Questions, Questions -- Last Carina-Tony Wedding Post of the Year

And I really mean The Last. (Because we should move on with life, this is starting to feel like a Cher farewell concert tour, plus I'm working on other things now.)

But just figured out this comments thing, so just posted the comments and saw the links including Glenn's blog and the Singapore's Straits Times newspaper article on make-up by Zing.

Because I am often a font of trivia and in the interest of keeping the facts straight, had some handy answers from Jet Tone in my notebook for Grady who asked many good questions:

1. 140 guests included members of Bhutan's royal family who didn't need lodging, believe there were only 70 to 90 out-of-town guests

2. There are other hotels in Paro, so guests were spread out among at least three places: Uma Paro (where the couple and their families stayed), Amankora Paro and Zhiwa Ling

3. All floral arrangements by Thailand's most famous florist Sakul Intakul He is well-known for his unique creations that dominate the lobbies of at least two top hotels in Bangkok as well for as his work at the Royal Palace. William Chang Suk-ping himself did final touches as overall art director

4. Bhutanese traditional outfits were borrowed from Dasho Tobgyal Dorji, cousin of the king who just abdicated and uncle of the new king. Tony's outfit was worn by Dasho at his own wedding day


And an answer to a question unasked:

How many of the very hard-working and tenacious Hong Kong entertainment press were there in Paro? Tight security kept them at the bottom of the hill. During the reception, Carina sent down wedding cake and champagne for them. The count was 28 members of the media, which is a very impressive number considering how difficult and expensive it is to get to Bhutan and that they all managed to get there two/three days after learning where the marriage would be held.
