As hectic as it is - it is the most joyous time in both of our families. I pray and bless my brother Jyh Ming (Mingo) and Vivianne on their wedding day. Such a wonderful and lovely couple. The day has been beautiful, the sun shined brightly. A day that God has made and a very good day to get married. To me, any day is good as it is blessed by God. In holy matrimony Mingo and Vivianne were wed - modern Taiwanese style. The one person that is so joyous is our beloved and late mother as I can see tears of joy from heaven... Mingo is my late mother's most precious and beloved son. She is very proud right now. Both of you are blessed to have such a loving family to support you in your new journey together. Whatever you both set your hearts to do - do it with a sincere passion... May God's Grace be with you - Love Never Fails.

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but I have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophecy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind. Me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE." - Quoted from the Bible (1 Corinthians 13)

Now that you are both united in Holy Matrimony - "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thess 5:16-18

As the Rev. teaching pastor John Ortberg said it well - "The object of life is to be rich toward God." May the Lord continue to bless both of you toward a rich walk with God all in His mighty Love.

Apart from that - it was uniquely a call for a grand reunion as I met several family members from both side. A Chinese wedding is the fusion of 2 families together. Thank you Lord and Praise the Lord!
