William & Aifeng spell love

During their banquet, William used all the letters in Aifeng's name to tell her why he loved her.  She was so touched she did not know how to respond, but who would?  She did give him a meaningful look though, and from that look I knew immediately that she had responded in kind...

Love can be expressed in so many ways, it's amazing.

  

Kwang Yong & Yee Ling - serenading the old town

My first taste of Ipoh, and boy was it was full of flavour!  Just like the indigenous cuisine, the character of the place and its people is near the surface of its skin - warm, with the feeling of immediate closeness.

Yee Ling is the Ipoh native while Kwang Yong is Singaporean, yet in Ipoh all big city complexities melt away.  This magical old town traces the roots of their relationship, and will forever hold special meaning for them. 

Yee Ling loves the old town coffee she grew up with, and now Kwang Yong loves it too.

Now isn't that a co-incidence?  =)

William & Aifeng's little love holiday

William and Aifeng are a match made...in the UK.  The land of church bells and quaint cafes lulled them into passing their days in the comfort of each others' company. 

Sweet romance seems so easy for some people...

Michael & Michelle become M&M in Jakarta

Michael & Michelle's wedding was a first in so many ways - first time in Jakarta, first time seeing such a big church/ big ballroom/ big everything, and an awesome first time witnessing the cutting of a huge wedding cake with a long sword!  I'm still thinking of it...such a small but quirky segment in the whole proceedings.

After getting the full experience, I felt that their wedding was like two weddings back home.  Everything was done on a big scale, with grandeur and opulence the key themes.  Whilst staring in disbelief at the advancing troupe of ballerinas leading the couple into the cavernous ballroom, I couldn't help but feel half the city was present to watch the both of them tie the knot.  I looked at Michelle to see if she was feeling nervous since this was the first Indonesian wedding for her too (and what a wedding!), but she was smiling and calm, with one hand tucked safely in the crook of Michael's arm.  Michael seemed contented.

Like M&Ms, they may melt in your mouth, but definitely not in each others' hands.
