After much anticipation on the day of 16th September 2006, it came and went just like that and with four persons, signing on the dotted lines on the marriage certificate, had just pronounced my other half and myself as husband and wife...
It was a memorable day as we have been planning for this occasion since a month ago and we were worried about so many things, fortunately it passed with no complications and in fact has brought two souls together and made two families bigger.... with myself getting an additional mommy, and my wife getting another daddy... ironically, both my wife and me had lost one of our parent, me losing my mom, and my wife losing her dad... so this came as a blessing....
I was proud and touched that I am able to "get" a mommy from this auspicious occassion, and likewise my wife....
And also the presence of my long lost cousin, Grace, whom i've not met for about 7-8 years has in fact made this day more memorable... together with my wife's brother, sister-in-law, and the two apple of their eyes, Alex and Darren (aka rascalians), coupled with my wife's good friends and family members, and not forgetting Erik, my more articulate cousin bro, has in fact made the day an eventful one....
Watching both my dad and my mother-in-law's facial expression, I was very happy that both of them were there to grace the marriage and give us their blessings... I had wished that my mom was around to witness this occasion as she would have been the happiest mother in the whole world to see her son get married...
But no matter what, she was in my heart during the whole ceremony and i know that she's watching over us from wherever she is.... giving us her blessings... The same goes for my wife who had told me that she wished that her dad was still around to witness and to "give" her daughter away.... I told her the same thing, her dad is watching us from wherever he is, giving us his blessings too....
