It has been a real hectic 2 weeks.Preparations for the Church were actually quite hefty, a point which we came to really realise recently. The sound man, the helpers and the beautiful invitation cards and decorations to be put in place. Church wedding isn't the same as holding a dinner at a hotel. There is a hotel coordinator but there is none at a church wedding. From the sound man to the usher, we have to provide.
After some hiccups(hopefully no more as I have drank a lot of water), we get set for the rehearsal on only 1 day before the wedding itself. It was difficult to get everyone who could attend together and coupled with Twa Yi's return back to the States only made preparations a bit more tricky.I haven't had time to grapple on how the roller coaster of feelings will turn out. To deal with Twa Yi's departure and yet got to turn up my very best the next day for the wedding. Not only for me, but the whole family. Guess we got to tune up pretty fast. My Twa Yi said when she just touched down in Singapore and we were discussing how it would be when she returns back to the States. "Why be sad? There is no need to. The next day is Zhiren's big day and all of you should be happy." Somehow I just felt that it could be a bit more harder as she stayed a longer time this time round, and also we talked a lot more this time round as I have already grown up and there were much more conversations. But she is right. There is no time actually to ponder about her departure. Preparations are still a bit more to go and everyday brings more excitement.
Took out the marriage cert and had a long look at it. Its beautiful and this is the one and only cert in the world many covet but failed to hold it. Love is like making dough. You got to re do and re do again. Love needs to be re sown and grown again and again.It should never stop. Although it is only 4 days more, but the hard work is ahead. Gambate!
