Wedding in Bali

Congratulations to Sophie & Adi

Ting Fong and I were attending our friend's wedding in Bali last weekend, my fourth trip to the island destination, and I must say, it's a great place to hold your big day if you can actually afford it. And it's certainly the destination, if you actually have family, colleagues and friends that cuts across some half a dozen nations - Malaysia, India, Singapore, China, UK, US and more.

Sunset Dinner @ Villa Atas Ombak

The wedding was held at the luxurious Villa Atas Ombak by the Seminyak beach. The villa comprises of only 5 bedrooms, where the newly wed as well as their closest relatives stayed. The rest of some 150 guests stayed at the various villas and hotels all around Seminyak.

And for those who are contemplating getting married, whether locally or at exotic overseas destinations, you can contact Ng Shen Yi of "I Do Weddings" wedding planner. She planned and coordinated this "international" wedding, which was not only held overseas but brought together 2 families from India and Malaysia, while the bride and groom were crisscrossing London and Singapore. It's certainly no mean feat!

The flower girls: Megan, Xin Ying & Isabella

That's the missus, the princess and the one with a lot of grey hair ;-)
