Marriage made in Heaven

Just last Sat (12th Nov), I was invited to sing for Zewei and Edna's wedding. It was a very interesting experience, partly because I was given the opportunity to sing as BV together with June (I haven't qualified to sing as BV in church btw... :P), and mostly because these two were my good friends.

Seeing two of your friends get married to one another is an incredible experience, especially for me since I've known their love story (or at least a part of it) since day 1. I was there when they first met together at our (same) first orientation camp, and I've seen the many twists and turns of their love story, and I'm so happy to see them finally get together.

I guess what's meant to be will be, what God had meant to put together will come to past, and let no man put asunder. :)

So Zewei, Edna, here's wishing you both all the best! And many happy happy years ahead! :)

Here's a song dedicated to the both of you. It's 给你们, by Phil Chang.

给你们 - 张宇
词：十一郎
曲：张宇
编曲：Michael Thompson

他将是你的新郎
从今以后他就是你一生的伴
他的一切都将和你紧密相关
福和祸都要同当

她将是你的新娘
她是别人用心托付在你手上
你要用你一生加倍照顾对待
苦或喜都要同享

一定是特别的缘份
才可以一路走来变成了一家人
他多爱你几分
你多还他几分
找辛福的可能
从此不再是一个人
要处处时时想着念的都是"我们"
你付出了几分
爱就圆满了几分

(My original intention was to sing the song myself, but I haven't been able to do so, and this entry's been held up for some time, so I'm uploading the original. I might do a version of it sometime in the future. ;))

PS: Something important I learnt from the preaching during the holy matrimony: Marriage isn't about give and take, it's not about compromise. Marriage is about sacrifice, it's about giving yourself wholeheartedly, a 100% to your spouse.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD. (Prov 18:22, NKJV)
