Garden Wedding

One of my dear friends from high school returned to Penang last week for her wedding. It was held in Lone Pine Hotel, and all I could say is: it's splendid. It's a garden wedding and it's my first time attending one. The extent of preparation from her family and friends was evident from the overall decoration, to the teeny-weeny details. All aspects were taken care of to ensure that the wedding reception was a smooth one.

It was a western-style wedding, complete with speeches from the bride's father, brother, to the first dance performed by the bride and groom. The food served was a Chinese 8-course dinner though. I believe this is due to the fact that most of the guests were Chinese. The dinner was nice. Throughout the 8-course, no mosquitoes bit me so far although I was sitting at one of the tables in the garden! :)

OK, I think pictures speak louder than words. So enough of blabbing from me and time to show you some shots taken during the wedding.

After which, the couple poured champagne into the glass fountain

And finally, we went home with a doorgift for everyone - a nice set of keychains made of pewter!
