sun was an interesting day for me...went wif my mum qte earli in the morning to ritz cartlon for an indian wedding..one of my close eng tuition teachers i had when i was i sec sch..her daughter is gettin married...
the hotel and the grand ballroom is alr grand and posh looking...n the deco added in mk it even more elegant lookin...roses and some of those indian flowers r thr..is pretty but im tryin qte hard to stay some distance away from all the flowers...
candles and roses....
indian style...
unlike the usual cocktail having soft drinks ard..thr is a variety of tea we can choose frm...which i tink is beta...haaaaa..get to hv a my fav earl grey..
den we went in to c the traditional indian wedding ceremony..was pretty long and thr r loads of procedures..groom will get blessing frm the prist first..den the bride..and den both of them...i had to ask my mom's indian friends for some translation...realli dun understand wad they doin...
den i knew..the bride hv to sort of hit their heads to show their respect to the elephant god...the bride hv to wear loads of gold on her body..bangles and necklaces..n this is similar to our chi kinda wedding when the bridesmaid tried to bid for more angbao money b4 the groom gets into the bride hse...roughly the same theory but exhibited in a diff way..
couple walking ard in circles for blessing..
the most interesting part for me is dat the groom hv to kneel down and put the toe ring for the bride...kinda similar to putting the ring on the finger...dat would mean dat the grrom nw truely posess her...
n all of us gt this yellow rice..n to be thrown towards the bride n groom when ceremoney ends...
was an eye opener for me...
pretty tables n chairs...
our table...rose petals in the middle..
they even got professional indian musician to play..
the buffet lunch was pretty good too..all indian food and i guess all r curries--fish,chicken,vege...n veri nice bread..i get to try the indian icecream tooo..has this spice taste iniside....also chatted with some of my mom's old colleagues= teachers in my sec sch....
one of the buffet areas...
all red...or orange..
n desserts....
