Malaysia is fast becoming one of the popular locations in Asia for destination weddings.
What more appropriate venue than at Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa at Penang!
With the recommendation of the resort’s Event Manager, Betty Lim, (email: betty.lim@shangri-la.com), I returned to this luxurious resort recently to document the really unique wedding of Mahshid and Chad. The simple yet elegant and romantic wedding, was an East meets West marriage with 30 guests from all over the world, inclusive of children.
During this season, the weather in Penang is supposed to be steaming hot but it unexpectedly started drizzling around 5.00 pm. To some, this might have been cause for panic already but the lovely bride, Mahshid was really cool about it. She just calmly said to everyone, “Let’s have some champagne”, and everyone was having a good time at the lounge. Fifteen minutes later, the rain stopped and the ceremony went on perfectly. That is the fun part of a garden wedding! 
The song that I selected for the slideshow is an instrumental version of Ave Maria. This meaningful song was also sung to the lovely couple by the sister of the Groom during the ceremony.
Don’t forget to view the slideshow. It may take some time to load but believe me, it’s worth waiting for! For the best effects, make sure you turn on your speakers to full volume.
