This ultra-pretty wedding at The White Rabbit is the cafe wedding of our dreams
Jeanne and Terence celebrated their solemnisation with a picturesque Sunday brunch style reception at The White Rabbit.
By Cassandra Koh and Felicia Tan -
"We had our solemnisation followed by lunch at The White Rabbit. The wedding mass and banquet were held a week later. Both were relatively intimate affairs.
We asked everyone to dress down. I told them to think of the event as a smart Sunday brunch and to dress accordingly.
It was so relaxed that mid-way through the reception, I changed into flip-flops so I could run around and take photos with our guests!", says Jeanne.

"We met through a friend about four years ago. I worked for Her World magazine at the time and had been assigned a story about the different ways to meet men. He was one of my dates for the article. We did not expect to enjoy each other’s company as much as we did."
Terence proposed to Jeanne during her birthday weekend at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. It was where they officially became an item in 2012.
The solemnisation took place at The White Rabbit’s adjoining outdoor terrace called The Rabbit Hole.
Pale yellow and white roses were tied to the chairs with long ribbons as a simple compliment to the table set up.

“The White Rabbit programme was simple. There was plenty of time for guests to eat and chat, and for us to mingle. I enjoyed spending time with my friends – a few of whom I hadn’t seen in ages. It was great!” says Jeanne.
