Last saturday was these friends' wedding. Very sweet couple. God bless them and their marriage. The ceremony has brought back the sweet memories when James and I got married. This year January I bumped into these couple while transitting for 9 hrs in Dubai airport. Coincidently they were also waiting for the same flight. So we stayed together, talked, ate, got tired and got some rest. I was going back to get married and the bride here was going back to look for her wedding dress. Time really flies. So quick. And I'm still here everday waiting for my husband. Only God knows and can become James' and mine patience and comforter to bring us over this transistion period. He will strengthen us.
Remembering the time when I only have two weeks to get most of the wedding stuffs ready plus in the middle of getting ready for Chinese New Year. The wedding was very successful and was what I have wanted and I'm very grateful for everyone's help and time.
I remember when I just touched down in KK 9:30am, when James, my mom, dad and sister were there. We went to my favourite coffee shop for breakfast "wat tan ho" and immediately after breakfast we went to the Minisitry of Marriage to get the form, then to the Commission of Oath and back again to submit our wedding application. Luckily no queue at all and we got this important bit done in a day. The next day, me, mom and sister went for the wedding dress hunt. And again it only took us to shop three wedding shops and I had found mine in the third shop including the studio photo shoot. I cannot stop praising that it was really the soverignty arrangement from God.
My wedding invitations, flowers and venue decoration were unexpectedly but very amazingly handled by my dear relative. I only found out she runs her business as a party and wedding organisers when I was at home. My wedding venue is specially picked by me and mum as this place is where me and James met and most of my sweet time childhood is from here, where people there seeing me growing up and most important it was a place and the people there who have nutured and have helped me in growing through my spiritual life. Our wedding was smoothly annouced throught in the newsletter, msn head title and invitation cards. Also embrassingly annouced during my first high school reunion however it was sweet and unforgettable. It did surprised many ex-mates. But thank you for the gift and wishes.
High tea reception (just after wedding ceremony) and dinner banquet (as gesture of thank you just for family+relatives+close friends+people who have helped in preparation) were no difficulthy to find and food was awesome thinking that I started feeling a foreigner to KK. I should have taken the food photos. All big thanks to mum and her friends.
Hair and make-up, wedding car, venue seats & tables arrangement, wedding ceremony programme booklet, pianists, brothers leading the ceremony, camera man, videoing man, ushers, brothers entertaining the guests during dinner were all amazingly handled by my dear friends and brothers and sisters in Christ. These people were once with me and James in the youth service and seeing them all again and participated in the wedding ceremony has touched our heart as this kind of love definitely have to be love form God in them.
Minjin, Qianqian, Oioi, wishing you guys were here with us. Miss you lots.
