Our Wedding Night(s) Hotel
Wednesday, April 30, 2008So in Chinese tradition, the bride is not allowed to return home to her parents house until 3 days after the wedding, at which time a celebratory dinner is held in the newlyweds honour. Not sure what the significance of this is, but that's what we'll be doing.
Unfortunately, as our new house won't be ready we don't really have a place to stay. But since I also needed a place to change dresses after the tea ceremony, we decided to book a hotel room for those 3 nights.
Our first choice was the Hilton Lac-Leamy. It's a newer swankier hotel than anything in Ottawa and close to both downtown Ottawa and our ceremony site (Rockliffe Park). Unfortunately, it's completely booked up on our wedding weekend. So our second choice was the old but always classic Fairmont Chateau Laurier.
But as luck would have it, one of our bridesmaid has a special connection with the Hilton and Casino Lac Leamy (she's totally awesome and so is her connection btw!). And we've now got a deluxe room booked at the Hilton and I'm super excited. An added bonus is we can go gambling on our wedding weekend ;)

Thanks so much :)
