An outdoor wedding and a lousy hotel Pt2

We arrived at the Dawood family beach house all ready to see the bride and groom and catch up with some old friends from school. Most of them looks familiar while some I can't quite remember lol!

We were directed to the reception area in the backyard and man, I must say the place is HUGE! (And this is only the outdoor).. There was a nice big swimming pool, which made the boys really excited as they thought they were going for a swim! It was quite a challenge peeling them away from the water..

Beside the pool was a small table and chair where we wrote in the guestbook (Buk insisted he should write his own name - and he did, as big as possible.. taking up quite a bit of the page =p)
A flight of steps led us to the garden filled with tables, chairs, 2 canopies for the caterers and deejays and a stage). Right in front of the garden is the beach. We enjoyed the sounds of the waves and the wind blowing in our hair while boys sat in a swing nearby. It was a lovely evening.

Soon the crowd started pouring in and we see a few familiar faces.. Got ourselves a table while everyone waits for the bride and groom's memorable entrance. Kids were hungry so we got some food for them (although we should have waited hehe).. Then I saw Ridzwan on a bike.. Not any ordinary one but a classic old-school bike in mint condition. I thought to myself that's a darn cute looking bike lol..

Then the deejay announced the arrival of our dear lovebirds and how do you think they appeared? On the cool looking, classic, old-school, mint condition bike, of course! =D They went on the stage and thanked us for coming and a lil joke from Lan on how he's taken now (and he later said to me that he's now grown up when we met them) - Must have been something I said to him on FaceBook on his birthday last year ;)

We're really happy for them.. On their union as a wedded couple. May Allah S.W.T blesses them and may they enjoy their new found bliss... =)
