I love attending weddings. :)
Seeing two lovely people uniting as one in holy matrimony is so special!
Last night, I attended Wesley & Lina's wedding dinner at Tanjung Aru Resort.
For those who don't know who Wesley is... it is Chua Soon Young's eldest brother. :)
People who attended the wedding were nicely dressed, the men in suits and ties and ladies in gowns and dresses.
Everyone was glamorous!
A few parts throughout the whole event really touched me... and I'm a guy!?!? Hm.... :P
The first one being the slideshow of Wesley and Lina with pictures of them growing up and the song 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift playing at the background. Very sweet indeed!
If you guys could recall the part when Taylor sings,
'He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes'
yeah, just hold that thought and picture this part of the song together with photos of Wes proposing to Lina. Just plain awesome!
The second part was when the bride and groom enter the ballroom along the red carpet with the song 'Come What May' by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman taken from the movie 'Moulin Rouge' playing in the background.
For those who never heard the song 'Come What May' you guys better start listening to it NOW. You can find the song at the bottom of this website where the 'Media Player' is. Just select it and enjoy! Note: Listen to the lyrics CAREFULLY as it has loads of meaning. It's not just a song that sounds good... it is PACKED with LOVE!
The final part of this wonderful wedding dinner that touched me was when they showed us the video of the two lovebirds saying their wedding vows.
Take note of the vows itself!
I, (Bride/Groom), take you (Groom/Bride), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
Okay, this is not exactly what they said in that video but it is pretty similar to the meanings of all wedding vows when both husband and wife really mean it! Faith and love is the key. :)
While I was looking at the video, in my mind I thought to myself, 'Wow! Marriage is such a beautiful thing that God gave us! When a man and a woman are united as one under the Lord, where their sins are washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ and both man and woman remain faithful and holy for Him, He too rejoices and blesses them!'
But these days marriage is used for a different kind of purpose. The world uses marriage as a public 'legal' approval for two people to indulge in their own lust... 'legally'. And when those 'feelings' or 'passions' fades... in comes divorce and unto the next man/woman! :(
It is really sad how the world is treating something so sacred for such sinful motives.The world maybe their playground, but not for our bodies and hearts.
We should speak out and show the people around us what is right and what is wrong! To follow the world is to seek death, to follow Christ is to seek life.
I hope you will make the right choice this time round because I am NOT you!
Seek help from your brothers and sisters in Christ, seek help from the Lord for He is good!
Be holy and live for Him!

You sure are romantic n sentimental (yeah, this is a compliment) :P
Ming, who took the bottom photo of yourself? The pose is really good!
Why thank you! :) Would tell Yi about that! ;) Yi helped me with her Nikon D90.
you sound like a love-sick fool.
Keep that conviction in your heart that "My body (every single part) is a temple of the HOLY Spirt" n He makes all things BEAUTIFUL in His Time (be patient)
Ming, the way you are following Jesus, makes you HOT HOT HOT :)))
A: Love sick? Nah. This is just how I feel about weddings. It's beautiful! And I'm just expressing myself about it. Cheers ;)
A2: Thank you. 1 Cor 13:4 'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.' I'm getting there. I side trekked from the Lord the last few years but I'm getting back. Do keep me in your prayers. :)
"But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion."1 Corinthians 7:9
your thoughts?
Hong Ming, you geting more handsome by the day!
Interesting verse. You see verse 9 is better translated as, “if they are not having self control,” indicating that they were occasionally giving in to sin. God says very clearly that if you are losing control such that you are giving in to sexual sin, then get married! :)
Ming, definitely keeping u in my prayers. I really rejoice to see the change in u:) Stick to Him like super glue, ok? Especially when u back in Aust cos this race is a marathon not a sprint :) That's why i like running long distance, cos it builds up discipline, give me lots of time to listen/talk with Him as i run n releases stress :)
Try it, jogging is amazingly gd
