Magdalene's Wedding....

Finally!! The last post for the Lim Family's September 2007 Australian Saga... Posting this on two sites is kind of tiring, (since i had to sort, and edit both posts to fit both blogs, or sentences might have been left hanging etc...)

Although i'm only loading the pictures once, but my connection uploads really, really slow, or i think it's blogger's fault, because even last time (when i was in the UK) when i had to post pictures, it takes eons to load.. so that's it for the Australian trip, and maybe later i will post somthing here bout my tour guide stint for my brother's girlfriend in December.. but that is another story...

As usual, if i post my Malaysian Tour Guide stint, Generation Lim will get a cut down summarised version as compared to my original blog... So, it's something for everyone to look forward too.. (or not....)

But i digress, and now time for the commentary & pictures...

The night before the wedding, saw us being invited to a brewery called the Mash brewery for a round of drinks & snacks sponsored by the bride and groom.. it was a very lively event, as the friends and relatives of the bride and groom sat down together to drink, and chat... (the Snacks weren't bad either..)

It even seemed as if the bride and groom were having a reunion with their friends.. it looked fun, and as for me, i tried different types of brew (beer?).. and discovered there is more to beer than just barley hops, but the combination of many other things.. an interesting event...

The travelling companions (haha, ok part of the Lim Family) all sitting together at a table, enjoying the drink and food... Picture taken by uncle HP, that's why he isn't in it.. :p

The three cousins, with our uncle Robert who decided to join in after seeing us taking some pictures... :p

Unfortunately, i don't really have any pictures of the tea ceremony as PK and the professional photographer were taking the pictures, and from my stand point, it was very hard for me to take the pictures. hence what i have here are the pictures that I took, while waiting for the groom to come over, to begin the tea ceremony....

The golf course spans out behind us.. three cousins, braving the morning's chilly air to take some pictures together...

The bride in her pretty green cheong sam and i... waiting ever so patiently for the groom to come over, for the ceremony to begin...

Later in the morning, after the tea ceremony, all of us bundled into the car, to head to the St. Mary's Catholic Church for the wedding Ceremony, between our cousin Magdalene & Glenn..

The church on the outside, and the father of the bride, waiting for the bride, to walk with her into the church..
The ermm... booklet for the ceremony, stating the bride and groom's names, the date and the church name.. i.e St Mary's church. click to enlarge and read..

After the ceremony, everyone was happily grouping around to celebrate the new happily married couple :p

So much for the church wedding.. Now, on to the Wedding Dinner, which was held in a golf course's (i think, can't remember...) ball room...

it was really romantic, with the chandelier, and all the candles.. it had a quaint feel with all the barrels stocked by the side..


The Lim Family at the wedding dinner..... i should be standing at the back, since i'm kind of tall, and therefore will block people.. but i didn't have time.. as i had to pass my camera to someone to help us take the picture...

A cousin Picture!! Yen ping, Yen Ling, PK and me..

It wasn't a bad night.. though i noticed that compred to Lorena's (my sister's ex-collegue in Prague) that asians are kind of shy to get onto the dance floor to dance, which resulted in me, dragging my cousins out to dance.. (as i m sure Ling and PK will remember :p)

Similiar to the post on us touring Australia, this post is similiar, in the sense that it was cross posted & summarised from Oracl3. So for more pictures and for a (possibly) more amusing commentary, click on the links below, to head over to my blog..
