Wedding Dinner at Marina Mandarin
DD’s friend was holding her wedding dinner at Marina Mandarin, the building next to Marina Square. It took us a long walk to the POSB ATM near the cinema and back to the bridge connecting CitiLink and Marina Square. We were still early, 7pm is way too early to arrive at a traditional Chinese wedding dinner.
Not to forget that it was a weekday night whereby traffic jams are normal. Eventually, it started at around 8.15pm. I love the first march in song, Canon in D Major. I think it was a violin version. Anyone playing the electric guitar version?
Obviously, the bride was looking lovely with her hair done up with lovely curls. It was the first time I saw that only the bridal photos were shown on screen. No history of the bride and groom, and no video montage of the morning activities. I guess it was good enough since dinner had started late.
The dinner was at level one, 35 tables with enough space to walk in between. I like. The wedding gown takes up space, so there must be enough space between the tables. A pillarless concept between the rooms. I like that too. The food was good. I demand more Shitake mushrooms!
After the dinner, I have gained more in weight. I still have another round in Dec 2009, Jan 2010 and July 2010! I guess it’s the time of the age whereby friends are getting married around this age.
