The celebration started the night before with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony.  Family was joined together and tea and blessings were exchanged as the two families made their union official…

On THE day…

Her eyes popped open to sunshine and palm trees.

His eyes popped open and he thought, “Wow!  This is IT!”

Hearts-a-flutter and goosebumps…

The day had finally came that two would become one.  Mr. Chua would have his Mrs. Chua at last.

The day started off with a hot, blazing sun and small white puffy clouds dotting the sky.  As the beautiful bride and the handsome groom began their preparations for their big moment, neither suspected that gloom was imminent…

As the bridal party began their descent to the wedding area, they couldn’t help but the notice the suddenly gray sky.  Suddenly, there was a race against mother nature to seal wedding vows before the heavens opened up and soaked the Earth with it’s fury.

As each bridesmaid and groomsman took their place, there were tears of joy and happiness for the beautiful couple soon to be Mr. & Mrs.

The moment had arrived for the gorgeous bride to take her place next to her soon-to-be husband.  As he watched her trek through the sand, his love overflowed and his emotion could not be held back.  The tears of happiness he shed were so contagious that they overflowed into the wedding party… Spectators choked on their own emotions and the tears began flowing like fountains.

With an audience of onlookers, the gorgeous bride slowly made her way to take her place.  Her big, beautiful smile lit up the day despite the graying sky.  She held back her own tears as she was told that no bride should begin her marriage in tears… (executed quite excellently I might add.)  :)

As the ceremony wrapped up and the family and friends celebrated with hugs and cheering, it suddenly became very neccessary for everyone to take cover… we all ran for shelter and watched as the wind carried the ocean to crash onto the beach.  The rain tormented the Earth with huge powerful rain drops…

15 minutes after the raging storm, the sun peeked out from behind a cloud and provided a beautiful rainbow as a backdrop for pictures…
