A Wedding Party

Attended a wedding party of my two church friends on saturday.
Memories flooded into my mind as i witness their church ceremony and banquet dinner.

i shed tears (ok this time the 'eye juice' just rolled in the eyes..) the moment the bride marched into the church with her dad... such a touching moment. i remembered i was holding my tears 5 yrs back when my dad did the same ritual with me.. my dad seldom hold me... it was the first time ever since i started to be 'righteous' against him... the holding, melted my heart... i am glad that i heeded the advice of my pastor to let my dad hold me instead of my mum.. this was the starting point of dad and daughter relationship revival.

'my dad holds me', this was exactly what i kept thinking while marching into the church. Thank God for such a wonderful experience. after then, he handed me to the man of my life--- my husband ttw. I admired him for 2 yrs before we started off with this relationship. 'Finally i am off the shelf' was the next thought at that moment. My heart just couldn't stop giving thanks.... When our good friends, Allison and Choo Kok, the mcs for our whole day event started to worship, gosh, my tears, like the running tap water, gushed like nobody's business... i was so worried that my fake lashes and mascara would smerge like panda eyes....

The tears, were tears of thanks giving. Really. So thankful to my God, who has always been there for my ups and downs. My best friend. My counsellor. My protector. all the best of Him, I have never failed to experience. Just because of His grace and love. Thank God!

Ling was not the same on saturday. She was cool. She even danced while worshiping. haha.. I couldn't help laughing at her... she was not that kind of traditional bride. She wouldn't want to be one i guess. She got her own style.

its a special day. The best day a woman would ever dream. The limelight is always on the bride. it is her most beautiful day... and her best memory. Ling's wedding once again reminded me how blessed i am. I have a loving husband. He is the best person for me. Its not easy to take all my nonsense without complain. But he passes that. Sometimes i feel that i failed him... as i am not a good wife. i grumble and complain... sometimes even thought that i am superior than him... not to realise until then that i am in fact ignorant and foolish.

My husband has led me and influence me positively. he even does my duties without a word of grumble. he does the laundry, washes the toilet, even scrubs the stove after my cooking... other than that, he never fails his own duty. He works very hard for the family. Though he seems to be quite stingy to others out there... but i would dare to say that his charity contribution is more than most of you... well, ok, he loses to those who only recite charity using their mouth perhaps..you know, for those who only talk about it and no action! ttw does not like to talk much about what he does and about to do.

It is good to be a married woman. I have no regret entering into this marriage. God bless us with two wonderful children, a 3 half years old girl and a 1 half year old boy. Perhaps God will continue to bless us with more, I don't know. But many people say that my children are miracles. because I have got irregular menses, meaning, my ovulation is in a mess. maybe 1/3 of normal women's chance to conceive. Yet, after nine months of marriage, our first girl was conceived. God's grace. Thus, she is to sing and praise His grace.

Lord, i really thank You for my marriage and family. May your blessing also pour upon my wedded and couple friends. Let their relationship improve each day and let Your grace be with them too. As for those who are single, Lord, please give them a partner and lead them to come together. Thank you Lord. In Jesus's name, Amen.
