2nd Wedding Dinner

Just came back from a wedding. Thought I would blog abit about it before I head to bed. Really abit...

The bride was my ex-colleague, who met her husband online. He's from LA. She has since moved to LA. Quite a move for a girl who loves nasi padang and all kinds of local food.

The wedding was standard Singaporean Chinese wedding dinner stuffs... I didn't take pictures, but another colleague did, so when he pass them to me, I will put some on...

Anyway, as with most weddings, there's a wedding favour the bride ordered from Bangkok. It's an incense case with a heart shape or circle cut through. Both their names can be seen through the hole, and the names are on a piece of paper with the following poem:

When two people are at one
in their inmost hearts,
they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze.
And when two people understand each other
in their inmost hearts,
their words are sweet and strong,
like the fragrance of orchids.

- from I-Ching (I suppose is one of the Chinese literary works)

Nice. Simple and nice.

The bride told me I look glamourous tonight. I was secretly happy inside. Heh.

After SO MANY weddings I have attended, I truly feel (not just because the bride said so) that I look the part I am in, a pretty guest at a wedding dinner. All glam up and stuffs. I was not even as dolled up and feel more womanly at my sister's wedding or P's wedding than I was tonight .

Probably because I was in a more proper dress (new) and earrings (ever newer!) to match, and not forgetting, my permed hair :)

Nice. :D

Will show pictures when they are available.

But now, it's time to Zzzz....

That poem is nice - reminds me of a passage or two in Proverbs, maybe Song of Songs...

'Til they are available, I'll be patient as always ;P :D
