My long weekend has been punctuated by wedding and wedding. 9 August was the wedding of Jachin and Yellowrose's and today, 11 August was Lester and Freda's. It's interesting that I've been in RCC for 4 years. How time flies. Jachin, Yellowrose, Lester and Freda are all the new friends I met at RCC. Thank God for them.
Jachin is the highly Mr organized. He's very pleasant and what every mum would want her son to be like.
Yellowrose has this calm disposition. Even her excitement is calmly exclaimed. :)
Lester is the Mr Prim and Proper. Although the only child, he's surprisingly kind, pleasant and unspoilt. Sensible.
Freda is Ms Prim and Proper too. She is very nice, gentle and has definite views on matters that are important to her.
As I sat through their solemnization, I remembered that my wedding passed not too faraway. I would recall the vows I've made and the words given to us on our wedding day. Indeed, loving each other for better, for worse, for poorer, for richer, in sickness and in health. A good reminder always.
These two weddings touched me a great deal. Both the groom wrote songs for their bride and that was so sweet. When I asked my husband how come he didn't write any song for me, he told me, he told somebody to write it. hahaha. so funny - humph. I was significantly touched when they were thanking their parents for bringing them up and lovingly caring for them. At Jachin's speech, I couldn't control my tears from flowing out. He thanked his parents for providing him with a lovely and warmth home. At Lester's speech, I managed to swallow back my tears. When Freda thanked her mum for always being so self sacrificing, it warmed my heart.
I wonder, what my daughter would say to me when she grows up. I hope that we can give her a warm home that's filled with love and care. Even in the times of discipline, she will know our love. Being a parent has allowed me to experience new sets of emotions. Charis' s megawatt smile is simply amazing. She is really a gift.

Yup, I've been to a few weddings, but I'm afraid that I'm becoming jaded. Not with the happiness of the couples, but with the events. "Seen one, seen all", like they say.
That's why I still remember your wedding. It's the only one I've been to that was not only at a park, but very informal too.
on yellow's comment. I kinda agree. I didn't tear at my wedding too but adrian did...
the being jaded part is true especially when you don't really know the couple that well, unable to share in their joy.
nevertheless... i enjoyed both the weddings - ironically, i was brought to tears at Jachin's speech...
