My second surprise for Beng for the day was the presence of Toh and Alan. (Recap: first surprise was the studio photography but it was not a pleasant surprise, rather it was a why-am-I-not-fat surprise!)
I invited Toh and Alan, Beng’s best friends, without his knowledge. I told them not to let Beng know about it and if Beng invites them, they must turn him down immediately. They agreed and Toh, despite having a newborn on Aug 6, came and stayed until 10.30pm because
Cost of studio photography: $135, Cost of Beng's shirt: $35, Cost of the surprised look on Beng’s face when he sees Toh and Alan: priceless. He was like, “eh, how come you are here!” Twice!
The ceremony went on as planned and smoothly. We recited our vows perfectly. Pastor David calmed our nerves greatly before the march-in and Pastor Ed cracked some jokes during the exhortation. Overall, the experience was great and the memory is priceless. We ended the ceremony with a thank-you speech by Beng and a speech by yours truly, plus my present for Beng. (my third surprise).
I will post our speech and our vows , plus a picture of my present for Beng in my next post while waiting for the photos to come in.
