the wedding reception we attended on 11/11/06 is actually a ROM solemnisation ceremony, followed by lunch of french cuisine at Au Jardin...
the bride looks so sweet, in her wedding gown, with a flower band / 'tiara' on her head... her hair was let down and her gown was made-to-measure (at flamingo bridal)... there were pink & white rose petals on the footpath where the bride's father would lead the bride to the solemnisation table where the solemniser and groom were waiting... the jiemeis oso held cones of rose petals where they would scatter on the newly weds after they had exchanged their vows and walked down the footpath... the feeling was very much like a church wedding... the bride also threw her bouquet of flowers to the awaiting single ladies... in fact, the newly weds had wanted to hold at Chijmes but 11/11/06 was fully booked...
the solemniser was a caucasian man, about 60+ years old... he looks so jolly and looks like the old man from KFC (as what the bride's grandmothers remarked to us upon seeing him) haha!! the newly weds prepared their own wedding vows and thank you speeches which brought tears to the bride's grandmothers... me touched too and tears welled in my eyes too :)
our wedding videographer, christopher from hilo productions was introduced by the bride then... had thot will see him on sat, but he was fully booked on 11/11/06... so no chance to thank him again for what he had done for our wedding...
the sky was overcast towards the end of the solemnisation, which was outdoors... luckily, it didn't rain until we proceeded to the restaurant for lunch! :)
11 nov is also the 28th yr wedding anniversary of dearie's parents! so coincidental! his mum was grumbling that she was not invited to the ROM, and relive this special dae... dearie & his dad see no sense in her logic... haha!! anyway, the guests were all very young, about 20 to 30yrs old, minus the newly weds' parents & grandparents...
at least we learned something new... for french cuisine, the bread should be on our left... but the other guests at our table felt it should be on our right... in the end, i "missed" my fork n had to ask to the waiter for an additional fork... he looked confused when he passed me the fork as there was an additional fork in front of the guest opposite me... the white wine served during lunch was very nice, wif a nice after taste... we made a mental note to check wif the bride...
