Another small wedding:) I remember when we first met up for discussion, Ana told me that she’s expecting about 1000 guests. In my head, I went, “what?!”. Although I wasn’t too impressed with the number of guests, I really like how she put in effort on all the details to make their wedding special (even though I thought it’ll be a mammoth task for that number). As the date draws nearer, she told me that they have managed to convince the elders to scale it down to a much smaller number and did it in two days. To me, it was good news:)
On the first day, they went through the solemnization at the Arts House followed by a lunch just beside Singapore River. They had a malay band onstage which was pretty awesome. After living almost all my life in Singapore, I didn’t realize that malay music can be so dance-able. Despite the really hot weather, everyone enjoyed themselves. I’m sure the music played a big part.
The dinner on the second day was held at the National Museum of Singapore. I’ve been there a couple of times but never knew that it can be converted into a dining area. The place was nicely done up by Ana herself. It was a relatively simple affair with quite a number of touching speeches and a really nice video by The Wedding Paparazzi. The mood was set by this band called “The Disclaimers“. I’ve heard them a couple of times and they used to play at Highlanders. Let’s just say, I know I’ll enjoy that wedding when I know they are playing.
So this is it, the images… and click here for the longer than usual slideshow:)
The details, in the beautiful Fullerton suite.
The exchange of vows at the Arts House.
If my nephew is getting married. I bet I’ll be as happy as him.
And the party begins 😀
One of those moments they had by themselves.
The preparation for the dinner. I think guys are always more relaxed when it comes to this.
Just love the symmetry in the musuem.
Band-in-charged: The Disclaimers. If you are having a small wedding party, this is the band.
Miles’s dad. I just love that look. Something deep in that gaze.
Two surprises. I bet most of the guests didn’t know Ana can sing that well and I mean REALLY WELL. Surprise #2, no one expected Miles to be pressured into singing… well, I still can figure out it’s a song by Oasis, so that’s a pass!:D
Dancing to the tune of “I’m gonna be (500 miles)” by The Proclaimers. That’s one of the very first CD I got many many years back. Still one of my favorite. If I had drank enough, I’d have danced to that too:D 😀 😀
Love this shot. Miles’s brother’s head just popped into my frame and I can’t help but snap.
End of dinner, when everyone loosens up. It’s always nice to ask, “how did you enjoy your wedding?”
