My brother's wedding solemnization is today. I wanted to post photos onto the site but blogger had some problems uploading the photos. 06-06-06. "The date resembles "666", the supposed Mark of the Beast, and many people believe that one or more calamities may occur on this day." Hmm... Still wondering if it's a good day for such joyous occasion. But I guess it doesn't matter because my family members are not Christians. I am guessing that on 8th August 2008 and 9th September 2009, there will be lots of people wanting to solemnize or to hold such ceremonies since the number "8" and "9" embodies the meaning of wealth and longevity respectively. Today’s ceremony was held at Sembawang Park, Beaulieu House. I suppose it was to be a garden wedding type but everything was simple. Eh... A little too simple in my opinion and perhaps a little messy because I find the atmosphere a little awkward as the people who attended the ceremony were not really close family friends and relatives though both of my paternal aunties and one of my maternal aunts turned up. Oh well, if this is what the couple wanted then let it be. I am now waiting for the traditional Chinese wedding dinner to take place. =P I wish the newly wedded couple bliss and happiness and that they will take good care of each other since they have decided to come together and live their lives with each other till they grow old. Ah... I suddenly remembered why I was uneasy during the ceremony. They did not exchange personalized wedding vows to one another (ok, maybe I watched too much television programmes).
