DATO NANCY YEOH AND ROLV REISSIGER'S WEDDING---THE PRE-WEDDING WALTZ REHEARSAL AND WEDDING REHEARSAL AT ABBAYE DES VAUX DE CERNAY A.K.A THE ABBEY IN EASY ENGLISH ON 7 OCTOBER, 1 DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING AT SAME PREMISES.

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
 200 GUESTS FLEW FROM KUALA LUMPUR OR OSLO, NORWAY, DROVE, TOOK THE FERRY OR EUROSTAR FROM LONDON TO ATTEND THE MALAYSIAN WEDDING OF THE CENTURY AT ABBAYE DES VAUX DE CERNAY OR THE CERNAY ABBEY IN DOMAINE DES VAUX DE CERNAY IN CERNAY-LA-VILLE SOME 25 KM FROM VERSAILLES.

I did ask Dato Nancy Yeoh to hold her wedding nuptials at Chateau Versailles or Versailles Palace which is  accessible by direct train from Paris so guests could stay in Paris itself or at Pullman or Waldorf hotel in Versailles. But the bride said she could not possibly take over the entire Versailles Palace by law while she could annex the whole abbey for her wedding! 

Only Dato Nancy Yeoh could coerce high ranking royals like Tunku Dara Tunku Naquiah the Princess Royal of Negeri Sembilan and her husband Tunku Kecik Tunku Besar Tunku Mudzaffar Tunku Mustapha to waltz for her and Tunku Muda Serting of Negeri Sembilan Tunku Imran Tuanku Jaafar to officiate at her wedding. Tunku Dara and Tunku Imran are the children of Tuanku Jaafar Tuanku Abdul Rahman the 10th King of Malaysia. A few days earlier, Tengku Nong Suraya the sister of the Sultan of Pahang, hosted a lavish dinner in London for Dato Nancy Yeoh and Rolv Reissiger. The repast for 10 cost 5,000 pounds sterling (over RM 30,000 by the time drinks and gratuities were added) and I was not invited, sad to say. 

The Waltz rehearsal took place in the Monks' Room (salle des Moines or something like that) where the wedding dinner would be held the next day on 8 October 2016. The waltzers were all Malaysians and dear gal and guy pals of Dato Nancy Yeoh who flew in from Malaysia regardless of expense though I calculated per couple hadc to fork out at least RM 18,000 for 4 or 5 days. It was unthinkable anyone would slum it out in some dodgy motel as per room averaged RM 1,000 per night. I was frightfully impressed with Dato Julie Lim arrived in a Mercedes-Benz limousine all the way from Paris. The taxi fare was half the price of my air ticket to Paris! 

Still, this is what friends are for, through thick and thin. And good times and bad. Cest la vie!
