LONDON. New York. Mumbai. Singapore. Harpdeep and Pearl’s family and friends flew in from all corners of the globe for their grand 4-day wedding extravaganza, cumulating in a final wedding dinner on New Year’s Eve 2010. His relatives alone occupied no less than 26 rooms in the hotel!
Pearl and I must have worked on her wedding plans for almost a year before finally meeting in Singapore. We would squeeze snippets of telephone calls and SMSes in between her training sessions and client meetings at the London law firm where she recently started her first job.
All in, it was a fascinating and eye-opening finish to 2010. I observed Hardeep and Pearl getting married thrice in a Western, Hindu and Sikh manner. This was a delicious reminder why I enjoy weddings in multicultural Singapore. Take a close look at their different outfits over the 4 days.

And a little thank you note from Pearl when I delivered their wedding photos a few months ago:
Just a quick email to let you know that we absolutely love the photos! We spent an evening with Hardy’s parents and a good bottle of red wine looking over them and were completely blown away. You have done such an incredible job, the hard part’s definitely going to be selecting the ones to go into our album…
Congratulations Hardeep & Pearl!
And this monumental wedding marks the last and 47th couple to be posted from 2010. Thank you all.
