Weddings

Two weddings in a row for my two best friends…. Although feeling exhausted and tired over the past 2 weeks, I am extremely grateful to see my friends being able to find their significant others to spend the rest of their lives with.

I have to applaud M's effort in organizing such a warm and successful wedding not only for herself, but also for her guests. Different from some normal weddings, it is a wedding filled with love and passion. The guests appeared at the church and banquet were not the ones who just wanted to show their faces for the sake of attending the event, they went there with their best blessings to celebrate the joy for their dearest friends. There were sooo many people even though I was the usher and traffic facilitator for the day, I lost track of the faces for the ceremony and the banquet and kept asking the same questions to the same people, it was quite embarrassing but at that point I just wanted to get my job done.

I probably have wept the most of the weddings I've been to, except for my sister's wedding...that was when the reverend depicted how the groom brought the bride to church one day and indicated she was the ONE, I started weeping.. when the groom expressed his respect to his grandma and honored his mom for upbringing, I wept again.. then the bride thanked her mom for being her best friend and stayed alongside all the time, I wept nonstop.. when it was my turn to take pictures and I hugged the bride in silence I wept again.. at night during the dinner when the groom went up to the stage and sang the song he wrote for the bride, my tears burst out again.. and then when the maid of honor was giving a toast, I wept again...when I shared some private moments with the bride inside the changing room, my makeup finally all melt with tears...

It is their honesty and passion that touched me.. they know how to treat each other with respect and understand that it took them a long time to find each other so they need to cherish the relationship. I wish them the very best and the groom's promises last for eternity.



Unlike some brides who make the bridesmaids wearng ugly gowns.. M is nice enough to let us look pretty on her wedding day too.. This is my ensamble for the day. Champagne color dress with puffy bottom, I match with pearl necklace and a pair of beige satin marc jacob pumps.



I was pretty annoyed by my daily garbage look and untidy hair so I went to perm my hair the following day... The perm turned out perfect, but the process looked hideous...doesn't it look like a brain washing machine from the star war movie...?!



I would kill myself if this is the finish product..
