Ben & Ivy's wedding

She was the happiest bride I've ever seen. =)

Today I attended Ben & Ivy's wedding. A couple from John's church. It was the sweetest wedding I've attended, with the best atmosphere and the happiest and brightest bride, as well as the blur-est bridegroom. XD

When she stepped into the sanctuary, walking down the aisle, happiness and excitement was just beaming from her face and smile, it could not be contained. When everyone is focusing on the beautiful and elegant bride walking down the aisle, I like to look back at the groom. Today I saw the excitement in his eyes, the love and happiness that could not be masked. It was a beautiful day.

Throughout the ceremony, Ivy teared over and over again. When we were worshiping God, when her friends gave testimonies about her and her relationship with Ben, when she received wishes from her beloved ones...... I wonder what was going through her mind, her heart. The emotions must have been so overwhelming (in a lovely way).

As they were saying their vows, many mistakes were made especially by the groom. Hahaha... guess he was that nervous. Or, maybe he was drown in her eyes and wasn't paying full attention to what was being said. =p But it was funny, we were entertained. Hahaha... And at the end of his vow, Ivy gave a big encouragement by initiating a round of applause for him! =D What a good spirit! Hehe! And then, the ceremony ended with the couple dance-walking out the sanctuary accompanied by a cute song! *Awwhhh~ love that!* =D

**I like weddings filled with happiness, love, romance, laughter, warmth and tears of joy.**

The wedding dinner was great too! The ambience was great. A ballroom decorated with purple flowers and pink candles. The lights were warm and the people were happy. When the time came, the couple stepped into the ballroom and walked down the aisle singing a song together! How sweet! There were also a few presentations and a funny yet sweet game! Haha and of course, not forgetting the toasts! *think I need to get some ear plugs when John throw toasts beside me.. =p* There was no karaoke, I guess no one got drunk either, it wasn't too traditional (chinese) but maintained the important elements of our tradition. It was warm and sweet, filled with laughter and joy. The bride and groom were so natural and did not hold back their joy throughout the day. They were themselves. It was the best wedding dinner I've been to so far.

I heard that they have gone through much in their relationship and have come to marriage's door. They've chosen to step into it together with courage and faith. Although I do not know them well, I see a sweet couple strong in their faith with God and each other blooming. I wish them all the best and to grow more and more in love with each other through the years to come. =)
