cosy with warm hue and a balcony which faces Clark Quay. Winnie (the oldest cousin) proceed to have a dipped at the pool with the brothers while the rest of us head to Central for a munch.

We headed to witness the newly wed solemnization by the pool side.

Us again.

Last but not least, the climax of the event, the wedding dinner. Out of courtesy of Lena, our dinning seats were allocated according to age groups.

As we are in our comfortable skin , all etiquette were ignored. My cousins keep disturbing the poor waiter and waitress that is responsible for our table. When the waiter was serving tea, my cousin claim that the purpose for the tea, was not to quench thirst but to wash all the utensils. He even ask the waiter to verify his theory. Worst, he utter that the waiter was his secondary school friends while peering at his name tag for his name. When he offer us for more drink, my cousin requested for hot coke. When my cousin ask for a change in soya sauce (as ours was spoilt giving a sour taste), he says that the letter "S" inscripted on the bottle represent "sour" instead of "sauce". The rest of the cousin began to chirp in by requesting him to serve our table first. When he was holding the cold dish at the main entrance, my cousins noticed and pointed towards him while exclaiming that our food had arrived. However, due to much disappointment, he served the other table first, leaving us with no food. When he dash back to kitchen to claim more food, we demanded an explanation on how we had no food.

The rowdy us even had a plan up our sleeves. During photo taking, no adults should pop up to join us for photo taking at our table, however, we shall crash into their photo taking session.

In general, the wedding is an extravagant one with great door gift (cute couple luggage tag). However, there is lesser interaction with the newly wed (no solemnization as it is done in the early evening and no singing of praises.) which allow the family and friends to have early night.

Last but not least, my favourite picture of the day for the simple reason that almost everyone is in it. Some uncles were sadly cropped off from the picture.
