I was at such a romantic, dreamy, near-perfect wedding last night.

The venue was held at Capella in Sentosa, a quiet colonial style hotel atop a gentle hill. It was surrounded by lush greenery. The interior -- soft orange lighting, high wooden doors and ceiling, beautiful walls and victorian rose stands. The two video monitors were so sharp and vivid, unlike many blurred flimsy screens I've seen at other weddings.

The bride's gown was almost perfect.. it was light and fluffy with soft flutters.. simple, classy and nothing elaborate. the only thing to pick on is perhaps that the train was a little too short in my opinion.

A band was singing love songs throughout the night -- and their singing was actually good and helped to set the atmosphere right. just simple classic tunes, nothing cheesy..

And most importantly, what made the wedding so memorable was the love that came through and swept through the hall so obviously.. the way the couple gazed at each other, the way they kissed naturally without any discomfort and uneasiness, the very meaningful and sincere speeches that made so many tear at various points. And how so many people could provide testimonials to their deep bond and so obviously share their joy. This is one of those marriages which I'm sure would last a lifetime.. the respect and commitment for each other was so easily witnessed in the couple.. and I'm so happy for her, who is a very sweet girl indeed.

The wedding was also very well organized and planned. I was surprised when there were like about 8 ushers waiting for guests at the entrance of Capella when Kai dropped me off.. and a lady even walked me down the hall. Emcees were eloquent in both English and Mandarin -- again a very rare encounter. Guests were all well dressed, guys all came in suits, and many ladies in gowns or long dresses. I felt so under-dressed.. =( Overall, it was an unhurried affair and everyone actually looked happy on a sunday night.

Gosh this is like a dream wedding for many girls, but most of us can only be wistful, given the bomb it would cost to host it like this.

Just back from HK on Sat night.. too much to say, will blog another time. In a nutshell, it was a fantabulous trip and i wish i never came back.... =(
