As far as wedding goes, this was a wedding with a difference... The wedding emcee sang along with the songs being played over the air! He practically committed murder!
Seems that the songs were selected by the groom himself, but I suspect the groom's mother had a lot to do with it...well wouldn't you agree since the groom is only 27 but the songs played were by Bee Gees, The Platters, Morris Albert and the likes. But the songs set the mood very nicely..it was after all, a wedding reception.
The groom seemed a painfully shy young man but who was determined to give his bride something to remember of their wedding, so when the emcee announced that they wanted the newly weds to take their first dance as a married couple, he pulled his wife tight, looked into her eyes, and whispered 'I Love you' and danced oblivious to all watching them. The song was Only You.
I whispered to my daughter sitting beside me...he loves her more than she him. It was obvious in the way he held her and in his gentle, melting eyes.
Lucky bride...I thought to myself. Good for her if my observation was right, cos the road ahead is narrow and long, and a woman needs a loving man by her side, always. Something all long married women would agree..hmmm?
Good luck to the new married couple, and don't let the pressure of your jobs get in the way of your love for each other. (Both are air traffic controllers with DCA and stationed in Kuching. Oh boy! talk about highly stressful jobs!) Maintain your sense of humour always as sometimes that is the only thing that keeps your heart from breaking.
Thanks to K Nab who rekindled my friendship with her younger sister Leha. We were the best of buddies, partners in crime in standard 6 and only her asthma kept us apart when it stopped her from joining me in TKC.
PS Bruce, mommy will get you a top hat and glasses just like that pic when you marry...
