Venue: Sola, Kobe
A bright and sunny Sunday.
Dressed in my traditional purple Batik Kebaya.
Sola was nice and lovely.
The bride in her beautiful white gown.
The bridegroom in his own casual style.
Entrusted as the "ring girl", I walked the aisle.
Tears dropped, cherishing the meaningful moment.
A couple united, witnessed by the "Sola".
This is the first time I attended a Japanese friends wedding, happily accepted the role bringing the "knot ring" but I realized then it wasn't as easy as it sounds. Everything was lovely, and they looked happy, faces full of hope and faith as they're actually papa and mama to be. Wishing them a future full of happiness, wealth and good health... Lastly, a wedding poem to share;
In the marriage the little things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say 'I love you' at least once a day.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together and facing the world.....
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is not only marrying the right person.
It is being the right partner.
"You don't marry someone you can live with - you marry the person who you cannot live without."...
