I attended an old friend's wedding mass and it was the second wedding that made me teary in all the weddings I have attended. As I saw her enter the church, I felt as if my childhood friend was getting married. It really meant a lot to be invited to it.
Marrying a Eurasian meant that certain traditions would reflect the culture. As my friend walked up the aisle, I was blown away by her bridesmaids' dresses. The dresses' closest colour I can think of is light bronze, and they had lace sleeves and hemlines. The length was till the knees. They looked like vintage cocktail dresses!
When my friend walked in, I was in love with her wedding gown. It had similar lace sleeves with a lace neckline, and looked like a ballgown. I liked her traditional costume too. It had colours of pink and purple. I especially liked her pearl jewellery set which complemented the costume :)
The hymns were traditional and the readings were meaningful. The first reading was one that was close to my heart, taken from the Song of Songs book. That book is a love song between God and Man, in the same way that a man should love a woman. It really was a wedding that had love and friendship. It was good seeing her parents and rejoicing together with them. I also liked catching up with some friends during the reception :)
