Coffee, Tea and a whole lot of us

I was at my cousin's wedding yesterday night. It was held in the ballroom of Hyatt hotel, Johor Bahru. I thought the food was pretty good, as compared to most of the wedding dinners I've attended locally, including one at Shangri-la.

The wedding was a bit like a mini-concert. My cousin used to sing at this music cafe thingy in Johor and has, therefore, a clique of fellow crooners and musicians who saw singing live at her wedding dinner a gesture of warm wishes for her new status. They sure do their trade well cos the songs made the whole dinner outstanding from the usual boring wedding dinner - a good compensation for the long wait to starting dinner. When it comes to weddin dinners, I deem most people are certainly not kiasu about it. We saw people arriving 1 hour later than the time they were supposed to be seated. Terrible.

Design. That's the word.

There were a total of 1 video clip and 2 music slide shows at the wedding dinner yesterday. Mostly of their wedding photos, their growing-up photos, and photos from the preparation for the wedding day itself. All beautifully done up, photos, transitions, animation, music and all. Really professional. Except they didn't have to spend a single cent on all that. My cousin's hubby is a web designer.

Songbirds. Lovebirds.

They met at the music cafe where my cousin was moonlighting. It was love at first sight, I guess. Started over songs, very much a singing-love-relationship. Needless to say, both have excellent vocals.

And the talented groom composed a song for the bride, which he performed yesterday. Sweet.

In the end, I wanna be standing at the beginning, with you.

Enjoy the journey, coffee and tea!
