the Wedding

Today's the big wedding day, at the mansion where all the internationals were staying (yes, there were a lot more of us than me or even Ruben had expected) , we all got put into a bus to have breakfast at the brides' mansion (food is a theme in Singapore). Eventually the groom arrived and all the men had to go out for the teasing of the groom, where they made Ruben do stuff to 'earn' his bride), think of stuff such as singing 'hoofd, schouders, knie en teen' (a dutch song), reading a letter in Chinese and doing other games.

Eventually Ruben earned Wendy, we all moved on to Ruben's place (nice!) for a few quick snaps and a quick tour for the internationals, before we left for 'the Great Shanghai'-restaurant. Table arrangements got Martijn and Roos at our table (made sense) and we got to go through an 8 course meal which also taught us to use chopsticks in more and more surprising ways (probably unintentional, but still....)

After dinner, we went back to our mansion, continued party-preparations, showered and then had a big dinner. I told you that food was a theme(!). After the dinner a big party started and eventually we all passed out in bed again...
