The reception
Wedding album @ reception
As the coordinator for this wedding, I realized 1 very important thing! You must check all your presentation dvd before hand and make sure it can be played by the dvd / laptop which will be used on the big day! There are some hiccups on the dvd but luckily got it solved before the solemnization actually begins.
The groom brought the ring boy and followed by flower boy and girl. The kids are so funny in action.
Followed by Satoko san and daddy
Solemnization in progress
Officially husband and wife! Omedetto!
The solemnization takes place around 5.30pm, then followed by cake cutting ceremony, cocktail + photography session.

When all the guest are seated in the event hall due to the hot weather outside, the dinner take some time to begin...that's where I think we can improvise. Then followed by the usual dvd presentation of pre wedding photo and childhood montage. There's 1 different thing from our chinese style wedding, there's a lot of idle time in between and I guess it's for the friends and family to communicate more with the couple as well as among themselves. Besides, when the bride went out for the 2nd gown, we have to send her out with all our applause. Then welcome her with big applause as well. That's the time for toasting session. Still, there's a lot of idle time in between. So the idle time is for photography session I assume!
Another pic with the couple that had changed into 2nd gown. Cuz K looked drunk a bit though LOL
I thought maybe the program move earlier than we thought but cuz K wants to stick to his pre arrange time. Then followed by bouquet game and there's a special session whereby the bride reads a letter to her parents thanking them taking care of her so long and thank you note to everyone.
Letters to her parents and thank you note to the guest. Read by Satoko san in japanese and Cuz K translated the speech into Mandarin
There's a lot of leftover food and the hotel does not allow us to pack the food. What a waste. However, I saw the workers move the food into plates and I guess it's for their own consumption instead of disposing it.
What I like about it. The concept - garden wedding, the idle time that allows everyone to mingle around (but not too long)
What can be improvised. The idle time is too long, and the food was just so so. And we cannot pack the remaining food. Coz it's really a waste!
Till then, I'll try to get the pics and post them here. Yuppie! got the pics!
