Marriage

31 05 2009

It was Melvin’s and Ruth’s wedding today. Very happy to see them married. A match made in heaven. Perfect for each other :)

Was happy to tweet away both on my twitter account and also on Melvin’s via the home computers and Melvin’s iPhone. Many followers. The interaction during the wedding made it more fun [ hashtag= #twedding]

Really great to catch up with old friends whom I’ve grown up with, friends I’m still in touch with and my colleagues too. Realised I really like my work team – Cal, Ams and SY… was just fun to hang out and chit chat…though it was a non work day. Was good to see David too. Funny how after the wedding, we were all online, tweeting away, planning WEddings, checking out Cal’s photos and Ams asking me to tweet at her wedding! Ha. I love Studio D.

In between, had some time to catch up with Tim Bala, who flew all the way from Perth. He brought up a good point… of how he believes that after two people marry, their lives can become more. Bigger, wider, stronger. Blessing many…not just keeping to themselves. Yeah, we’ve both seen couples who shrink away after getting married. I do hope when I get married, it will be about more than the two of us. Just like Joe Chean’s family, I want to invite guests over for dinner. Just like Kheong and Annie, I want to give . Just like the Lims, I want to open my house for those who need family.

Oh yes… also the point of “settling down”. That just brings negative connotations. It just makes marriage seem boring and mundane. Why can’t it be an adventure? Why can’t the coming together of two fuel dreams to be chased, purposes to be fulfilled, hope to be caught? Why can’t it be out and not in ? Why can’t it be more rather than less?

Melvin and Ruth, my wedding wishes – live for more :)
