#WOTD: An Utterly Sweet Military Wedding at Alkaff Mansion

Kelvin worked out all the details of the wedding perfectly, making the ceremony one that Huishi had always dreamed of- to tie the knot in an outdoor garden pavilion setting.

It is common for brides to have bridezilla moments from all the stress and frustration from wedding planning. But for this Singaporean couple, the bride never had to go through any of that. The reason behind this? The groom, Kelvin, wanted the bride, Huishi, to be the happiest and stress-free bride on the big day, the photography team who covered their wedding, Smittenpixels, shares with us. Hence, Kelvin took charge of the entire wedding planning!

Huishi’s probably one of the luckiest bride out there!

Kelvin worked out all the details of the wedding perfectly, making the ceremony one that Huishi had always dreamed of- to tie the knot in an outdoor garden pavilion setting. The colour palette of this garden wedding was pastel pink, white and blue, all the more making the wedding ceremony a princess and fairytale-like one in addition to the romantic garden wedding setting.

Huishi and Kelvin got hitched at Alkaff Mansion, a historical colonial mansion perched atop Telok Blangah hill. With the intricate European architecture as well as a lush front lawn, Huishi and Kelvin’s big day certainly looked grand and impressive.

The military wedding added to this grandeur, with Kelvin and his sword bearers looking dashing in his traditional military. The highlight of this military wedding was definitely the Arch of Sword ceremony. This tradition involves the bride and groom passing through an honorary arch of swords, which signifies a safe passage for the newlyweds as they enter into a new chapter of life together!

The ceremony was not only emotional for the couples themselves, but the guests who were there to witness this beautiful union were incredibly touched too by the numerous sweet and lovely moments during the ceremony.

Smittenpixels shares with us  “To be honest, the entire wedding was memorable to us. It was unpretentious and real, and their ‘Thank you’ speech was one of the most heartfelt we’ve ever heard, and watching Kelvin tear when he spoke about his mom and thanked her for bringing him up singlehandedly was beautiful. We walked away from the wedding with our hearts full that very day. They have also become our friends.”

From the moments captured by Smittenpixels, we could tell that Kelvin and Huishi’s big day was beautifully romantic and the couple are incredibly blissful!
