So Hold On To Me Tight
 

                                                     LOIRE TSUI

 

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jack who loved a girl named Christina and he asked her to marry him.  They tied the knot on Sunday, May 30 at Irvine Presbyterian Church in front of their families and friends.  Jack, being the musician he is, serenaded Christina down the aisle to Michael Buble’s “Hold On”.

Christina looked breathtaking from the top of her gorgeous bridal headband to the tips of her “something blue” heels. And of course everyone was delighted to see Ethan Shih as the ring bearer.

After witnessing the newlyweds kiss as Mr. and Mrs. Chang and receive their blessings from Pastor Ken Wong, the wedding party moved to the reception, hosted at Celebrations by Turnip Rose.

There was a dance floor, a photo booth complete with cowboy hats and boas, a delicious buffet, a fabulous ice cream sundae bar, a strawberry stand filled with chocolate-dipped strawberries and a beautiful and delicious 3-tiered wedding cake.  And if that wasn’t enough to keep us entertained, the brother of the groom, Peter Chang, gave a winning speech that most of us aren’t likely to forget any time soon (She-Ra, anyone?)

True to Chinese tradition, the couple had a private tea ceremony and later in the evening Christina changed twice –first into an embroidered chi-pao and then to a one-shoulder white silk cocktail dress. The happy couple danced and toasted the night away, and now they’re living their happily ever after.

 
 

緊緊擁抱我             

LOIRE TSUI

    不久前,有一個叫 Jack 的男孩愛上一個叫 Christina 的女孩,並向她求婚。他們于530日週日在爾灣長老教會他們的家人和朋友的祝福下永結連理。身為音樂家的Jack Michael Buble的小夜曲擁抱我悠揚浪漫的樂曲聲中,引領Christina步入紅地毯。

Christina從頭頂的美麗婚紗到腳著淡雅微藍的高跟鞋,處處讓人感到驚艷。當然大家都高興地看到Ethan Shih是個稱職的小花童。

 

Ken Wong 牧師的祝福下,新人彼此親吻而成為張先生和夫人。之後,婚禮移到 Celebrations by Turnip Rose” 招待廳,繼續慶祝活動。

 
在舞池的四周,有由牛仔帽和蟒蛇搭配的照片展示區,有美味的自助餐,有可口的冰淇淋聖代吧,有一個充滿巧克力的草莓臺,並有一個既美觀又美味的三層婚禮蛋糕。如果這還不足以讓我們歡娛,新郎的兄弟 Peter Chang 發表的感人演說更是繞樑三日,讓我們久久不能忘懷。

 

新婚夫婦為忠於中國傳統禮俗,有一個私人茶聚。後來在晚上Christina改換了兩次衣著,第一次是一個繡花旗袍,然後是一肩白色絲綢雞尾酒禮服。快樂的夫婦跳了一晚上舞,從此他們過著幸福美滿的生活。(饒賢偉中譯)
