'Mr Nice Guy''s close Buddy Francis got married this month at 1-Altitude, the World's Highest Alfresco Bar!
CONGRATS to Francis & Yvonne! :)
The Wedding was Oh So... unbearably Gorgeous, Lavish And Sweet!
And this was 'Mr Nice Guy' and my first time going to a more westernised-style wedding... Very Unique!

A little background on 1-Altitude:
1-Altitude towers at 282 meters above sea level, officially the highest point on Singapore as of today.
Higher than Marina Bay Sands (which is 200m high) leh! Woof!
1-Altitude occupies level 61-63 (the roof) of the OUB Building, comprising 3 unique concepts.

On L61, there's 282 and City Golf.
282 is an interactive sports entertainment venue with LCD televisions screening international sports programs. Perfect place to catch up on the latest sports updates and news.
City Golf is Singapore's highest golf venue, where golfers can tee off from up to 65 world championship golf courses on the advanced simulators, accompanied by tasty tapas and up to 100 different kinds of whiskey.
Eh, we didn't really check out this level coz were too pre-occupied with the gorgeous wedding.

L62 has Stellar, a chic restaurant serving modern cuisine.
Menu was designed by 1-Rochester’s Group Executive Chef Christopher Millar.
Also includes patisserie selection from 1-Caramel.
This is where the Wedding Dinner is held! Very CLASSY!
If you sat beside the windows, you will have a spectacular city view while dining. :)

Henchman 'Mr Nice Guy' was down with high fever the preceding 2 days. What lousy timing yeah?
Hence the kinda pale look.

Pic above: Me, the royal assistant for the royal henchman 'Mr Nice Guy'. Haha
Pic above: The Royal Arrival!
Pic above: Charming Francis and his Princess Yvonne. Sweet Bliss.
Off the carriage went to the royal venue 1-Altitude!
However when our royal carriage reached UOB building,
apparently the promised valet parking service was not around yet??
As more cars arrived, we had to park at the side of the 1-way lane in front of UOB building,
thus ran the risk of obstructing vehicle and human traffic. Hmm...
Pic above: Royal carriage and friend's car awaiting for valet service at the side of the one-way lane
We waited for quite some time at the roadside as more and more friends' cars arrived,
before the issue was finally resolved. Imagine the weird looks from the passerbys.
I was appalled and wondered is this really the service of 1-Rochester Group?
Hopefully, the management of 1-Altitude will look into that.
Wonders was there a little gift for the couple as a compesation for the hiccup? Hmm...
We then went up to Level 63 (the rooftop) for the Solemnization Ceremony.
OMG, It was AWESOME! So High up, so Spectacular view!

Everyone raised their bells representing their best wishes for the couple when the groom and bride walked in. Good idea!
The words were thought of by the couple themselves. Originality!
Princess Yvonne said the words were from the bottom of their heart. Sweet!

Wedding reception celebrations favors, or both. Bridal showers and receptions are important aspects of a wedlock, and what best way to express the importance than by sharing gifts with others. During bridal showers it is more like a public relations exercise, trying to win the heart of in-laws and relatives, and the same extends to reception favors as well. The only important aspect that must be noted being that this is not a professional PR exercise, it is a personal one; you won't be able to win it if it is devoid of the personal touch of your heart.
