Love is a many splendoured thing…

The wedding reception of the newly-weds, my nephew, Nicholas and his wife, Jeanette, was held at the Kuching Hilton…

…no less, with all its grandeur…

…and splendour…

There were fresh flowers, white roses and lilies, all over the ballroom, outside in the foyer where drinks and tidbits and light finger foods were served prior to the dinner – I loved the egg with bits of bacon and whatever else and I so loved the cream puffs that I just had to have my fair share of those…and of course, there were lots of those lovely flowers inside the ballroom as well…

This was the setting at the main table…

…and this was the wedding cake…

…on the stage.

This was a group photo of some of us – the grand-aunties, uncle and aunties and cousins…

*Photo taken by one of my cousins or the hubby of one of them*

…from the groom’s side of the family, taken before the dinner started. No, no, this was just about 25% of those of us present there that evening – not everybody was in the photograph…and no, I wasn’t the only rose among the thorns. There were others, not that many…but yes, there were a few more. LOL!!!

The food was great – we certainly enjoyed all that was on the menu…

…but I did not bother to take a snapshot of each of the dishes on the menu as it was quite dim and I was pretty sure the photographs would not come out too well. In fact, I did not take many photographs that evening, just one of the toast…

…using the zoom feature in my camera – I was too lazy to walk to the front (I was seated at the back beside one of the doors, just perfect for me to step outside once in a while for a bit of fresh air).

There was a jazz band in attendance…

…so there was dancing towards the later part of the night.

It sure was a lovely evening, lots of smiles and cheer…and indeed, I was glad to be part of it all.
