Mike and Angela’s Wedding

Loved Mike and Angela’s wedding because it was down-to-earth and Singaporean.

All the elements in the ’story’ come together to represent a Singapore heartland wedding unique to the Chinese in South East Asia.

The Scene is set in a HDB block undergoing LUP (Lift Upgrading). Potted plants line narrow corridors, the MRT track is a stone’s throw away. Very Chai Chee, Very Bedok.

The Characters: Daddy’s in a Batik shirt, watching his little girl turn into a bride, many excited relatives gather in the home early in the morning to help out, and waiting for the tea ceremony.

Angela’s home was order in chaos, but oozing, so o0-oo-zing with character, I like!

The visuals coming through were simply the stuff of dreams. Everything was real, honest, unpretentious.

The couple chose a 早安老师 theme for their ’sisters and brothers’, after the popular 1980’s drama serial, “Good morning, teacher!” Which is why the bridesmaids are bespectacled, holding canes and rulers; the groomsmen dressed in Khaki shorts, like the school uniforms of the early 80s.

Congratulations Mike and Angela!
