Have you ever thought of having your wedding on a cruise ship?

It would be a tremendously awesome experience for you, won’t it?

There are so many benefits. Beside providing yourself with a different wedding experience compared to your friends who have the ordinary weddings, I’m confident that your guests would have thoroughly enjoyed your special wedding.

You can also immediately have your honeymoon while your guests would be able to go for a short getaway on the cruise ship.

Hey! The night is still young after the wedding party and there are many options for a wild night get away before you retire to your room to rest.

I was browsing through the net and saw that now you can even book your cruise vacation online.

You know in wedding planning, one of the things you will plead for more is -not money, but time.

Booking online certainly help save you a day or two.

Who say going for cruise wedding is bored?

After a hectic morning, finally the newly wed could make their way to the hotel – Regent Hotel.

Time really flew past quickly and soon, it was time for lunch.

For my cousin, she had a wedding lunch for her family, relative and guests.

And most importantly, the newly-wed can rest after a busy day.

Wedding is very, very, very tiring!

After having some fun during the wedding game, at least for me, the groom finally could enter the home and meet his bride.

Normally for a typical Chinese wedding custom, the groom will first go to the bride’s home and bring her back to his home to meet his own parents and then make another return trip back to the bride’s home.

There would be suckling pig and mandarin oranges to be brought back from the groom’s home back to the bride’s home as a form of wedding gift and they also symbolise good fortune for the newly wed.

At the groom’s home, there will be offering of tea to his parents and relatives and cousins in order of seniority.

For cousins who are younger, they will offer tea to the newly-wed, and in return, they will get red-packets with money inside. This signifies blessings from the newly-wed.

My cousin is rather an emotional girl and she was Continue Reading »

After the church wedding in the morning, we went back home for a rest.

It was soon night time and we were off to Stuart and Kloudiia’s wedding party in Upper Club, CHIJMES, Singapore.

Before we went, some of us met for lunch and we were discussing if it was of a sit-down type with round tables and chairs and if we were lucky enough, we could see a wedding dance from the newly-wed.

When we were there, we were kinda of surprised.
