Vincent Wong n Siew Fong (3)

Dinner was at the Mines Beach and Spa Resort. It was meant to be a beach party. However, the skies were not cooperative and it drizzled causing a last minute change to a sit down table setting in the restaurant.

Yours truly was co-opted to be the MC for the night. Confusion reigned for the first hour or so as the hotel staff struggled to lay out the tables and numbered them so that guests could be properly seated. One of the people at my table added to the confusion by swapping the numbers around as he preferred a particular table that he was seated at. That table was reserved for Esther's brother and relatives!

The night started with an invitation to Pastor Michael to bless the couple and give thanks for the food. With that gorging began.

The Yam Seng toast was suppose to start at 8pm but got delayed as the groom had left the wine at home. Luckily that was nearby. So I spent some time to help collect all the ang pows (red packets) to count and collate. Lesson I learn from V and M's wedding, you need a lot of helpers in all the activities from front desk reception all the way to the end of the day. And Vincent's dinner could have done with more helpers!

When the wine arrived, I did my assigned job as MC, got the couple through the pouring of the wine and did just one round of Yam seng (as agreed with the groom) and went back happily to gorging myself.

As people started leaving, we decided to call it a day

Congratulations Vincent and Siew Fong! May your lives be white haired together.
