Adrian Neo's Wedding 20 Nov (Sat) 12.30pm Risen Christ Church

Adrian Neo! Ah Neo! Ade Neo! The man is finally getting married! Yay! The anime fanatic, Jap pro and best male animator in GII ever!

Of course, the day actually began at 8am when I woke up to prepare, wash up, dress up, and have a good breakfast before making my way down to holy fam to meet the rest at 10am. As usual all the young ones were early, waiting diligently at Father's house. We made our way there in 4 taxis and my car. Thanks to Joy, Anthony, Noel and Andrea for being taxi ICs and getting to know the new ones during their journey down.

When we reached Risen Christ, we met the others and had warm-ups downstairs by the carpark as there was another wedding going on. And when we finally could go up to the choir loft, there was some confirmation rehearsal going on downstairs so we had to wait again to practice... that gave us some time to settle some minor hiccups with the keyboard and noel had more time to acquaint himself with the weird organ. I went down to the church hall to hear how they sounded (and also see how they looked haha all crammed up in the choir loft) - not bad lah, love the acoustics of the church!

These were the highlights of the beautiful wedding:
- Fr Simon Pereira concelebrating with an Indonesian priest
- Christine's relatives from Indonesia (abt 100-150 of them) filling up the church
- Adrian and Christine both dressed fully white!
- Derek as best man
- Marc's beautiful cantoring
- I Offer My Life for preparation of the gifts
- the 40 of us up in the choir loft continuing to sing the recessional song - Nothing's gonna stop us now
- the wonderful food at the reception
- being asked to shift as there was a funeral abt to begin! LOL

Best wedding of the year! Will put up photos soon!
