Yong Hui and Hwee Peng's Wedding

Woke up early at 7.30am on Vesak Day for my cousin's wedding. 

Yong is the second in our family to settle down. Times passed so fast, still remember the days where we played soccer together whenever my cousin visited my house. Those memories seem like yesterday.

Visit here to see the post on their ROM.

We reached their home at 9am, just nice before the bride and groom arrived.

The wedding car and its miniature. 
The miniature audi car belongs to Aiden.

Oops, Aiden wanted to get out of his car. Crying for help.
Aiden is now 1 years plus old.

Auspicious number pasted on wall, we bet $10 each on TOTO that day.

Get ready for tea ceremony.

The order of serving tea will follow the seniority. For our case, grandma was served first, followed by the parents, uncles and aunts, and then elder siblings.

After drinking the tea, gifts will be presented to the bride and groom in forms of red packets or jewellery.

Taking break in between while waiting for the next in line to settle down for tea ceremony.
The bride looked so beautiful even though she was tired.

After the tea ceremony,  the pretty bride has changed into her tea dress and was ready to return to her parent's home.

After the ceremony, I headed back home to have a rest before the dinner starts.

Yong's dinner reception was held at Orchid Country Club balloon. Orchid Country Club is one of the best-kept secrets of couples who yearn for an unforgettable wedding. For couples who are planning to get married, Orchid Country Club is one of the places where you can consider holding your wedding reception if you are looking for attractive price package.

Seeing little Aiden again. Such a cutie.

Peach garden combination.
I like all the food served. They are of high quality and on par with the food served at hotel dinner reception.

Braised shark's fin soup with crabmeat, fish raw and bamboo pith. 
Taste delicious. I finished every bits of it. 

Sauteed prawn with salted egg york accompanied with sauteed prawn with cereals. 
This was my favourite dish, I love salted egg prawn.

Steamed sea garoupa in Hong Kong style.

Welcoming the bride and groom in. 
They looked so sup, riding the wedding buggy in.

The couple exchanging their wedding toast.

Followed by the traditional yum seng.

Do you know that there is a total of 3 "Yum Seng"?

Each toast has its different purposes. First toast is for blissful marriage; the second toast is for eternal love; and the third toast for fertility.

Congratulations to Yong and Hwee Peng, wish you a blissful marriage. 

Photo-taking time around the tables.

Traditional braised pork belly with steamed bun.

Braised ee fu noodle with straw mushroom and chives.

Long time no see, bro. Since Chinese New Year till now.
We can go long periods of time without speaking and still feel close to each other.

With the bros.
This seems like the first time we are taking photos together. Hmmm, we should take more photos together in the future.

Back to my seat to finish the last dish, mango sago with pomelo.

Today marks the start of your new journey, may your life be filled with love, happiness and joy.
