At first, he didn’t think she was pretty. At first, his jokes were not very funny.
But slowly she began to laugh with him, and he began to find her cuddly.
So begins the love of Shirley and Chek Wei, through ups and downs, triumphs and failures.
Thank you Shirley and Chek Wei for giving such an honest speech about your lives revealing even failures many of us would have kept to ourselves.
Shirley and I studied together at River Valley High, being asked to shoot her wedding was a real honour.
The couple’s speeches were beautifully delivered in Mandarin and poetic verses, which made it more so endearing.
I was moved to tears by Shirley’s recollection of her childhood experiences and how her father always made sure they had more than enough to eat even though work was though.
Chek Wei thanked his brother for always giving up the best things for him and his mother for being a strict disciplinarian, and always making sure he gets a full breakfast before school.
The hall was a spread of laughter and tears that overflowed, even from the most stoic of fathers.
Their wedding montage was a slideshow dedicated to their parents with photographs of how they painstakingly brought them up. It was such a wonderful wedding, dedicated to the people who made them who they were.
Thank you Shirley and Chekwei for your insight to love.
