true love turns a church into a castle (:

I attended Rayson's and Shin yee's church wedding yesterday. Technically, that's my first 'friend' wedding - not those who-are-these-people weddings which I have attended several times with my mom.

What can I say! Shin yee looked gorgeous and Rayson looked really contented. The wedding started early in the morning in Wynnum Baptist Church. The music began to play and Rayson started singing. I can't really remember the lyrics, but it was something like, 'What did I do to deserve a gift like you...' MAD SWEET! not to mention that Rayson sings very well AND *drum roll* the couple WROTE THE SONG. no wonder I can't find that song online. They should consider making it into a MP3 for people to download.

and here came the bride, clinging onto her daddy's arm, walking down the aisle with grace. seriously, I teared. Never seen such a beautiful bride in my life (of course I will be the next!) and Shin yee began to sing in duet with Rayson! That can never happen to me because I can't sing fml! I could hear that Shin yee was trembling, but still, it was her big day so she could be nothing but perfect.

After walking down the aisle, the pastor began to quote phrases off the bible, telling the couple what they should do to have a lasting and happy marriage. Very enlightening indeed.

Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

The highlight: exchanging of vows. Gosh, I cried like Rayson is my son and Shin yee is my daughter. hahahaha. It was really sweet. 2 simple words 'I do' mould two to form one. And the wedding band is a circle which goes round and round, never ending but signify a new beautiful beginning. (and I saw the wedding ring, damn pretty)

After exchanging the vow, Rayson sang a song to his wife. sighh, Shin yee is so lucky, now that she has her own song. Excuse me, where is mine. ahem.

Next programme was videos of the wedding photos (why brides always so chio), and a video of the couple sharing their love story, from the very beginning of their relationship to where they are now. I think my relationship also quite cool and interesting to share, can compete. not bad not bad.

Anyway, by that time, my eyeballs were almost falling out (same for Qiao Fei, FOL we are both crybabies) and the bride and groom wanted to give a speech. And while the bride spoke about their tough times together, the groom started crying! (and my tissues were running low)

TO ALL GUYS OUT THERE, it is damn sweet for a guy to cry at his own wedding. So not to worry, just cry. All the girls out there will go 'awwww', not 'ewwww'. Because it simply shows how much you cherish the girl and the relationship, and shows that you are a sentimental man! Sentimental man = awesome man.

And yeah, after all the crying, I needed food damn badly so headed off to the buffet and some photo taking.

I AM SO ADDICTED TO WEDDINGS NOW (: HOPE MORE OF MY FRIENDS CAN GET MARRIED SOON SO I CAN GO AND WAIL AND AWWW.
