so anyway.. the venue was at Oriental Ballroom - another reason to get me all excited as this is also my first time attending a wedding at the Oriental.. and i heard from Kelly that after the renovations, they have become a 6 star hotel and of course it is a dinner worth going to..
I went there with my dad and when we reached there at 7.30pm.. the ballroom is already filled with guests.. and most of my relatives are already there.. one look at my cousin. and there is really only one word to describe her.. STUNNING.. she look drop dead gorgeous with her dreamy tube wedding gown.. I didnt have the chance to go up to her to extend my congratulations to her..instead i loiter around the reception area which was a big and exclusive area.. the ballroom was opened at about 15 mins later and it was indeed a unique shape.. of a fan..the oriental logo i guess.. so there was lots of gossip and news to be updated between the uncles and aunties who probably are the happiest since this is the only time that they are able to gather together.. I managed to PR a bit with my other cousins..and I am just amazed that all of us are all grown up..
The dinner started promptly at 8.30pm.. with the usual presentation of a photo montage..I know most of you will tell me that it is so cliche.. but i tot it is still a nice gesture for family, relatives, friends to look back at the past pictures and have a great time laughing at past hairstyles and looks.. :)
The ambience was very cosy and the food was fantastic and the service excellent.. the waiters changed plates like after every course and wats unique is that the shark fins are like served on invidual big bowls and you can actually chew on shark fins.. so its really top quality.. the dishes are unique as well.. we have lobster and prawn salad as a cold dish and chocolate cake as dessert.. the only drawback was probably the wedding favors which is in the shape of an angel but well.. the angel.. do look mortified..
well. think its was a really memorable wedding dinner.. and oh yes.. when my cousin changed to her evening gown.. it was like disney deja vu.. i was still telling lilian about a yellow evening gown when my cousin wore a v-neck yellow evening gown.. I tot i saw belle.. hehe.. its amazing.. and it does help that she is a beauty...well.. they are going to New Zealand for honeymoon.. hope they enjoy themselves.. sigh.. i am still lost in the wedding bliss today i guess.. and the amazing part of it all.. they have been dating for 10 long years.. i think a lot of couples are ending their 10 year run this year.. :)
