A Marriage Made in Heaven

 
                                                             Ainee the Elegant Bride

The Playful Gesture of the Traditional  'Cake Tasting'

The Wedding: It was solemnised a long time ago
between Ainee a friend of Hank's daughter Azlin 
and Hendroff a Caucasian.

The bride wore white of Victorian tradition demurely chic perhaps even docile
as a choice. Not strapless nor sleeveless but just as elegant, It was matched with 
the groom dressed in Malay costume. Teary eyed Mom emotional as seen often 
but not on this occasion looking brave as ever. Dad and family extending support 
with their presence. 

Friends of the bride threw in their lot accentuating their all, Not anything raucous 
but enough. They squeezed in a Bachelorette Party. They sacrificed time for three 
separate occasions, The Bachelorette, the akad (marriage vows ceremony) and the 
wedding reception. Drawing on experiences and a variety of  talents, they handled
it all for a modest outing hurriedly but perfect in execution

A whirlwind romance Hendroff and Ainee in matrimonial bliss uniting two families 
from two continents. For them both we would gladly wish them the best for the 
future, for that wonderful marriage made in heaven.

Blending two cultures
Supported by office mates
A blissful future
