Nithin + Arti’s wedding was the wrap for our year 2009, and it certainly was a great wedding as we had great time covering their wedding ceremonies at Pulai Springs Resort whilst enjoying our stay there. This newly wed, based in San Francisco, had their closest friends and relatives flew in from all over to attend their wedding in Pulai Springs, and yet this couple is not even from Malaysia! Yeap, it was a destination wedding.

Arti had arranged that we could all stay in the same resort as them as this would save the traveling time and for the convenience of us to cover the preparations and ceremonies. Well, it was really cool having to just walk a few minutes to both Nithin’s and Arti’s room, their parents’ suite and we could easily head back and forth to theirs without much hassle, and even the ceremonies were held in the resort! lol.. this is the coolest part of any destination wedding! They had a total of 3 events, from sangeet to wedding to reception. That was the first time we experienced a sangeet that’s full of love and even Nithin had a special surprise for Arti, which was to sing her favorite hindi song though he is not familiar with the language. His performance did not stop just there, he had even performed 2 more songs for his dear arti. The entire night was filled with love and laughter as their close friends from san francisco and singapore gave some very touching speeches, with nithin’s uncle ended the speech by singing his self-composed song about nithin and arti!

Well, their wedding certainly was not just a normal wedding rituals, it was more like a party and a get-together with their close friends and relatives from all over. Well, they had the most simplest wedding ceremony of all, yet ensuring that all the important rituals are done appropriately, with a touch a ‘beach-wedding’ decor! Of course, nithin was dancing his way to the wedding hall along-side with all his relatives. It was truly the cooolest wedding, and at the end of the day, everyone get carried away and some started to ‘throw’ the guys into the swimming pool! Finally, after all the celebrations, this cool couple were so nice to invite their friends and relatives to join their honeymoon trip to bali. Reason being they just want everyone to join in and have fun, as they will have plenty of time for private honeymoon after the wedding. I mean “wow” they’d rather forgo their honeymoon just so everyone could have fun with them.

Presenting to you now, arti + nithin’s wedding highlights…

(to arti + nithin, thanks guys for having us there to be part of your big celebration, truly honored to be there.. =) )

Simon – cousin brother of Jessica

Leena – best friend of Jessica

Simon – attended his cousin’s wedding on a one fine day

Leena – was always tagged along to jessica’s family outings, did the same on the same day, has followed jessica family to the wedding function [ahem..without proper "invitation" as quoted by simon ]

Simon + Leena – became friends some time thereafter…

Simon, who is a truly shy guy – was shy to declare his love to leena

Leena, who is a straight forward girl – made the initial move to declare her love to simon

Years have passed, finally had their wedding on the same day as simon’s birthday. It truly was a meaningful “ten-ten” wedding at the tropicana resort ballroom! Not only did they had their wedding car plated 1010, simon even sang a song to his beloved wife upon their entrance march-in during the reception night. Surprise surprise, none of us expected it as simon is rather a shy guy, but he sang really well and now we all know that he is a good singer.

Not only was their wedding an exciting one, but it was more like a friends gathering to us, as we got to meet and catch up with several of our clients, like jessica + suraj, kavi + santhra, and their family =) The feeling was so nice as though we knew everyone there and as if we are a part of them. Anyway, we really want to thank simon + leena for having us there to be part of the celebration and we would like to say we had real great time hanging out with you guys during the pre-wed shoot a couple of months back.

Here you are guys, hope you enjoy watching this highlight video ‘because you live’ to love one another…  ;)
