(1) August 2010
(2) Upwards of $40K but I have never actually sat down to count every penny
(3) Queen Elizabeth's Celebration Pavilion for the ceremony and Westwood Plateau for the reception
(4) I don't know what you're exactly asking here; you've addressed how many guests in question #5 so what do you mean how "big"?
(5) 100 at ceremony; 200 at reception
(6) At the request of my parents, we had the typical tea ceremony in the morning; everything was pretty typical. Western style ceremony with the "I do's" during the afternoon; buffet dinner in the evening that was non-Asian. My parents wanted the typical Asian seafood restaurant but the wife and I were adamant that we are not doing the typical Asian wedding. In the end, everybody loved the food at Westwood and nobody was disappointed.
The wedding day went by fast but it was one of the most memorable days of my life.
To expand on my point made in my earlier post, getting married is not just for the bridal couple. In many families and cultures, getting married is a family affair and it is as much a celebration for family as it is for the bridal couple - sometimes, the celebration is even more so for the family.
