"NEWLY-WEDS Eric Ong and Ong Pei Ling had planned a romantic wedding in the sky on the Singapore Flyer yesterday, but their plan was wrecked before they could begin.
A technical glitch about half an hour before the couple and their entourage were to board the Flyer saw it grind to an abrupt halt, with 173 people still on it.
The couple and 26 family members and friends were scheduled to go up at about 5.30pm and ascend to the peak of the 165m-high wheel 15 minutes later where they would exchange their vows.
ONE woman cried while she was being lowered down by a rope from a capsule about eight storeys high. Another kept her eyes tightly shut until her feet touched solid ground before bursting into tears of joy."
The poor couple. It's so ironic that I read that right after I read Luo Er's post on wedding proposals. Looks like she skipped the part about weddings gone wrong! :P
