Wedding Solemnisation on a Yacht in Singapore

Wedding Solemnisation on a Yacht in Singapore

Getting married on a boat is a magical experience, with the fresh sea breeze, open skies and a dash of sun (or rain), can offer a wedding not to be forgotten.  Recently, I had the privilege to be a part of Soon Xiang and Valerie’s Wedding Solemnisation on a Yacht in Singapore.

The sky opened in the morning as Valerie was getting made up. The plan was to sail out to the Southern Islands from One degree 15 (One°15) at Sentosa Cove, for their wedding ceremony on the main deck of the yacht in the beautiful waters off St John’s Island.

Guests arrived in umbrellas but slowly warmed up in the comfortable interior of the yacht. As Valerie’s parents were not able to be present for the wedding ceremony, the couple prepared a large screen so her parents can witness the ceremony “live”. With good fortune, the skies brightened and Plan A was back on track. After a delay due to contemplating a Plan B, the yacht set sail. The air was cool and the light was soft. Perfect conditions. No one had to squint and there were no harsh shadows. Soon Xiang in his 3-piece did not even break a sweat.

The yacht returned to One°15 at Sentosa Cove to drop off some elderly family members and for the caterers to set up the lunch reception. Valerie took this chance to freshen her make-up before sailing again. This time, the mood was light and joyous.

Not your usual wedding. I was enjoying it, as were the guests. It was refreshing to be out at sea and the day ended with lots of fun and laughter.
