childhood best friends
was in Hong Kong for the weekend to attend my childhood friend's wedding & really felt the urge to write everything down so i don't forget.
though tbh, i don't think words can adequately express the emotions i felt.
touched down on Friday evening and headed to the hotel where the gatecrash would be the next day, and waited for the bride-to-be to arrive and carry out the hair combing rituals.
it was really nice to see her whole family - people i had grown up with; people whom i knew because they had seen me grow up and we were at each other's houses all the time.
the waves of emotions hit when:
1. the groom took out a handwritten note and read from it. he promised to love her, to comfort her, to be by her side even as life might not be kind; and most importantly promised to do the housework
2. i saw my friend enter the church with her father; walking down the aisle as the most beautiful bride. how far she has come and how much she has grown and she found someone to spend the rest of her life with.
3. bride and groom entered the restaurant during their march-in. it was nothing fancy, but she looked so beautiful in her dress i was literally bawling because she deserved this so much and it was so joyous to see her getting married.
<3 p="">also very thankful for:
- her lovely bridesmaids who made the effort to talk to me
- bringing me for lunch / breakfast / to church
- playing mahjong with me before the dinner
- checking in to make sure everything was fine
- looking out for me
- thoughtful bride who arranged for make-up artists for all of us so that we too could be dolled up on her special occasion
- sermon that really spoke to me (remember dai bei dai aka Tabitha in the Bible)
