Today's celebrations were in two contrasting colours.
I started my day today in church singing for Max and Andrea's holy matrimony. It was beautiful witnessing the couple blessed by God's presence and being called up by God to be together in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And to be part of the joyful celebration was just priceless. After the wedding mass, we were treated with a meaty galore buffet! Platter of ham, roasted pork, roast chicken, fish, prawns, yong tau foo; anything to make me salivate and overeat! I had my meal to the fullest and had a great time dancing and singing with the crowd. As we were eating, we're serenaded by a 60-something man who sang beautiful numbers mesmerizingly! It brought back memoirs as the songs he sang were songs of the 60s, 70s and the 80s. It was almost 4 when I went back with Amelia and Adeline to get myself changed and have a good rest before mass starts.
Mass was fine today minus the fact that I was late. I drove halfway to church to remember that I forgot to pick Christine and Jonathan up from their place. Urgh! Eventually, I had to make a U-turn back and was late. Regardless, it was so warm and nice giving and receiving hugs from church members as a sign of peace.
During dinner, we got a message from Cannis saying his mom passed on in the afternoon. The whole feeling turned sombre and it was pretty sad to hear that. So we decided to cut short the caroling practice and attend the wake @ the funeral parlour. We sang a song and recited the rosary. However, the dead's husband was joyfully jugging into his cans of beer. Regardless, it was obvious that the sadness in the eyes will betray a person's smile.
Condolences to the Rozario family~
Today I learnt one thing. Marriage is a start of a total new life which will end in death. As the saying goes '...till death do us part...', I believe that the death of a spouse is the beginning of another 'new life'. It's definitely not an easy task... wonder will mine be... ?
*tiba tiba emo duno for what!*
tears of joy?

*being ignorant*
hmmmm~~~~ u noe wat... on tat same night, i and William also chatted tat v r all property of GOD, and tat marriage is when v borrow our other half from GOD for an unspecific time frame, til he wants to take it back... Til death when the couple is separated.... and tat only death can the couple part, and tat other people shall not try to break up what GOD has put together, neither can other people simply "transpast" his property... therefore respect his property.. =p
I agree with what you said.. and i like the way you paraphrase these prophecies together.. We should not separate what God has put together.. friends alike.. thus the saying "Love one another as I have loved you" applies here.. :) GBU
