First taste of wedding joys...

Had the chance to witness my boss's boss, Martin's, wedding ceremony today.
The first in my life so far.
It was held at a telok blangah church, newly built, very beautiful with its large tinted panes depicting heaven and light. The ambience was very homely as friends and relatives gathered to give their blessings to Martin, who is waiting anxiously for the arrival of his bride. And when everything was settled, the bride made her well-choreographed appearance.

His bride, Elaine, was basically someone unknown to me until today as i witnessed her walking down the pedestal with her dad, showing overflowing signs of happiness. She glowed under the limelight, basking in the glory of this special occasion, once in her life.

The pastor then carried on with the service, educating us on love, marriage and life after marriage. It is touching to hear the words of the couple when they were asked why they had chosen each other, with each citing mutual realisation as the main reason... Its very interesting to know how 2 very different individuals can show each other the different sides of life, the trust they've built up with each other. It takes a lot to really believe someone on things which you have never experienced before and take preventive actions. Which is as good as both of them, being as one, directing the reins of their future together, the future which has both of them in the picture.

And when they were extending their gratitude to all the guests who turned up for their wedding, Elaine was translating in mandarin, Martin's speech in English, and i must say, their languages are so darn well polished and Elaine's mandarin certainly make up for Martin's deficiency in mandarin. What a cool combi! Fancy showing off their prowess at such an early stage of their union!

The day ended well, no glitches in sight, one can wonder how many tideous rehearsals they've been thru to carry out such a well organised display, only the sweet smile on their faces tells me that everything has been worthy for them.

And i'm sure the girls reading this will start to wonder when their day will come right?
Haha, dream on.... oops, erm... i meant, have patience... the special someone will come along if you have faith... so stay strong!
