Words from the Groom:
Once upon a time, this memorable line was spoken: “Life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get!” Now, that’s the uncertainty of life. But with God, I knew that it was different. For He says, in Jeremiah 29:11, I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
True to His Word, He blessed me with this wonderful woman and life was never quite the same again! I never quite knew what I was missing until she came along. For the past few years, I have truly treasured her company as we sailed through this wide ocean called life.
Indeed, she complements me in every way… while I can be cheeky and playful, she’s straight-to-business (well, mostly); I’m more careful and deliberate (another excuse for being slow), she’s spontaneous. It’s almost like we were made for each other! No, let me rephrase that, we were fearfully and wonderfully made by God for each other.
Life is colourful when she’s around. Emily is fond of traveling (as I am). We’ve been doing some traveling and we hope to be adding that to our list in time to come with a European honeymoon down the road.
One thing that I admire in Emily is that she has a big heart. Always ready to share the love of God, she has participated in numerous mission trips to minister to people near and far. She has a real ability to touch people's lives. She has touched my life and helped me become a better man. God truly gave me a purpose to live for!
Those of you who know Emily would know that she's also very capable and conscientious. Certainly, you would have to if you were to pursue your degree part-time while juggling a full-time job! She attained hers from the University of Lincolnshire. Within this one is also great ambition and determination as a couple of years after completing her studies, she started up a professional executive search firm named Evenstar (www.evenstar.com.my). Come what may, she attributes all her success to God’s divine provision and blessing for it is by His mighty Hand that all this came to pass.
Why do I love Emily? Or perhaps I should be saying why not? She is tenacious, dedicated, organised, spirited, artistic and loves me with all her heart. Indeed, she completes me. Deep down in my heart, I believe and know that Emily would make a great wife and a fantastic mother.
All glory to our Father on high for sending me Christ, and then now Emily!
