We were greeted by foggy weather in Shanghai yesterday afternoon, weather was about 16 degrees, high by mid-jan standard. Still, i was shivering as my body hadn't adjusted to this temperature after having enjoyed high twenties for the last 2 weeks.
Anyway, too many things happened on the trip, but i'll pick 2 highlights for now, the 2 weddings that i've attended. the main purpose of the trip back.
In chronological order...One to end the year and the other to begin it.
Eugene and Esther- 25th December 2007
Location: Bride and Groom's home, Shangrila

Music: Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
These are the highlights for daytime. I must have watched it for the 10th time now, and i can keep going. As i recall that day, waking up at 530am was no small feat after a night of christmas eve partying, but still every minute awake was worth it. I got to witness and be part of my first JIE XIN NIANG (picking up the bride), and i saw 2 of my best friends finally tie the knot...
Anyway, the lucky numbers bride and groom picked strike 4D 3rd prize. What a good follow up.

Mark and Heather- 6th Jan 2008
Location: The Sentosa
Emblem Design: the groom himself
I was late and missed the walk-in, but thankfully just in time for the vows. 10 seconds into the wedding, i was crying buckets of joy. Uncontrollably.... I cried when the groom said his vows, i cried when the bride said hers. Then i cried again when heather's mom dedicated a song to the couple. Then i cried again when i hugged the bride and groom.
I knew they were writing their own vows, in fact i could more or less expect the content, but i didn't expect the effect to be so overwhelming. It was very sincere and really really touching.
Our most sincere best wishes to both couples.
ADDTIONALLY:
On top of the personalised emblem design, mark also created their own slideshow. Its unlike any other slideshow we watch during dinners, its just very THEM. The subjects in the pictures move...super trippy. If anybody wants a slideshow this style, i would be happy to accept referral commission. ha ha.
(FYI Mark is a graphic designer at this sporty channel we all watch every week).
