In the tradition of mixing business with pleasure, I’m spending a free Saturday in New York this year - October 4.  If you’re looking for a videographer for your wedding, please give me a heads up.

Here’s an apt image from last weekend’s wedding which pretty much sums up Paul and Paulynn’s big day.

To say it was emotional is an understatement.

A great amount of tears welled up because Paulynn’s dad was sorely missed. His passing, although already a couple of years back, was still greatly felt the entire day.

Nonetheless his father still walked her down the aisle.

One of the highlights of the dinner reception was a letter by Mr. Chang read by her mom, written ten days before he passed away. (reprinted with kind permission from Paulynn and her mom)

My dearest Paulynn,

You have to be the most beautiful bride in this world. My beautiful daughter; Paul’s beautiful bride.

I had wanted to be here as you know. I AM HERE in soul and spirit. I watch you brimming with pride. So proud of you, Paulynn.

And I will be with you and Paul beyond this wedding day. For your family, your children. Grandpa will play with them. Grandpa will watch over all of you.

Dream your dreams; reach for your dreams; only then will you find them. Wish you the most beautiful wedding today.

No regrets Paulynn, no regrets. I have nothing to forgive you. I just love you. Get on with your life. The best is yet to be.

Yes, I could also have been more demonstrative of my love for you guys. But we were given a 2nd chance. That’s plenty. Thanks for showing.

Now, let us celebrate life! The circle of life – it goes on. Taste every moment of it! Nature, people, family, friends. Celebrate!

God bless you. God loves each one of you. I join Him and Mama Mary in blessing you. I love you so dearly.

Dad
