  Singapore is one of the most romantic cities in the world, and it’s an ideal place to get married.  Because of the rich tropical atmosphere, and the very cosmopolitan and multicultural urban scene, there is something for everyone.  It’s a place that has appeal even for the families who are absolutely divided on what makes a good wedding, because it has something of everything.  And, it’s also a wonderful place to go exploring when the ceremony is over, both for the happy couple as well as for their lucky guests.  When it comes to what makes a happy wedding, Singapore has many splendid options, and it’s possible to go with many at once.

  Some people are magnetically drawn to a place where many different cultures merge.  This is one of the more magnetic places in that regard, and it has a very substantial expatriate community.  You might not see yourself or your guests moving here, but chances are very high that some of the magic will rub off on you.  A return trip is likely, at the least.  But while you’re wondering what to do about the details of the wedding, there are also questions about what to see while you’re here when you’re free to explore.  Fortunately, there is a magnificent array of offerings here, and something for everyone, surely.  Some of the best secrets are held by the local expatriates, who have inside information based on their own experiences, as well as advice from other expats and locals, based on years and even generations of experience in Singapore.

  For these reasons, some of the best advice is found on the expat message boards, where you can learn about such things as the best place to find second hand books in town.  There are plenty of other resources for finding bookshops, and there seems to be only a few with cafes.  This doesn’t mean they can’t be found.  But it’s also true that spending a day looking for a perfect bookstore can also lead to a number of splendid little side journeys, that might lead you to your own romantic Singapore adventure.
