Order of Service

Our wedding service was pretty straightforward except for one thing: we did it in two languages! This meant that what would normally have taken 30 minutes took just about one hour. In fact, we had to make sure that the service wouldn't run over an hour so that the video tapes wouldn't run out! (They didn't)

Even though we wrote out the text of the whole service in both English and Japanese, there were some fun moments when Pei Kang Dai and I had had some quiet exchanges: "OK, what comes next?"

In the end, everything came off without a problem, and 100 of our friends, family and acquaintences witnessed our exchange of vows and rings.

The full text of our wedding service is contained in the Wedding Service page.
