whathe bodo-ness?!: A Danish-Indian Wedding

During my dad was down to KL 2 weeks ago...I attended a wedding dinner with him at Sheraton Imperial Hotel. It was his Danish friend's nephew who got married.

I've attended many Chinese weddings before...with 30-50 tables...also with the awful karaokes and delicious suckling pig. So, this is the first time I attend a danish-indian wedding...but mainly following the danish culture.

I had to go to the ladies...and since there was no one in there..i camwhored with the mirror. :P I hardly camwhore...so, appreciate this photo for once please? Hahaha...

The dress I wore was given by my dad like say...2-3 yrs ago. It's the 2nd time I wore it and the 1st time I wore it OUT from my house. :D

We had cocktail session for about an hour...and when the bride and bridegroom came...we had to throw these rice with heart shapes on them. They said the harder we throw, the more luck and happiness will befall on them. LOL.

The ambiance is different from a chinese wedding. It's much smaller...with around 20 tables...not round, but square..and some tables have only 2 person on it. European weddings are kept small and 'intimate'. :D

First time i see wedding cake which is pink and red in colour @.@

Our table....

The menu.....

I was impressed with the food. It's not heavy...and it's juuuuustttt nice for the stomach.

I'm sure Casey won't be satisfied with the food portion though. :P

Italian bread as a starter

1st...is the appetizer..

Honey cured Salmon with Basil air foam,
Buffalo mozzarella cheese with semi dried tomato, olive oil,
and
Deep fried oyster with tomato salsa.

Next is the main dish...

My dad's dish was
Braised beef short rib on Yellow polenta, micro cress and green asparagus

and I had
Roasted cod fish fresh basil sause, vegetable caponata and Fennel tomato salsa

Cody...i'm eating you :D
Fish...i'm eating you :D

Lastly, the desserts..

Villa Danieli's Tiramisu with tiramisu chocolate sticks,
Strawberry tartlet and
Citrus profiterole

They all look so round & cute on the long plate..

The Danish's way of saying Yam Seng like in the Chinese wedding...is "Skoal". So..it's very unusual for us to say "Skooooooooooooaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll" instead.

And another culture in Danish's wedding is the family members of the bridegroom will cut off his socks with a scissor which he's wearing. @.@ Very unusual....and when the Host asked what's the reason behind it..they can't answer though. So...there's the power of Google. And this is what I found: "The groom's socks are cut off at the toes or the end of his tie is cut off. It is said that this is so that the bride will have to prove that she can sew!"... -___-"

Another culture during the wedding which amused me was when the guests bang on their plates with their knife or fork, the wedding couple have to climb onto their chairs and kiss! That was very funny~~ Well, I found out that there's another culture, which we didn't practice it that night. It's when the guests stamp their feet, the pair have to kiss under the table. LOL~ Interesting, ain't it? :D

And this is their Danish cake...
Actually it looks like a Volcano :P
with flags on it..haha..so cute~

This is an example from the internet....
