Wedding in Tuart Lawn

Aside from Bradley Martin, the groom, everyone is a relative of the bride. Five of them flew in from Malaysia.

This wedding was quite a departure from the usual ones I have attended which are typically held in churches or some enclosed venues.

Without the pastor's exhortation, as is customary in Christian weddings, this ceremony was remarkable brief - just wo poems and the exchange of vows. That was it.

I was surprised that the vow left out the familiar phrases that I am used to hearing such as "for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, till death do us part". Instead, I recall it ended with a simpler phrase "as long as we shall both live".
