A quick shot of them both.
At Mandarin Oriental. We had a cocktail reception prior to serving lunch.
Stage Decor - very simple with the wedding set-up using candle chandelier, champagne glass formation & wedding cake with background light to warm up the atmosphere.
Two different kind of thank you gift, placed at alternate sitting.
One - a heart shape ball bearing which jingle & tinkle when shaked.
Two - a set of "wedding measurements" that gives you the perfect measurement for a perfect wedding.
A pinch of joy, A dash of tenderness, A spoonful of affection, A heap of love.
Lionel & Rachel.

First dish - Mandarin Oriental Combination Platter - silver baits, roasted eel, prawn salad & roasted pork. ( but i saw lobster salad too).

Both kids enjoyed the soup. They even had a second helping.

All gone.
Daddy asked me to use the table napkin to put under Rachel's chin , to prevent her from dirtying her clothes.
Fourth dish - Scallop - stir fried with XO sauce & served with deep-fried yam apple . ( This dish is a little spicy so the kids ate only the yam balls)
After the 2nd grand entry ( i had a video below), this is the champagne pouring ceremony. May u both be blessed with eternal bliss.
