Maverick Indonesia

The Cherished Day

On Wednesday, 23 January 2008, Maverick staffs were given a half-day off to get ready for a special celebration in the evening. Was it Maverick anniversary? A celebration over nailing big account? Or was it a late New Year’s Eve party? Nope, we cherished the day dearest Ong finally got hitched!

Looking dashing in evening gowns and suits, we arrived at 7 p.m. just in time when the party started at Cilantro restaurant in Wisma BNI 46, Central Jakarta. Ong and Felicia looked dazzling and glowing with joy as they greeted some 200 guests that comprised friends, business associates and relatives.

The romantic vibe filled the air with breathtaking city view from the 46^th floor, pink decorations, candlelight and smooth jazz. It was a warm and intimate party where bride and groom mingled with the guests amid scrumptious hors d’oeuvers and drinks in the lounge. Closest relatives and friends also took turn to tell funny and heartwarming ‘behind the scene’ stories, while children sang a love song and danced to it. Very cute.

The party went on with delicious dinner in the next room. Couples yearning for more romantic moment, however, scored slow dance in the lounge. As for us, we could not help the irresistible free flow of wine until the party ended.

We went home that evening with the feeling of bliss and content that lingered for days afterward. Ong and Felicia was also kind enough to give each guest a beautiful framed photograph that Ong took himself (not a photo of him, thank God! )

To Ong and Felicia, here’s to a wonderful life together. Cheers!
