Jacky & Em's Reception

«« | home | »»

It's been a beautiful long weekend so far, one of the highlights being Jacky and Em's wedding which Joel and I attended in the Chinese Garden of Friendship yesterday, and kept the celebrations running at the Fisherman's Wharf Restaurant later. Everything was truly lovely and you wouldn't have realised that lots of the organisation was pretty much done in the month leading up to the wedding....you guys are very talented, and very, very good lookin'!!

My one regret was the fact that we were running late...and being in heels and a little dress, I didn't think I could run up a flight of stairs and get to the place on time with 10kg of camera equipment on my back. Actually I'm not sure how heavy it is, but I missed it as soon as we got there all flustered and realised we had heaps of time to spare. It ended up being heaps closer than anticipated but oh well!


So here are some pics from the reception instead. The smiles pictured on the cake below were an understatement of reality. Em and Jacky have been together something like 10 years....so you can imagine how elated they were to finally tie the knot!

Love their bombonierres, these little sweeties looked so peacefully content.

Though I've been to many chinese weddings, this was seriously the first time I've ever seen lion dancing to usher in the bride and groom. Much love, prosperity and good fortune to you both!!

For those of us who knew Em more than we knew Jacky, there was a side to him that we hadn't seen (or heard) before. The sweetest rendition of umm...some Lee Hom guy's song that Em loves.

And here's Em clapping along as she enjoys her serenade. (Love.That.Dress!!)

Special mention to Muzza the birthday boy driver....just getting into theme as 'Men In Black' plays in the background. Hope you thanked the bride and groom for your Party Table #6 haha! Happy 26th!

Your wedding was beautiful and fabulous and so much fun all at once, thanks for having us there to share it with you. Take care on your honeymoon, we know you'll have a great time.
