If you have your very own Twitter hashtag for your wedding, you are automatically in the ‘cool but geeky’ crowd. And if you have no idea what a hashtag is, then you’d better find out, so that you can be cool. But Nic immediately upped the cool factor by chartering a bus to transport his friends and family from Singapore to Malacca for his wedding.
Cheng Leng (also known as Hillary) and Nicholas are friends of mine. Cheng Leng and I have known each other for years, since we were both in school. Then in college, we saw each other almost every other day… had meals together, went to pasar malam together, hung out with the same friends… we had a great time. After we graduated, Cheng Leng worked in KL for a while, but then she moved to Singapore a few years ago. I felt sad to see her go, but thank God for social media networks like Facebook. We kept in touch through the years.
It was great that I could witness the wedding ceremony of Nicholas and Cheng Leng. I wasn’t meant to be there for the wedding, but due to some turn of events, I could be there as a guest! I managed to sneak a few shots during the wedding (all the time a little worried if I was being an ‘Uncle Bob’ to the official photographer).
Presenting, the gorgeous bride…
The one thing that immediately stands out about Cheng Leng – Her smile. She is such a warm and sincere person. I miss her hugs a lot. :)
So I had to give her a BIG hug.
This is Elfie, she went to school with me too (I have to admit, we had HOURS of fun playing with our Barbie dolls when we were young). The 3 of us were really close in college.
I love it that the flower girls, bridesmaids and matron of honour were dressed in the Nyonya kebaya outfit!
Nicholas sang beautifully during the wedding ceremony. He has such a good voice! The thing I admire most about Nicholas is his heart for the Lord. Cheng Leng complements him perfectly in this area.
The kiss!!
The joy is infectious! :) Thanks Cheng Leng and Nicholas for your friendship! I am so glad I could be there to witness this historical moment! As you journey life together, may you continue to discover the amazing path God has planned for your life. And thanks for the door gift below… I think it’s a great idea!

the bride is always smiling, laughing.
I couldn’t help grinning from ear to ear, the girls whom I want to walk my entire life journey with are here with me on my wedding day. How blessed.
Thanks for the pics, Grace, I love you more and more each day.
Our hearts are deeply touched and tears (gloriously happy ones) are in our eyes as we look upon these pictures of you on your wedding day. You are both precious to us and we love you and are so in awe that the Lord has brought us together in our love for Him and for you. May He continue to surprise you with joy unspeakable in the weeks ahead!
Much love,
Ann and Gary
Thank you so much, Ann and Gary. I feel so full with the love that you both have poured out to Nic and I through your gentle words and actions. I would love to meet you in Indiana as soon as possible.

Thanks for sharing these pictures. I wish you guys all the best for your future. By the way @Nic – you did not tell me that you are marrying such a gorgeous looking woman!
Regards, Matthias (the German)
Cheng Leng, finally get to see the beautiful bride and wedding pics! LOVE LOVE your gown!
Yes, Grace, I totally agree that it is Cheng Leng’s smile that is so special and warms the heart of everyone who speaks to her.
