Wedding

Love, love, love. I love how she is playing with his hair.

Love, love, love. I love how she is playing with his hair.

You find out everything through facebook now days. Information such as when a friend's birthday is coming up (and you completely forgot), or when friend A is now friends with friend E (and you thought to yourself, wowsers, it's a small world), or when someone is "In a Relationship".

A while ago, I noticed Tara (this awesomely top chick who I met through FEVA mission) changed her status from being "Single" to "In a Relationship" with a strapping young man with blue eyes and blonde hair. Naturally, being in this industry, everytime someone gets into a serious relationship, I always have my eyes pealed and wait with anticipation until the "In a Relationship" status is changed to "Engaged". So I waited... And not before long, I noticed with glee that Tara's status was changed to "Engaged". I almost jumped out of my seat and punched the air (but I resisted). I thought... "MYHAT, they are a hot couple... I hope they contact me!" So I secretly hoped that they would contact me... I tried sending some "Taraaaaa... Contact Lindaaaa" vibes to her.

I suppose it worked, because I almost fell out of my seat when I saw Inbox (1). IT WAS FROM HER!!

"Hey Linda. What's been going on? So what's your September like? Sunday the 26th to be exact. If you haven't been fb stalking, you might not know that I'm engaged to this nice boy called Andrew. Anyway we need a photographer for our wedding and you're the first person that I thought of. I've been fb stalking your albums - loving them.."

It was then, when I actually punched the air with glee and did a little happy dance...

A few months later, I was walking down the aisle to greet this "nice boy" called Andrew for the first time (just moments before Tara was going to make her grand entrance to the church), he shook my hand (which I noticed was slightly clammy), greeted me with a smile, introduced me to his groom's men and made me feel like we've been mates for years (despite having only met him 2 seconds ago). He was eagerly awaiting for his Tara to walk in! While she was walking towards him, he was beaming with happiness. Throughout the ceremony, I noticed that he stared lovingly at his Tara and smiled. It's moments like these that I love. The loving glances. Placement of the hand on the small of the back. Holding hands; fingers intertwined and thumb carressing the back of the palm. A stolen kiss on the left temple right after their first kiss as husband and wife. Andrew absolutely adores Tara. No doubt, Andrew will love, lead and protect Tara till as long as they both shall live. 

The day was beautiful. There were plenty of laughs! It was a great day to remember the beginning of their lives togerher.

... When Tara updated her status to "Married", I smiled widely and punched the air with glee "Yes! I was able to be part of that day!!".

I praise God that I have an amazing job!

Wedding

Love, love, love! Her smile really warms my heart on this cold, wet, summers day! :D

I met Aaron a few years ago at an event run by FEVA (Fellowship for Evangelism in the Visual Arts). We had some pretty rad chats about theology and life (conversation wouldn't end unless we bagged each other out about something petty). Although he was/is quite a joker (he had this ability to get people into hysterics), it was quite evident that he was maturing into a wise individual. Not the sort with white hair + beard. But rather, one who was serious about life and Jesus.

Aaron and Laura met through mutual friends. Initially Aaron thought that Laura was totally out of his league. Their friendship developed and as they got to know each other more, their zeal for Jesus and to see His name made famous fused them together and they were inseparable!

The first time I met Laura was at a FEVA wedding just over a year ago. Aaron had his hand placed lightly on the small of her back as he waved hello to me and said "Hey Linda, this is Laura... We're dating...". We smiled at each other and shook hands. I noticed that she had gorgeous blue eyes and blonde curly hair. What a hottie! But in all seriousness, although they were only dating, knowing Aaron, he was pretty serious about this chick.

A few months rolled on and the next time I saw Laura, she had a ring on her finger and a gorgeous smile that graced her face. It was from then on, we started getting to know one another (esp since she was super excited to have her photographs taken by a particular crazy Asian girl - the crazy Asian girl was also pretty excited). The more we spoke, the more I saw the beauty in her that Aaron fell in love with. She is funny, has a warm hearty laugh, super loving, supportive, gentle and honest (she can also dance - which makes her super rad).

... They are so right for one another. Their love for God will strengthen their love for one another. No doubt, they will be used to make an impact in people's lives.

  • I think the bride is super funky to wear glasses & have a change into Converse shoes. They look like a fun-loving couple.

It's been a while since I busted out this baby... When I look at this image, the only thing I can hear is "Chariots of Fire".

Kelvin was a mate of Jamie's cousin. When they met for the first time (when Kelvin tagged along with the cousin to Jamie's house), Kelvin was absolutely smitten by Jamie (who wouldn't? She is so flipping cute), however, time and circumstance hindered Kelvin from pursuing her. So he pushed her to the back of his mind. A few years later, they bumped into one another at church and Kelvin remembered his friend's cousin, yes, the cute one, Jamie, the one who he was smitten with. Time and circumstance permitted him this time, so he pursued her. He hunted her down, so to speak (HA! not really). And over time, their newfound friendship grew to a deep seeded love for one another.

There is something endearing about their story. It taught me that there are times where "now" isn't the right time. But if it's "meant to be", it will happen and if not, then it's all good in the hood. We need to trust in the One who is in control over all, that His plans are greater than ours...

We had a lovely time hanging out and getting to know each other. We explored, talked, laughed together and took some photos here and there. I seriously love my job! Thanks God! :D :D :D
