My sister big day



We are really thankful that the wedding went smoothly.

The venue, Tirtha Ulluwatu it just such a lovely place by it self. It is no doubt that Tirtha Ulluwatu is on the third list of the best wedding venue in Bali. An open sea is sitting as the background of the chapel. The place is owned by Japanese. You could see some of the Japanese architectural and simplicity around the places. Even on the flowers arrangements, are very minimalist. It's very ikebana style. I also noticed the shoji (sliding door). The food was really really nice, it's unique in each way. Even though it was buffet, but it just not like what you would have normally at Jakarta wedding receptions, even if they are in 5 stars hotels.

The whole atmosphere was just nice. Except the party ended pretty early as we couldn't stand with the heat anymore, especially the boys. It was just so humid all the time at Bali. But I guess it's better than raining. We all had a good time.

The funny part is the bride was joining the after party (which was drinking wine beside the pool area) since the groom just collapse to the bed. Well, we glad that he actually made it through the wedding since he was having a fever on that wedding day. I must say everyone got sick in Bali.

Even the bride, she got her foot bitten by black ants and got her foot swollen. We were worried so much that she couldn't even walk the aisle. The day before the wedding her foot still swollen so big that couldn't even fit into the wedding shoes.

Oh, I forgot to mention that back in Brisbane when we had to check in the flight, I realised I only had my old passport with me. So I had to rush back home to get it. Luckily I made it in time. It was my first experience! I don't think I am that careless, but it did happen.

What was your worst experience in wedding party? Have you ever embarrased your self because you had too much to drink? Luckily, my sister wedding was non-alcoholic party :P
