IMAGES OF PAUL AND JUN SHI'S WEDDING

I learned something new about wedding photos done by professionals. They take ages to come out. Thus for Samuel and Rachael's wedding, I did not have much candid shots, apart from the ones in my handphone. For Paul and Jun Shi's wedding, I was more prepared. Meng How was tasked to take photos of the registration of marriage at the Hakka Association. My niece Suanie was roped in to take candid shots of the wedding procedure. Well, she was almost professional!

At the Hakka Association to do all the legal paperwork:

The Tea Ceremony: We adhered to tradition. The resort had provided us with a room to host the tea ceremony. I was glad my nieces were around to help. Lyanna explained the significance of the ceremony (she did with much humor and gusto).

Suan and Denise helped with the pouring of tea and cleaning of the cups. It was rather fun.

The Wedding: After all the drama, the wedding finally proceeded as planned. By the grace of God, the weather was just perfect. Rachael did the invocation and Rev. Lee conducted the wedding ceremony.

Our 2 nieces Easter and Erica led in the Praise and Worship.
