seoul 09: part 셋


judy weds! :)

they had their church wedding a while before but their korean ceremony was held in the evening following by a dinner reception. the venue was quite far from out hotel and everyone recommended taking the train due to traffic!! but i realized there was no way i could have made it in my skimpy cocktail dress in the subway. so i had to (very unglamourously) layer my dinner dress with my PAJAMAS!!! daniel was just ok in his dinner suit and his regular dinner coat. so unfair.. needless to say, we got many stares and giggles in the train. haiyar.. need to work on my winter wardrobe a little. it doesn't really cover the basics!!

we made it in the nick of time and caught the bride before the ceremony in her waiting room! :)
yoomee, judy and me..

aww.. just looking at this picture makes me tear up..

sorry for the private note to my ma! she told me im not putting up enought pictures.. she complained i had too many words, not enough pictures... tough crowd!! haha.. back to the wedding!

 

and the gorgeous bride with her multicolour polka dotted toes... im usually not a big fan of high collared gowns generally but it looked ravishing on her. but then again this girl has my heart, i think she looks great in anything! :)


and an extra shot for her jimmy choos! :)


rows and rows of congratulatory flowers. vivrantly coloured, they were a generous mix of all the prettiest flowers!!


a peek down the white petal-lined aisle... see that dude in the tailcoat, not her groom! :) her photographer! he's a jolly guy! :)

and i caught up with a whole bunch of swiss friends! we were seated with them so they could give us a commentary of what is happening and what everyone is saying. sweet!


her handsome groom, lucas walking in to greet the guests first. he's such a cutie!


judy's dad looking very proud giving her away. and she snuck us a quick peek on the way down the aisle..


and left me lusting after her gorgeous crystral-detailed chapel train...


lucas's family during the ceremony. his friends serenaded them with disney classic - "whole new world"..


parting shot of mr and mrs huang!! bye love!! then everyone was invited to feast on an authentic korean spread with all sorts of yummy kimchi things and handmade sushi (kimbab). the newly weds changed into their traditional costumes and went around saying hellos to the guests. then we got invited to a private ceremony with lucas's family which was super fun!!

stay tuned! pictures coming up soon! :)
