Christina, Make -up artist

Some have been asking who was our makeup artist for the wedding. It has been a while and we haven't posted as much.  We found Christina via Sherry Lew a make-up artist here and my wife just loved what she did. She is friendly, easy to approach and very understandable with our needs for the wedding.



Anyhow, we discovered that she blogged about my wife as well. Which you can see on the link below.

So Why Singapore?

Friends and relatives have asked us, why Singapore? Why did we choose to get married here rather than in the Philippines? Aside from being a destination wedding, we chose Singapore because:

1. We want it to be solemn.

2. We wanted to have some quality bonding time with our family.

and

3. We want our family members and relatives to have a vacation. :)

Church Searching

As with every couple planning to get married or dreaming to get married, searching for THE CHURCH is often a hard decision. Things such as availability, location, even the interior of the church matters. For me and my fiancee; despite living in the little red dot and being in a foreign land, searching for a Church to exchange our vows were not as hard as it seemed and turned out to be quite the adventure and I learned a bit of trivia about each as well.

Church of St. Mary of the Angels

5 Bukit Batok East Avenue 2

An ultra modern church, spacious, unique but slightly far from the city.

The church was designed with the ceremonial space in the center and 

seating on 3 sides so that no seat was too far from the sanctuary.

Blessed Sacrament Church

1 Commonwealth Drive, Singapore 149603

Well known for its iconic slate roof which is constructed in folds in the shape

of a tent to symbolize the "Tent of Meeting"in the Old Testament.

The Main service hall is cross-shaped.

Church of St. Teresa

510 Kampong Bahru Road

Probably the most popular church in Singapore. It is the first rural

Catholic Church and the only one featuring a Roman-Byzantine architecture.

 

Church of the Sacred Heart

111 Tank Road

Built in 1906 and completed in 1910, the Church of the Sacred Heart is

a small French Gothic Style church having a white facade and a beautiful

altar. Located near the city and at the far side of Fort Canning Hill.

 

St. Joseph's Church

style church; structured in the form of a latin cross. This church is most noted for its annual Good Friday procession.

 Church of Saints Peter and Paul

225A Queen Street

A Gothic style church; the facade features the statues of Saint Peter

and Paul.It has a beautiful main entrance and an all white interior with

stained glass windows.

St. Andrews Cathedral

 It is the country's largest cathedral, an Early Gothic style church that stands

out over modern skyscrapers. It is located within the central business district.

The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes

 50 Ophir Road

A Neo-Gothic Style church it was originally built to be a Tamil Catholic church but as of present times it has welcomed Catholics of all races.

 CHJIMES

the chapel is now a multi purpose hall for various events and the complex is now
