John & Sumana by Nicholas |

When Fiona mentioned that Su has a contagious laugh in her recent pre-wedding photoshoot blogpost, little did I know that I would get affected too! Sumana was such a fun and out-going bride it never felt like I was working but rather, someone who was there to capture those beautiful moments. On the day of the “Chip San Leong”, the bridesmaids prepared some “special” games that incorporated Sumana’s half Indian parentage for John and his ‘Heng Tais’. Lucky for Sumana, John was quite a pro when it comes to dressing himself with a saree and he even performed some indian dance moves! Another task they had to do was to drink a baby bottle of beer, which I suppose didn’t challenge them at all because they even did a “yam seng”, shows how much they love their beer! Finally, John had to break a few coconuts by smashing them on the floor which was easy peasy for him too!
Their wedding dinner was held at two places on two different dates, the first reception was dedicated to family and in many ways, was the ‘warm-up’ to the wedding party for friends which took place one week after!
John & Sumana’s second wedding reception was held at Ciao restaurant, a cozy bungalow with a beautiful garden located off Jalan Tun Razak. I’ve never heard of that place before and honestly when I was there, it was such a lovely place! Thanks to the team at I Do Weddings, there were pretty decorations everywhere that brought the place to life and filled it up with romance!
The evening started with an intimate exchange of vows ceremony with families and close friends, followed by a mini impromptu photo session with friends. The atmosphere that night was filled with love and laughter. During the speech by the bestman, he revealed that John loves the song “Moves like Jagger” by Maroon 5, and whenever he listens to it, he will dance. So John being the sporting groom, brought it onto the dance floor and everyone enjoyed the groom’s unique dance moves! The rest of the night was filled with wonderful music and dancing, including special performances by their friends!
Once again I would like to congratulate John & Sumana and I wish the both of them the best in married life!
