~~A Lifetime Bonding~~
Juz came back from town after having attended Carine's solemnisation at ROM this morning. Now she is officially known as Mrs Hew....haha...another Mrs within the ranks. Made my way down ard 9+ in the morning...was a tad too early since the time to meet was 10 actually. Gave me the opportunity to explore the place I have never been before. Within sight were alot of flustered yet blissful looking couples who were just minutes away from entering into a bond to last a lifetime.
Met up with peepz like Regine and Angeline not long after as they shared their experiences on their respective Big Day as well. Carine...the reason why we were there so early in the day was late....not again...hahaha!! She was looking her best today in a very nice gown with the more meticulous than usual make-up. And she didn't show any signs of nerves which I thought all soon to be married couples would. From then on, it was all the way a massive photo-taking session...btw...Carine's dad is a professional photographer...lolz!!! Only when the staff beckoned for the couple to move forward did it stop.
We were asked to proceed to the 2nd level where the solemnisation was to be held. It didn't take too long before the couple was asked into a solemnisation room to exchange their vows. ROM is efficient sia...haha. Then onwards, the couple were led by the J.P.(Justice Of Peace) through their matriomonial vows followed by the exchange of rings. I would have repeated the procedures step by step if I had a photographic memory...lolz!~ It is amazing how such a simple but solemn ceremony would actually be so meaningful. At least it touches me at that very moment. Happy for a friend who deserves her happiness..happy for a guy who got himself a good wife...heh~
The ceremony didn't take more than 10minutes...and after that it was photos galore again...haha..Carine's dad is back in action with his professional camera. From the lobby to the respective decors and to the park besides the building...no scenery or background was spared...haha...I think it must have been 1-2hrs after before we actually made our way for lunch. We were treated to a ala-carte buffet lunch at Crown Prince Hotel. Food was reasonably good. Had a good time chatting with fellow guests while enjoying the slow and relaxed lunch. We actually stayed till the restaurant was about to close to prepare for the evening crowd.
I must say it had been a good experience for me to be able to sit in and experience such a meaningful event unfold before my eyes. It is meaningful to me because I had witnessed for myself a good friend of mine taking her very first step towards a blissful life from today onwards. I am sure I speak for the rest of the group as well. : )
