The Most Spectacular Wedding I've Ever Attended...

So the big day has finally come and gone.  The whole reason (and excuse) for us coming to Hong Kong is to see our good friend Vicki get married.  The wedding left us floored by how swank the production really was.  Everything from the decor, to the food, to the ambiance was perfect.  We've had some great opportunities to see some friends and family get married in great locales that include Jamaica, Hawaii, Scotch Creek, and Banff - but this blew all of them away and makes our wedding at Marco Polo (yes the one closed down because of mice) in Edmonton look ghetto... which it was.

Some random thoughts that caught my attention:

  • A huge 3d sign that spanned 10 ft high and 20 m long with "Victoria and Keith Tie the Knot" engraved in wood.
  • The Grand Ballroom with 3 story high ceilings and full windows offering great views of the harbour.
  • Instead of putting all the dishes in the middle of the table and every man for themselves, they did individual portions on the side and brought them to us... which I'm totally not accustomed to.
  • Unique dish of the night - Seafood stuffed avocado.
  • Best dish of the night - Grouper fish... so good!
  • I saw about 10 people attended the wedding wearing jeans... come on who does that?
