Bridal Photos |

Posted at Tuesday, April 03, 2007 |
Well it's time to write about happy stuff! Happy but damaging to the pockets stuff .
We finally got to see our photos last Saturday. We were both rather stunned when our coordinator Ann brought out a huge stack of photos and told us that the stack only contained the outdoor shots. It looked like it was gonna be a long long day...
But well, we managed to eliminate more than half of the photos pretty quickly. After the first cut, we were left with 169 photos. At $80 a pop, that was far too damaging to our health - both financially and physically!
So we looked harder and filtered it down to 111. After some haggling and reluctant discarding of more photos, we managed to get a pretty reasonable price, so much so that we decided to keep all the 111 photos in the end. Funny thing is that after a final count, it was actually 113, so we kinda got 2 photos free. It's not much, but it's one of those small irrational things that makes one feel better...
The photos were really fantastic - they turned out to be more beautiful than we thought possible. The photos simply left us really impressed with the photographer Bryan. At least there won't be as much photoshopping required. :p
One more item down. A thousand little items to go. Thank god we hired a wedding planner! |

The ripple and the wave |
|
Posted at Monday, April 02, 2007 |
A ripple in the ocean can gradually build up into a giant wave. One man's actions can change the world.
I was a Christian once. Then I decided that the Christian God wasn't the kind whom I could put my blind faith in. However, I still held onto the idea of a higher power. There was a plan in motion so vast that I will never be able to remotely comprehend. We are afterall, just men.
Events last week led me to ponder if there really was such a higher power. And in the end, I decided that there probably is.
What if one man's death can rally a thousand to action? What if one man's death can change the lives of those around him forever? A man's death might serve as a constant silent reminder to cherish all around us, to never take family and friends for granted, to live life as if each day might be the last.
That perhaps is the lesson. And that is a lesson I intend to hold dear and try my best to act upon. |
