This lovely couple had seen one of my SDE creations while attending another wedding that I have covered. We were never introduced at that time so to my surprise when I received a phone call from them..from Hongkong! At first I was uncertain where the wedding ceremony will take place until they told me their story.
It all began when Bertrand was mesmerized by Angel’s smile. Strangers to each other at that time, although went to the same school, Bertrand managed to catch Angel’s attention in an unprecedented way. Bertrand, before singing a song, pointed out to Angel saying something like this “ This is song is dedicated to the girl who has the sweetest smile in this room”. Long behold, not only he has captured Angel’s attention but her heart and soul.
Amazing that although the couple resides in Hongkong, they wished to be wed in Canada where they can share their most special day with their families and friends.
From the email inquiries to the actual meetings, I have felt their confidence in me that I will be able to seize their magical moments and captivate their unique tradition. When the groom mentioned to the bride, “He’s gonna do the magic!” instead of being flattered I humbly felt lucky to be rendered with such high faith.
The moment I and my hard working team arrived on their big day, they have handed us “red envelopes”, which I believe symbolized luck. But if they have only known, I was already fortunate to begin with…given the chance to know kind people like them and entrusted to be a part in commemorating their exceptional once in a lifetime event.
To Angel and Bertrand, keep those happy smiles.Lots of luck!
