Nicholas and I covered Tim & Michelle’s wedding a few months back and I can safely speak for the both of us when I say, boy it was indeed a special wedding! We’ve never met the couple before, but they did have a wedding website and from there, we saw that they were a nice couple, like all couples. So it was going to be the typical wedding where the quiet mat salleh groom was to be ‘bullied’ by the asian wife’s chi muis, and he was just going to have to endure that. Quietly.

On the contrary! Tim was a hoot! And he definitely wins the best groom award! He was freaking hilarious! Why you ask? Have you ever seen a groom and his groomsmen dressed up as hotel staff? and being caucasians, and them trying to fit into asian-sized uniforms…. with bedroom slippers provided by the hotel, it was an interesting morning indeed!!!

To calm their nerves, the boys had a round of beer at 8a.m. while the chi muis prepared their usual poison which included belacan and durian pancake. Even the hotel staff had to politely ask the chi muis to put those pungent food outside, worried that the entire hotel lobby would stink! (It’s alway interesting to see foreigners try to eat durian. Its like poison to them!) The fun had only just begun!

Michelle, the bride shared an interesting tip, she can pack her bags for a trip in 15 minutes! The perils of being a jet setting employee of a multi-national company. I think she’s been living in too many countries throughout her whole working life, and she hopes that she’ll be able to stay in one place just for once.

Towards the end of the night, when dinner was almost wrapping up and as we were about to wrap up too, Tim came up with a request for one last photo with his groomsmen, an interesting photo indeed. Look towards the end of this post for that!

Congratulations Tim and Michelle, I have no doubt that your lives together will be filled with joy and laughter, every second of every minute!
