wedding bells @ 3:01 PM

Went for Ms Delphine Tan's church wedding today.. As usual, the 4/7 people are always late, and I waited for approximately half an hr with a few other earlybirds. I can't believe it. GUYS are also late lor. Please lar - guys dunnit to be so vain de ma, how come still so late? And to think that guys are supposed to wait for girls. lolx. The fengshui realli reversed its way liao. Hmphx. Anyway, the wedding is uber nice! REALLY very very touching. I've never been to one that is so touching before.

To start off, the church is super beautiful. It has such a holy feel around it, such that I even went to the extent of whispering to my friends instead of talking normally to them. Waited for another half an hour before the wedding starts. wait and wait and wait...... All of a sudden, silence falls. And this stream of bridesmaids just came walking in, with a small bouquet of red roses in their hands. It is really a stream kk.. Very grand. A lot of bridesmaids. I even lost count of them. About 6 -7 bridesgrooms oso. It's about the grandest wedding i've ever attended. Then finally, the bride enters, arm in arm with her dad. OH~ and did I mention that during the course of the ceremony, the groom was actually singing? Some church song I think. But it's DAMN NICE. it is. He was singing for his bride, something about "I will always be there for you". Didn't really catch the words ... But that moment was magical. Out of so many weddings I've attended, this is the FIRST which I see the groom singing for his bride. And it helps a lot that he has such a magical voice. If i was the bride, I will surely be very touched. wahaha.

Actually I was still fearing that this wedding ceremony will be a very long preaching one. It wasn't. In fact, the pastor was quite comical. It somehow make the atmosphere very light-hearted. Not at all awkward and traditional. The pastor taught me a lot about marriage though.
Something about couples having a "working faith". Faith is nothing without action. If you promised ur partner something, do it. If you promised ur wife that u will have dinner with her tonight, do it. If you promised that you will talk to ur husband, do it. If you cannot fulfil ur promises, make it up by rescheduling it. This is called a "working faith". Many couples fall apart just because they lack a "working faith." So remember, this is a very important factor in all marriages.

Another thing is that everybody have their needs. And the role of a life partner is to try and fulfil them. For example, women love being listened to. If she wants to talk about something, being the nice husband you are, just shut up and listen. What's so difficult? It's something simple yet important. Listen - without reading your newspaper, without looking at your computer. Give her ur fullest attention. And men needs plenty of encouragement. Being the nice wife you are, do the encouragement. Never bring him down in anyway. When he is down in the pits, build up the lost confidence in him. Remember this phrase: There's always a woman behind every successful man. Meaningful yar?

Besides that, the pastor also said something very true: in every single wedding he conducted, there is always this moment, when the bride and groom's eyes will meet, and they will see things in each other eyes that we cannot. Something known onli to the both of them. The trials they undergone, the happy things they do tgt, every single thing they did just flashed past. hmmm. so sweet right? There was this time that the groom nearly cried because he was so touched. A very beautiful wedding.

Of course, this led to a lot of talks about weddings. Ah gong was sitting near me, and he was saying tt our class hv 30 girls.. surely in 7 or 8 years' time, will hv ppl getting married. I certainly hope so. I love attending weddings! cos they are so happy and meaningful. Mebbe ah gong will be one of them. =))) then we start reminding each other to send wedding invitations if they ever get married. Lol. i can't wait =X I think dar will get married before 25 -agree wif dap totally~ Remember to ask me to be ur bridesmaid wor!! hahaha.. Ya.. wanna be bridesmaid for a lot of my friends.. depend on who gets married first...dap, ruimin they all.. keke. suddenly thought of tilin and pam. i think they will get married before 25 too! wahahaha. cheeky me.

After the wedding, went to century sq with dap, ruimin and jinghui. window shopped and dinner. then yay.. home sweet home. =)))

slept and slept. woke up at 12pm today...!! wahahaha!! feel so refreshed now. i must be influenced by dar le. I think i want shoes too. keke. shopping!! gagaa~~
