Marina & Harold's Wedding

Hi.. Have been "missing" from blogging since February. I was busy helping my sister with her wedding arrangements. First wedding in the family, so no experience at all. Thankfully everything went well. These are wedding pictures taken at Stella Maris Church in Tanjung Aru on 28 March 2008. It was a Friday, so just a few friends and relatives were able to come. Only Auntie Magline from my dad's side came. Even my dad was unable to attend cause he was in Lahad Datu stuck with something (like always..). My brother, Raymund did the honour of walking my sister to the aisle. That was great. He got the chance of wearing a formal coat hehehe.

Rasa bangga juga sebab abang sulung saya (Alfred) telah terpilih untuk mengikuti misi ini. Sempat menghabiskan masa bersama abang, kakak ipar dan anak-anak semasa mereka berada di Kota Kinabalu sebelum abang bertolak. Semoga abang diberkati Tuhan untuk sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat dan selamat semasa di sana. Amen.
