Contemporary Chinese Tea Ceremony & Putrajaya Cruise (Part 3)

“Dear Joveyn, my one and only lover. You’re my hottest colour. I want to be your Mini Cooper. To be your all-time favourite. I’ll always be your shade, for all the rainy days. To be your private jet, for all your holidays. I wanna be your best date, no facebook whatsapp sms. We will enjoy our dinner plate, no iPhone sticking to my face. I’ll be your vending machine, loaded with surprises, gifts and love. A KIOSK that always pleases my queen, like the stars and sun above. Between you and my Beemer, I never will think twice. No matter sea or river, you’ll always be my first choice. Today I make you my wife. The choice will be for life. Even when we’re ninety-five, you will still be the love of my life.”    -Henry-

You’ve seen their sweet, beautiful garden wedding in Sabah, the Land Below the Wind. Probably swooned over their uber-cool, elegant  tiffany blue ballroom wedding held in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Today, we embrace the rich cultural aspect of our tradition as we bring you some interesting photos of their Marriage Registration and Chinese Tea Ceremony. Prior to their dinner reception, Henry and Joveyn had their official registration onboard a cruise boat at Putrajaya and a contemporary Chinese tea ceremony which were witnessed by just a handful of closest friends and family.

From the photographers: Joveyn and Henry, such a loving and fun couple. At one glance you would instantly know that these two people were a match made in heaven. The ROM they had was a really interesting one because it was held on a Cruise Boat in Putrajaya. It was an intimate and very private event with family members and bridal party with lots of love and laughter. Luckily enough, we were blessed with good weather as it did start to drizzle as we boarded the boat. At this point, Joveyn seemed a little worried and disappointed that the weather was acting up. As always, I as the trained FIFOTO wedding photographer assured her it will clear up and it won’t be raining when we want to head up to deck for shots. Guess what, it stopped the moment we headed up (FIFOTO weather strikes again)!! Had quite a lot of fun shooting as the Heng Tai’s and Chi Mui’s were a crazy fun bunch. Henry & Joveyn went all out for the traditional bridal games in the morning. And finally, after weeks of hearing about the infamous Mini since the ROM shoot, I finally got to see the cute white car tied with a huge ribbon! This was a gift from Henry to Joveyn as a wedding present! Talk about setting the bar high!

This couple really had everything they wanted, cleverly segmented into various occasions of their celebration. The wedding entourage and bridal games are by far the most colour coordinated ones we’ve seen to-date. Everything was in the shade of pink or red, right down to the shade of ‘ink’ used for the games. What’s even more interesting is the fact that the groomsmen were so well prepared that they started off in full throttle after a round of Tongkat Ali. In fact, they were one step ahead as they brought a suitcase of ‘cash’ to entice the ladies and came prepared with a wedding vow for the final round of ‘challenge’ before entering the bridal room. After the bridesmaids made the men wear silly ribbons on their head and danced to the song by the Wonder Girls, the groomsmen, being a real sport, wore it as a bow tie to the dinner reception. All in the name of FUN!
