A year of meticulous planning for a couple’s special day went down the drain after guests and vendors alike failed to turn up on time for their wedding on Nov 30.
The reason?
Road closures throughout the city thanks to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon.
Although the previous 17 iterations of the race were held in the morning, organiser Ironman Asia changed this year’s flag off time to 6pm in order to boost the appeal of the race. It also hoped to be inducted into the Abbott World Marathon Majors club — a series of the world’s largest and most prestigious races.
Unfortunately for Jianming Lee, that meant the roads leading to his wedding venue at Marina Mandarin were closed off from as early as 1.30pm.
In a post on Facebook, Lee shared how his wedding, originally scheduled to start at 7pm, was devoid of guests, including his own parents.
“I went down at 7.10pm and saw nobody at the cocktail area,” he told Mothership.
