Malaysian Chinese Fairy Tale Wedding - Final Chapter

Malaysian Chinese Fairy Tale Wedding - Final Chapter,

Venue : HGH Convention Center, Kuala Lumpur

Date : Saturday 5th November, 7pm 

(but knowing Malaysians by now....you can easily assume they WILL NOT be on time.....after all, "on the way" is one their most favourite expressions....could either mean 15 mins or an hour or two.....so when somebody tells me that they are on their way, I always demand an exact time frame, ........ don't tell me I didn't warn ya)

Event : Keanwai's and Joanne's Grand Wedding dinner,

Guest list : well over 1000 people, inclusive some local tow kay's (in proper English : an euphemism for distinguished and renowned guests.....don't ask me who, 'cause I bleeping don't know them)

With practically all the guests being late, save for some exceptions (but they were rare indeed), we had time on our hand to roam around this grand hall for ourselves.

Phew, I bet there are not that many air-conditioned halls in Kuala Lumpur who are capable of hosting weddings and other events for such a large crowd, ...... 

I suspect that the venue floor manager must have been a decorator in  his/her previous life, 'cause the attention to detail is exquisite, ranging from the flower arrangements, the table settings, stage decoration and appropriate usage of light fixtures.........it sure looks grand and massive indeed. Truly, an appropriate setting for a fairy tale wedding :)  

Kinda shame that in a matter of a few hours, the whole place would be pretty messed up, with F&B spilled over the tables, chairs not aligned anymore, .... 

Well, the 'Family' helped out with attending to the guests, e.g. appointing them to their respective tables, the occasional small talk, making sure that everything was going A-okay, thanking them profusely on behalf of the bride and groom for coming, even though I didn't know every Dick and Harry who was present........and most importantly........collecting the 'ang pows' :p 
(a marriage costs money, no exception in this case, and any form of monetary contribution is more than welcome to cover the expenses, simple as that)

Ofcourse, everything went smoothly, the guests enjoyed the dinner, darn right they did 'cos we pre-tasted it and gave our seal of approval back in Sekinchan....:p....

The DJ's and Emcee played and hosted up to our expectations, what more can you expect?

Almost a year of preparations and so many other prior ceremonies.......it felt like the wedding dinner itself was over in a blink of an eye...

Too much happening in such a short space of time, and truth be told, we felt obliged to make certain everything went as smooth as silk, thus nah, apart from the guests and the bride and groom, we didn't really  immerse ourselves into partying along....but that's not the point, is it? It is after all in honour of the bride and groom that we all had gathered.

After the curtains had dropped, the last guest leaving, we couldn't help but feeling that "This is it" or rather "This was it"......

Returning back home, dead-tired but adrenaline still pumping through our veins, and realizing that we had managed to do our part,....albeit just a small part...


Now it's up to the newly-weds, Keanwai & Joanne, to make their fairy tale marriage successful.....


The omens are good, a better start than this is impossible to find :)
