Attended a church wedding today from one of my financial counsultants at Jurong Christian Church. Church wedding to me is always a different atmosphere than traditional chinese ceremony. Perhaps, it gives a more western style feeling. A warm, merry and classy atmosphere. On the other hand, traditional chinese ceremony always give me a feeling of 'kampong' type of merry with all the noises and mess. After seeing so much wedding and especially the church weddings with the songs and prayers, it just a very different feeling and of course I do always prefer church wedding than traditional chinese ceremony. My preference will never be changed. Guess different religious people will feel differently due to their belonging. Even the red carpet path at the church auditorium gives me a totally different feeling from the one at the banquet ballroom.
The holy matrimony was held in both english and mandarin languages, but the exchanging of vow was conversed in mandarin. So far, I had not attended such a touching and creative wedding ceremony. It was really a different one with surprise. Quite impressed by the pretty bride in the way she responsed the vow. She sang a song title 'wo yuan yi - 我愿意' by faye wong before she response on the vow. She sang really well with her sweet voice. Can see that she put in alot of effort in the preparation. The pastor also prepared a chinese poem created from both the couples' chinese name. My sincere congratulation to the newly wed couples and may the lord bless them with a blissful marriage and a lifetime of happiness =)
