Wedding Date : FIXED!

It has been a while since we last updated this site. Reason being the slight confusion and many details of the initial wedding planning that we had.

The original idea of 2 separate receptions for friends and family is now out the window. After going through the different quotations from a few hotels (Lone Pine inclusive), it came to our attention that the E&O Hotel in Penang gave us an offer we couldn't resist ! Strange it may seem, but one of the most exclusive hotels in Penang is offering us the best package !

For those out of towners, the E&O is housed in an old colonial building (renovated and refurbished, of course) facing the Straits of Malacca. For more details and history of this hotel, check out their official link. A wedding at the E&O will definitely be lovely! Or at least I am hoping it will be. Been looking through the web for pictures of weddings held there and almost all were just beautiful.

Anyway, to sum it up...

1.) Separate friends' reception at the Lone Pine not happening as we will have ONE big dinner together with family AND friends.

2.) The wedding will be over 2 days, of which the first day will only be the bride pick-up, prayers and tea ceremony for family members.

3.) The wedding dinner itself will be the following night. This might sound a tad strange but after many many days and weeks of discussion, we came to a conclusion that it's the best option. Plus less tiring for us as well .

So deposit for the hotel has been paid to secure the date. You can now start looking at travel dates, boys and girls. LQ will send out information on hotel rates that she will try to negotiate with certain hotels sometime early next year.
