Curate The Reverend Charles Burch, David, Madeline, Christine
Traditionally, bride is not suppose to be seen by others before the wedding ceremony. Therefore, I've been hiding in the church hall. On our way to main church and seeing my husband-to-be (Tim) as well as families, relatives and friends for the first time.
Madeline, my lovely flower girl scattered red rose petals while we were walking down the aisle.
My elder brother, David Chin giving me away at the church ceremony.
It was a raw drizzling rain in the morning of Saturday, 24th October, 2009.
There is an old saying that rain on your wedding day is a lucky omen. The Italians even have a saying for it, "Sposa bagnata, sposa fortunata", which means that a wet bride is a lucky bride. In the U.S., it is commonly repeated that rain is lucky.
Although it was drizzling and raining in between, we enjoyed and survived the day beautifully. Everyone have a wonderful time and mingled along well till 5:30pm.
Rain is also considered to be a good wedding omen in Germany, Sweden, and France. This is possibly because rain is associated with a bountiful harvest, and thus, fertility. Some believe that the rainier the wedding day, the more children the marriage will produce. Blessed!
