Honeymoon in Greece - Part I

The final 2 weeks before the wedding was the most hectic period - all sorts of counting down, final decisions to be made, special care and attention to needs of parents and family members etc ..., so I didn't have much time to diligently planned the 15 days honeymoon. Time was running out as we would be taking off to Greece only 2 days after the wedding !

So my best friends kindly offered to help me with the final booking of ALL the accommodation in the 3 cities in Greece which we were visiting - Athens, Santorini and Crete. Special big thanks for their efficiency and great effort to shortlist, book and liaise with the hotels and arranged the best for me and my hubby. What a wonderful wedding gift for us !

On our wedding day, I was given a package of the honeymoon material marked "To be opened on your honeymoon". Woh...the joy of this half -half expected planning of our honeymoon was unspeakably memorable to us!

Finally, I sorted out some photos of our honeymoon in Greece last night. Photos can be viewed at this link:

More to come soon ... : )

The world is put on hold ...

Many have sent us positive feedback and nice comments about how much they have enjoyed our wedding. (me too!) One of which is the anthem - AS THE BRIDEGROOM - delivered by the 80 members church choir from James' home church, Kowloon City Baptist Church. (http://www.baptist.org.hk/new/b5_index.php)

Each time I listen to it, the serenity and love seem to put the world on hold. Just like this nice picture taken by a friend of mine from the audience on our wedding day.

Let me share the meaningful lyrics with you, again.

AS THE BRIDEGROOM by John Rutter

As the bridegroom to his chosen, as the king unto his realm,
As the keeper to the castle, as the pilot to the helm.
As the captain to his soldiers, as the shepherd to his lambs,
So, Lord, art thou to me.

As the fountain in the garden, as the candle in the dark,
As the treasure in the coffer, as the manna in the ark,
As the firelight in the winter,
As the sunlight in the spring,
So, Lord. art thou to me.

As the music at the banquet, as the stamp unto the seal,
As refreshment to the fainting, as the winecup at the meal,
As the singing on the feast day, as the amen to the prayer,
So, Lord, art thou to me.

As the ruby in the setting, as the honey in the comb,
As the light within the lantern, as the father in the home,
As the eagle in the mountains, as the sparrow in the nest,
So, Lord, art thou to me.

As the sunshine in the heavens, as the image in the glass,
As the fruit unto the fig tree, as the dew unto the grass,
As the rainbow on the hilltop, as the river in the plain,
So, Lord, art thou to me.
