My Youngest Brother's Wedding on 27th Sept '10

The Bridal Chariot



The newly wed offering tea to the ancestors



The date was 27th Sept 2010 - Monday, 0930hrs, a bright and not so early Monday morning while many had their Monday blues, my youngest brother - Andy and his galfriend - Eileen of many years chose to get married on this day.



 It was quite nerve racking for the family as the inital choice of bridal car wasn't available a week prior to the wedding and the hunt was on for a substitute - a Audi Q5, Volvo S60, VW Passat CC, Nissan Cefiro and the groom even wanted to use his own Honda Jazz - OMG! Luckily he was able to pull it off with a loan BMW 3 Series Coup with a beautiful golden number of 8383.

My Parents starting off the tea ceremony

 It was a quiet affair as it was a working day for many, so the tea ceremony was very much attended by only close family relatives and friends only. Nonetheless, my mum's karaoke kaki turned out in full force to whip up a sumptous buffet spread of ngo hiang, fish balls, curry chicken, fried mee sua, kueh kueh and desserts too. Yum Yum...

 That's my boy - Ashton, all dress up for the wedding banquet too, who is still very shy throughout the whole day due to seeing many unfamilar faces and was even reluctant to open the bridal car door that morning. Luckily we had a backup plan if not the bride would have problem getting out of the car already. Despite being such a talkative and mischevious in his daily routine, he is actually quite a timid kid. I guess that's why people say, God is Fair lah. *LOL.

The solemnisation ceremony at the Hotel

The Solemnisation Ceremony and the wedding banquet were held at the Orchard Hotel. Interestingly despite my younger brother and his galfriend being quite close to the Justice of Peace (JP) on a personal level, they didn't took the advantage to get hitch first, what an irony right? Perhaps next year guys?
Anyway, for the benefit of my parents, the ceremony was conducted in Mandarin which many of us was surprised that my brother could speak quite fluent Mandarin seriously despite working around Ang Mohs most of the time.

Well as you can see that I didn't managed to take much pictures during the dinner as we were all busy entertaining guests. Besides, my camera on my E71 phone sucks at low light conditions so even if did take, don't think the photos will turn out well though.

Though it was a tiring affair for all of us especially my parents whom have been busy a couple of weeks before the wedding day but seeing the smiles on everyones' faces and catching up with many old relatives, friends and making it a truly joyous occasion for my brother - Andy and his lovely wife was well worth it.

So to Andy and Eileen, congrats once again and we wish both of you everlasting happiness. Cheers!
