A pictorial posting

On a Wedding, a Birthday and food.
A little belated post on a wedding. Its been a long while since someone close or in the family got married. Evelyn and Marcus tie the knot on July 7 .
 Beautiful couple, a perfect match
 The bridesmaids waiting to prank the Groom's entourage with their mischievous games
 One of the numerous games the Groom's entourage had to endure on behalf of the groom before he is allowed to meet his bride.  Thereafter, the  customary 'Yam Cha"  Ceremony (Tea Ceremony) for only family members and  relatives
Yours truly n DH taking the sip
 Bride and Groom on the next journey for another round of 'yam cha" with the Groom's parents and relatives
 Reception & Dinner at Concorde Hotel in the evening

1st Platter from the 9 course meal
Can't do without for such an occasion, sharksfins & crabmeat
On Saturday night, we celebrated FIL birthday with about forty people at this Triple Round Restaurant located at Bukit Beruntung which took us about an hour's drive
The first platter from the 9 course meal
Told you we can't do without this, Sharkfins served in individual mini pot and I like mine added with pickle chillies
Their signature Steamed Dragon Garoupa
Que to start singing...
Two generations .. toasting

Finally one for the album

Well, that's about it with this posting, I can still go on with the photos but you'll be bored.  I think you get it how the celebration goes from these.
In between of the two event, I have been crocheting bits here and there with nothing completed, some things to plan and prep, been working out on some vision and bits of stitching, a new start actually. All of these I will reveal in stages including a pincushion exchange.
And if you are still reading this line, thank you for coming by and I hope you enjoyed this non-crafting update.

What a beautiful couple. It was so nice to see how you celebrate marriage. Love the idea of the Tea Ceremony - very meaningful.
