Ken (my cousin) and Beverly (my new cousin-in-law) got married on 30th December 2007 at Boon Lay Raja Restaurant. Instead of the usual dinner banquet, they arranged for a lunch gathering together with the solemnization.
Although the invitation printed clearly that the ceremony would take place at 12.00pm sharp, it actually took place at around 1.30pm. In other words, the guests (including me) waited for one and a hour. I wonder if this is the norm or people just lost their way? *scatch head*
The ceremony started with the newly wed taking the red carpet walk to the stage, where the Justice of Peace was waiting. The followings were definitely the norms.
Justice of Peace's speech (in my own words)
Reading of wedding vows - Groom
Reading of wedding vows - Bride
Exchange of wedding bands
LAST but not LEAST, the newly wed with their wedding certificate!
3-tier Wedding Cake (FAKE - I lost the bet to CK!)
Ken's attempt to pop the Champagne
Cheers to Marital Bliss!
Exchange of Nuptial Wine

Angeline proudly present the 8 course meal from Boon Lay Raja Restaurant. Please kindly pardon Angeline for the missing first course. She was too excited when CK told her that the dragon's head of the cold dish platter was facing her. She immediately shouted, "HUAT AH!" and ate the food down. *bish*
2nd - Shark's Fin Soup
3rd - Roasted Suckling Pig
4th - Steamed Fish (I gave my portion to CK.)
5th - Broccoli with Scallops
6th - Broiled Prawns
7th - Efu Noddles

As a result, Angeline went home with a FAT tummy! Time for zap-zap! Cheers to Ken & Beverly!
