19th December 2009 : My 1st (of many peers) got married and its just the beginning. It really felt so surreal witnessing her solemnization and eventually the dinner. The Edith I knew in JC has grown up and has entered a whole new world with her hubby. To think she was once so tom-boyish, fierce and iron-womanish. Yesterday, she just blossomed into a woman!
At the solemnization ceremony, both daddies had to give their consent to marry their child off and I was just trying to imagine how the parents would have felt. The kiddo whom they have lovingly nurtured and brought up is going to be someone else's husband or wife. No more a kid. But I'm sure in their eyes, Edith & Jacky will forever be that precious little girl and boy whom have brought much pain, laughter and frustration to them over the years.
As a friend, I too felt emotional. Like I'm marrying my friend off! Flashbacks of our OAC days came fast and furious. The tough cookie in Edith has found her life-long companion and her demeanour was just different. Her vulnerable side was revealed and it must be love. Only with the person you love most can you be most vulnerable. I'm so glad for her.
As she walked down the aisle, I too walked down one : the aisle of reminiscence.
Well well, 1 down. More wedding updates to come. Akan datang.
Bride & groom were busy so we resorted to picturing with the standees.
Creative ay?
