Sim and Soo's Wedding
Thank you to everyone who prayed for Sim and Soo's wedding. We have now been home a week and are finally able to catch a minute and sit down and update you on what has been going on in our lives. The wedding went very well. The kids did everything they were suppossed to. Dawson got a bit scared at the beginning but, then walked the rest of the way down the aisle. He just had a bit of fright when he realized everyone was watching him. The wedding was gorgeous and the most important thing that happened at the wedding was Jesus being glorified and the salvation message given. All of Sim and Soo's immediate family are not Christians. So, the most important thing to them was glorifying Jesus Christ through their ceremony. Below are some pictures from the wedding. The reception was the most elegant reception we have ever been to. It was at the Four Season's hotel on Orchard Road which is a pretty famous road in Singapore. And, apparently usually there are up to 600 people invited to the reception. However, Sim and Soo wanted their man focus to be their wedding. So, more people were invited to the wedding than to the reception. We had a 10 course meal. It was very yummy. We ate so many new things. We had shark fin soup. And, yes there were shark fins in it. It tasted more like chicken. That is what I kept telling myself. And, we had honey sesame chicken, that was also yum. We were served octopus, and fish, and many other things as well. No cake was served. However, the bride and groom did cut the cake. That was the first thing they did. So, it was alot of fun. the children wore traditional Chinese outfits to the reception. We were honoured to be able to be there for Sim and Soo! The whole day was awesome.

A background on Sim and Soo. They were in the young adult group Chris and I led when we were in Australia for our first term of missionary service to Perth. We had dinner every Saturday night (usually pizza). Obviously, they became very good friends and were very close to our kids as well. We look forward to when they move back to Australia and join us in the ministry here again.
