Perth, Australia - Sister's Wedding Part 3

Lunch party was held in the dining hall within the same vicinity. We showed some presentation slides which my sister presented, mainly consisting of those pictures they have taken together so far and after that they came into the dining hall. To be honest, it was my first time attending a European styled wedding lunch party. Usually for Chinese wedding banquet, we would sit in a round table. For my sister's lunch, the couple and their bridesmaid/best man sat with them at a rectangular table (Forgot what it was called...). Lunch was pretty good, I enjoyed the beef for sure!

It was a rather simple, warm and nice lunch party with everyone drinking and mingling around after they were done with the food. My sis also hired a Jazz band to play at the background, making the atmosphere rather classy. Everyone had the same sentiment that it was a beautiful wedding as a whole. These are the last of the pictures for the wedding at Perth.

Perth, Australia - Sister's Wedding Part 2

So everything is set and the ceremony is all ready to go! My sister chose a Jazzy version of "Fields of Gold" to be played as her entrance song. Sounded a little weird but it felt unique, not so normal like other weddings you see on the movie where they always play the same old wedding song.....

It was a pretty quick ceremony and my dad walked my sis up the red carpet and handed her over to my brother in law. My dad seemed so eager to give her away, HAHAHAHA! Just kidding. =P

Then the boring part (to me) of the ceremony started and the emcee was giving speech, blar blar blar, blar blar blar, and then the maid of honour was giving her speech, blar blar blar, blar blar blar, and then the bestman was giving his speech, blar blar blar, blar blar blar, and then that whole round of thingy of saying your oath or something...

After that "you may kiss the bride", some blessings and then my sis starts walking down the red carpet with my brother in law while the song "Grow old with you" by Adam Sandler was played in the background by some "random" guy who brought his guitar all the way from KL to sing that song for his one and only sister. HAHAHAHAHAHAH! =P

I only took picture up till the state where my dad handed my sis over. The rest was captured on video. ^_^

After that it was minggling time and then family photos! Everyone was just gathering around, chit chatting. It was a very happy occasion while I was a busy man! Busy preparing the presentation set up for the lunch party, which I'll talk more about in my next blog entry! =P

The "walk" begins and the bridesmaid starts slow walking first down the red carpet...



There's my sis still waiting for the 2nd bridesmaid to start her walk...



Here is bridesmaid number 1...



Followed by bridesmaid number 2 with my sister following behind SLOWLY....

Finally handed my sis over to brother in law and they walk up to the ceremonial master (forgot what she is called!)

P.S. Just in case you're wondering who that "Random" guy was, its the owner of this blog!

Perth, Australia - Sister's Wedding Part 1

My sister's wedding ceremony was on Sunday morning. It was held at I think Caversham house or something like this and it was open air. We were all praying hard for good weather, but it turns out it was drizzling the entire morning! Even after we arrived there, the drizzle paused for a few minutes, then continued again. We had to make a last minute decision on whether to stay on outdoors or indoors. In the end, my sister chose to stay outdoor and boy, it was one fine decision. When the ceremony was about the start, the rain stopped and it didn't rain for the whole day! What a beautiful weather for a blissful and wonderful occasion! Anyway, here are the pics taken before the ceremony...

This is my brother-in-law's car..



The scenery around the venue..













My dad was suppose to drive my brother in law's car to ferry my sister down, but since it was drizzling, the ground was wet, the host didn't allow us to do it, probably because of fear that the car will get stuck, but my guess is most likely that she was afraid we'll destroy the beautiful grass. =P

So the host ferried my sister in a cabbie instead. LOL!

The official photographer was briefing my sister about something I guess..



My brother in law waiting anxiously for my dad to bring my sister to him. LOL!



Well, let him wait awhile longer. Good things must wait!



I'll share more in Part 2. =P
