Part 5: Marriage
Took half day leave to go to Jean’s Registration of Marriage as her official photographer. For non-Singaporean, in Singapore, ROM is something like a prequel to the actual wedding banquet and party. This is where you sign the deal.
To tell the truth I was both really excited and scared at the same time. Excited because this is the first time I have the chance to have free models to take something important (and commercial) like wedding photos. Scared shitless because this is my first time and as a good friend I don’t want to fuck up my good friend’s wedding’s prequel. It’s a very special and intimate moment for her, her hubby and their family. So well, I did the best I could. The result, well, you be the judge ok (Uploading some to facebook. Got time will up to pacevolution.blogspot.com later).
As if it didn’t help, the weather was crazy. It rained the whole day and the sky was really cloudy. The whole outdoor areas are wet and gloomy. The indoor suite for registration is poorly lit with yellow tungsten lights. Lucky I brought my white balance sheet. So well, I’m not using these as an excuse, but I’m just saying for an inexperience semi-pro like me, it’s a really hard task.
Afterwards we went to this very nice Chinese seafood restaurant. It was a really nice cozy family lunch with a lot of good wishes and laughters.
To be frank with you, I was thinking of funny jokes about marriage the whole time. Contact me if you wanna hear a few. Funny guaranteed. But at the end of the day, I was jealous with Jean. She looks so happy, and whole. Wish I could be that happy and wholesome someday. But well she’s nice and kind. I’m just an asshole with big bad mouth. So I cant be jealous. LOL.
It’d be nice if someone can make you whole and happy. But in the end happiness is an inside job. So I’m happy right now. I’m happy with the people of my life. I’m glad I’m loved.
And I might not be a good photographer yet. But I’m heading there. 
I’m married and committed to my Arts. Oh and I’m doing a series of charcoal drawings and oil paintings. So stay tuned!!!
