A 2nd wedding reception in a garden setting we hv attended so far... On 11 Jul 07, we attended Dearie Bro, Soh's & Karina's wedding at Mandai Orchid Garden! It was Dearie's 3rd thou, whr the one he attended alone was at Fort Canning Park, he said it was very hot n uncomfy...
Luckily the ones we attended together as a couple @ Botanic Garden Au Jardin last year & Mandai Orchid Garden on 11 Jul were nice =)
We oso took a few pics of the surroundings, so as to serve as a reference for 1 of my jiemeis, Jieying, who is currently doing some research on possible venues for her ROM in Oct 07! So happi 4 her! =)

Dearie was v notti n "took revenge" on the groom who had thrown flower petals on his face whn we got out of our wedding car last year... haha!
the wedding flavour was a small pot of plant for each guest... the wedding planner specifically instructed us to transfer the plant to a bigger pot when we get home for the plant to grow & thrive... the groom jokingly told us dat wedding flavours at Mandai Orchid Garden are pots of plants whereas it could be some other unique flavour at the Mandai Zoo!
