Our warmest wishes...

We meet alot of people in our lives...some you know it will just be a "Hi-Bye" relationship from the start...others you know no matter how hard you try, they will not appreciate.

And then there are ones that you know who will walk with you, will treasure the love and will be there no matter what.

Those significant ones, you only need a few ones in your life. Well....to really think about it.. you can only "afford" a few ones in your life, coz it takes so much effort and "sum-gei' to nuture such relationship...as we grow by the year...we soon understand we can only afford so many...Some call it putting all your eggs in one basket, but you just don't have enough eggs to truly "invest" in too many baskets. The reality of life often forces us to only choose so many baskets. You do not expect a return on your investment..but like family, this love and friendship has grown no matter how imperfect we are. That's the love God asked us to learn.

You have earned our respect and love through the past 8+ years. We've walked through so many steps in life and you've always been there for me. I know you are always super busy...it warms my heart everytime you called to just see if I'm doing okay. You know, in this age and time not too many people call just to check up & catch up, but you've shown us your love and eagerness to keep this friendship alive and growing.

We've joked that whoever help us with our moves are our 'true friends'...Of course that's not all true. But in some way, it is true. And YOU are the one who've ALWAYS shown up, EVERYTIME!! Even that time when you've hurt your back and can't really move anything you still came and be our "floor project manager"...remember?

On your big day we really felt family. I truly felt like preparing for my own brother's wedding. With joyful tears we give you our warmest wishes and may your everyday be as merry as today and you continue to experience His grace every day.

Today you are away in your honeymoon but we are still talking about how we could have done better for your big day...How we should have did measurements before and not let that accident happen...Allen still thinks he could have arranged the songs better...Give me more time and your present would probably be prettier..(I think the pig is a little small...) but we know all that really doesn't matter. The wedding is just as perfect when we see your happy smiles .... Any work was worth it!

It's the marriage that really counts from this point forward. We know you will do well.

If you ever need anything...we are on stand-by.

Hey...You can run but you can't hide for long...I know you didn't drink that night...we gotta get you drunk when you come back!!
(I won't drink though...haha)

Cheers Bro!
