constance & max

what do you make of a dress code that says 'glamourous formal'? despite the invitation card helpful indication of jackets for men, there was still some head-scratching on my part. this wedding with a difference came with wedding singers and a 4-course western menu.

i had to accompany my mum since dad wouldn't be able to make it in time. the wedding dinner was a cosy affair held at the amara sanctuary resort at sentosa attended by guests who flew in from all over.

didn't know that we were supposed to be seated at the bride's vip table. fortunately, i had dug out my suit to be suitably attired.

and i caught sight of joey when she was up on the stage helping out with the toasting. found out later that she's a friend of the groom. that's how small singapore is.

the friends of the couple put up a mini-musical complete with life-sized caricatures telling the story of their acquaintance and love across the oceans.

interspersed among all these was the 4-course dinner which the elders didn't approve much of. i thought it was refreshing despite my fillet being a trifle overcooked. i supposed a wedding dinner does feel different without the shark's fin soup and abalone. hehe...
