.. I chuckled as I read this story from a blog :)
My husband is a pastor, and as you know pastor's do lots of wedding ceremonies. The first wedding my husband did was going smoothly up until asking for the rings. The Best man and the Maid of honor carefully handed him the rings which he then placed on his opened Bible. He spoke a few words about the rings and then the rings fell of his Bible and rolled under the bride's dress. Brian stood there not sure if it were appropriate for him to "go in" after them or wait for somebody to get them. Meanwhile, we all got a good chuckle. Not to long after that wedding he had another one to do. Not learning from his first mistake he took the rings placed them on his Bible and proceeded to have them also roll off his Bible causing the wedding party to frantically search for them which were once again under the bride's dress. Since then Brian has stopped trying to lay them on the bible and just holds them in his hand--6 years later he has yet to drop another set of rings. But I do enjoy reminding him about it every chance I get!
Hehe, must make sure Ps Wilson places Han and Joy's rings at a very safe place lest we have to send a search party under Joy's wedding gown! Ahhh... I'm excited about this wedding. Of course, it is needless to say since it's my beloved shep's big day! I'm sure we all feel the same... Joy & Han are such blessings to all of us! I'm so thrilled to see this sweet couple soon step in to the next chapter of their lives.
As the big day draw close, a number of exciting things have taken place. We've had the bridal shower and behind-closed-door girly chats (surrounding imperative topics like: When and how did Han first declare his love to you, huh??... What mush-mushy name does he call you? Aww... don't blush! We're sure there is!!... Yes, how many kids do you both want to have? Oh, the size of a football team? Wow, God, have mercy...! lol). Joy has also embarked on her must-do-before-I-get-married act ofcrazily courgeously throwing herself off a plane thousands of feet above ground (Seriously, this adrenaline-pumping act is soooo no where to be found in my "to-do-before-marriage" nor "to-do-before-I-die" list. If anything, it is likely that this act may just expediate the day when I meet Jesus face to face!!).
What's next in the wedding schedule consist of music rehearsals, deco preparations and final tying-of-loose ends till the big day. I'll be singing in the wedding! Haha, this is my nth time singing for weddings! My friends back home in Msia actually call me the wedding singer. People have asked before how does it feel like singing for weddings as compared to other events. Good question. Hmm, upon pondering, my thought is this.... Wedding singing is simply special. It emits a very sweet sense beyond words, especially when you know that the couple is truly in love. It's a celebration of love and warmth. Happiness just naturally overflows from my heart as I witness two beautiful people unified as one under the love umbrella of Christ!
The best of it all is singing in weddings of people close to your heart. There's such an indescribable joy! ... You know how it goes: You see your loved ones shyly tell you that they like someone or that some significant people are pursuing them.... sometime later, be it via a smooth sailing journey or after some sensational dramas, they come together as a couple.... And then, on that very special, blessed day, you have the privilege of witnessing them walk down the aisle hand-in-hand, sealing their commitment to one another. Being the wedding singer, even as you sing onstage, every note that you sing is simply an expression of your heartfelt blessing to them as you also share in the wonders of their sweet bliss! That's exactly how I feel as we begin to practise for Joy's wedding. More than just a wonderful singing presentation or a plaudible musical ensemble, my heart's desire is that it be one that puts a smile on God's face and points people towards Him. In addition... I also want it to be one that stirs and melts the hearts of all who are present that day into trusting and believing once again that true lifelong love between a man and a woman does indeed exist! :)
