10 HIGHLIGHTS • <strong>KECHARA</strong> HOUSE<br />

A DREAM WEDDING<br />

AT <strong>KECHARA</strong> HOUSE<br />

Since 2012, Kechara House has held many registration<br />

of marriage ceremonies. This year Kechara House<br />

hosted the registration and wedding ceremony of<br />

Tiffany and Winson, a devout Buddhist couple who<br />

wanted to start their life together in a sacred place in<br />

the presence of Buddha.<br />

On the morning of the wedding, volunteers at<br />

Kechara arrived at the venue early to prepare the<br />

food for the reception and also to greet the guests.<br />

As soon as bride and groom arrived at Kechara<br />

House, they were ushered into a private room where<br />

Pastor Chia solemnised their marriage registration.<br />

Tiffany was then presented a beautiful bouquet that<br />

was prepared especially for her by Kechara Blooms.<br />

Once the registration ceremony was performed,<br />

the newlyweds were escorted to the Gompa (main<br />

prayer hall) where Pastor Adeline then bestowed<br />

blessings on them. Tiffany and Winson then recited<br />

their marriage vows and exchanged rings and<br />

this was followed by an offering of candles to the<br />

Buddha, their first task together as husband and<br />

wife. The ceremony was followed by a photo session<br />

and then the bride and groom, and all their guests,<br />

adjourned to the Kechara Lounge for refreshments.<br />

Kechara House’s in-house team also prepared all<br />

the decorations for the wedding and made it a very<br />

memorable affair for the couple and their loved ones.
