Update: Voices @ Central Singapore magazine, Issue 50 of Jan/Feb 2010, featured my photo from Isaiah & Matilda’s wedding to mark a new year and a new decade. The link to the PDF article is here.

And now for Isaiah & Matilda’s long-awaited second wedding day. Part I saw their wedding ceremony at the Bartley Christian Church. Part II sees them bringing their wedding carnival theme and festivities right into the Four Seasons Hotel Ballroom.

Church: Bartley Christian Church
Solemniser: Pastor Mark Lee

One for the makeup artist’s portfolio.

The multitasking and Blackberrying bride.

The bubble machines at work.

And what a loud entrance!

A moment of reflection at the baby grand piano in the foyer.

The surprise congratulatory video from their friends had Matilda laughing and crying.

A kiss-and-tell moment.

And you never knew table shots could be this fun! They came well prepared with artboard and all manner of props.

Best friends forever.

Love even found itself in the guise of yummy desserts.

Congratulations Isaiah & Matilda! Thanks for your lovely hand-drawn card, chocolates and jam from your honeymoon in Australia.

Kimberly gets ready in their bedroom with a magnificent view.

That’s a mirrored wardrobe.

James and Kimberly practice their vow delivery in the comfort of their bedroom while Lizhuang the videographer grins away.

And they continued to practice.

Kimberly’s parents are a really sweet pair, and very much in love.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes welcomed me in their home.

Now for the real solemnisation. James had an immense floral arch brought into their living room for the day.

Kimberly hugs her parents with much joy after the tea ceremony.

And her favorite dog gives her a congratulatory kiss as well!

Kim supervises her best friends just before leaving for lunch at their favorite bistro.

Two of my favorite photos of the day.

The wedding party tucks into an Australian-inspired menu of seafood cooked in different ways.

In the evening things got really, really packed outside their Four Seasons ballroom. One of James’ best friends stands heads-and-shoulders above everyone else.

Kimberly’s aunt and uncle joined A Little Dream and gave an impromptu performance to the unsuspecting couple.

The food & beverage director personally stood outside for the entire evening as the custodian of the 23-year-old vintage Bordeaux wines. No one else was allowed near them. He gently removed their corks, took their temperatures with a digital thermometer, decanted them as shown below and then allowed them to “breathe” before sending them in to be served. Very impressive.

The wedding party unwinds outside as the dinner draws to a close.

And here’s the final tally for the Bordeaux wines. The standard wine bottle size is on the left. For wine lovers the labels in question are Château Canon and Château Léoville-Las Cases. Wikipedia can be so wonderful. These wines were bottled in the mid 1980s when Whitney Houston and Bon Jovi ruled the music charts.

Congratulations James and Kimberly!
