on a side note. before we went out. john went to the gym at 10.30pm.  by strict orders of his then korean slave driving gf.  this is after a dinner @ fatty crab in which he wasn't allowed to take leftovers home because she thought he would eat it.  and then she completely bashed him on his style of finger sucking and mussel eating when they came back home.



imagine if life had a lil red button flashing PANIC FLATTEN.  whenever u're in a jam.  PANIC FLATTEN.  i would probably steal my friends' panic buttons. HAHAAHA. that'd be funny.

Friends and family…

Please be seated. 

We welcome you today to the marriage of Simon Leung and Kathy.  We are met together in the presence of their dearest family and friends to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. This is indeed a joyful time.  in which we witness the love of these two people expressed in the joining of their lives together.

"Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love." - Erich Fromm (1900-1980) German-American Psychoanalyst, Social Philosopher

Good afternnon everyon.  How is everyone doing today?  Good?  Let me take a second to introduce myself…My name is Alexander chin.  Im one of Simons friends from college and for all purposes today and for future reference….u can just call me reverend chin. 

A few months ago…simon called me and asked me to be his officiant for his wedding.  I had no clue what that was or meant….,but after some googling.  I was flattered by the seriousness of the offer.  For those that know me, me administering a wedding is pretty much as ironic as it gets, as life has never matured past bachelordom and excess.  However, contrary to popular belief, I am a hopeless romantic and that’s why I am flattered and honored to be here today, being a part of this occasion.

“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.” – Rainer Maria Rilke

 

<>

I spent nights googling things like true love. Endless love. Hopless romantic. Greek mythology.  Song lyrics only to realize that the true inspiration of the ideals of love is simon.  The squareheaded, calculated, and seemingly stoic….would never look the part…but is in essence the purest breed of renaissance romantics.  He calculates because he wants the ideal.  He talks of filandering only as a reference of finding the opposite.  The ideals of love and the yearning for a reputed soul mate….someone whom after a few few precious hours in café…..he knew he wanted her in his life.  Forever.

This ceremony is the legal blending of hearts that have already been beating in unison at the same time a home is being formed and a relationship established that is approved by the state 

 

 

PLEDGE

Kathy do you take Simon to be your husband, to love him, to cherish him, and to continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion? {I do.}

 

And Simon do you take Kathy to be your wife, to love her, to cherish her, and to continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion? {I do.}

 

Please join hands, face one another and repeat after me: 

 

Simon,

you are my beloved, to love and to cherish, and to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, in sadness and in joy, to share our lives together, from this day forward.

 

Kathy

you are my beloved, to love and to cherish, and to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, in sadness and in joy, to share our lives together, from this day forward.

 

 

 As the years go by, you will find more and more in one another a loveliness which neither comes nor goes, which neither flowers nor fades, no longer even taking the form of face or hand or words or knowing. Everything in your marriage can partake of this mysterious beauty beyond beauty, until wherever you turn you see reflections of this loveliness.

We ask that the vision you have of one another be always informed by that radiant power which first brought you together. Love is stronger than your conflicts, bigger than life's changes, the miracle always inviting you to learn, to blossom, to expand. It is to love that you must always return.

 

 

VI.        EXCHANGING OF THE RINGS

TO BEST MAN  "May I have the rings”?

BLESSING OF THE RINGS

The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity. It is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two hearts in endless love. It is a circle that has NO beginning and NO ending. It is symbolic of eternal love for us.

 TO GROOM: (ADAM)

Simon, as a token of your love and of your deep desire to be forever united in heart and soul, you may place the ring on Kathy’s finger to seal the vows that you have made to her." 

 

Repeat after me:

“Kathy, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows,

 and with all that I am,

 and all that I have,

I honor you.

 With this ring I give myself to you.

I place my strength in the service of your happiness.

Your dreams I will share.

Your burdens I will bear.

From now until forever I will be incomplete without you.

I thee wed”.

 

c) TO BRIDE: (SImon)

Now, Kathy you may place the ring on Simon’s finger to seal the  vows that you have made to him." 

With this ring I give myself to you.

I place my strength in the service of your happiness.

Your dreams I will share.

Your burdens I will bear.

From now until forever I will be incomplete without you.

 I thee wed”

 

 

 

 

 

 

VI.        PRONOUNCEMENT OF MARRIAGE: (Simon)

 You have entered into the holy covenant of marriage, held sacred by almost all religions since the dawn of time. May your joy last forever and your disappointments be few.

By the power vested in me and in the name of the State of New York. I hereby pronounce you husband and wife.

TO GROOM

Simon, you may kiss your bride.

There was a movie with Kevin Kline back in 1992 titled —Dave“. This movie had him impersonate the President of the United States for a cover up from a
scandal. Terrible movie. Made me angry that I paid to go see it.
During the same time back in the 90‘s I was discovering my love of making and then eating good sandwiches. There was a scene in the movie where
Kline‘s character was in the White House kitchen making a sandwich for the first lady and himself. Here is where he gave a piece of knowledge that I
would never forget. In the middle of giving a play-by-play commentary on his construction of the sandwich, he laid sliced carrots in the middle and said;
—every sandwich in order to be a great sandwich needs to have crunch.“ —CRUNCH!“ Who knew?!?
So that‘s what I did. I went home and made a sandwich with sliced carrots in it and it was one of the tastiest things that I have ever tasted to that point in
my life. Now, that didn‘t mean that all of the other sandwiches that I had made up until that point were no good or a waste of my sandwich making
existence. No. It also didn‘t mean that I should forget all that I knew about making a sandwich and just keep this new way. It just meant that I had found a
more fulfilling and different way to make one. I then discovered that carrots were not the only thing that provided crunch. Sometimes I use field cucum-
bers, peppers, crispy lettuce or pickles. Till this day I always make a sandwich with —crunch“. Come by one day and I‘ll make you one.
This sums up where I am in my views and thoughts with Christianity and the Church today.
I have found an element of —Crunch“. I consider myself blessed and humbled by the Church and Christian School upbringing and learning that I have had
through my journey. This has guided me and made me who I am today. I have discovered and am starting to see that there is a different way (I won‘t say
—new“ because it isn‘t. Jesus has the trademark on this one) in communicating the life changing story of Christ. It‘s in going out and not staying in. It‘s
journeying along side and not from a distance. It‘s in taking risks and not in the calculated safe answer. It‘s letting go and holding on. It is loving God and
loving others. Obedience and service. Loving and living it (Mathew 22:37-40) . Sounds basic? Exactly.
I am constantly reminded of the difficulty in this when trials and confusion come my way with the choice of ”live for God‘ and —love others“ or —don‘t“
staring me right in my face. Choosing to do this isn‘t always easy when I‘m tired, frustrated, broke, busy, or wanting things to be quiet. But when I do
choose to live and love, neat things always happens. I get a chance to witness this when the school contacts me and asks me to help —find“ money for a
family in need of heat and hydro. I get a chance when I see youth who would are bored during march break be blessed by free activities and have a place
to be. I get a chance to see this when a youth bangs on our door needing to talk because they don‘t want to commit suicide in the next 10 minutes. I pray
for wisdom and discernment in the chances that I do take. Ask for forgiveness for the ones missed. And look forward to the ones to come.
How‘s your sandwich tasting? Need‘s some crunch? Enjoy the process of —experimenting with sandwiches“ and journeying new paths with God

1011 is johns bday.  its also the weigh in w chung.

and on top of that....we have a new wager...

1. civilian

2. above a 6

3. no relationship
4. no ex's.

hahaha.
i have this phobia when it comes to ordering an entree.  its a take on commitment phobia.  u order this entry..and u're committed to a big plate of what could be bland "chilean seabass with mango and soy chutney"...DUH!.  naturally tapas....is awesome.  and alta...is awesome.  there's my two cents.

good company doesn't hurt either. =)



my ex broker from spore came...and of course. we end up at sapphires. haha.  great seeing sk.

have you guys ever picked up a big chinese wok?  the ones without the long handle but rather the mini bend that u have to hold with a towel?  do you guys realize how heavy that thing is and these chinese chefs are just flipping it around like it's nothing?  that's some strong forearm....
there's the yuhakseng formula....

then there's the karrot theory.

and in came the bento box.

a conflicted dillemma for me.

great.


now that fantasy football has fueled my non competitive rage.  i will now bet on everything i see with one person.  we don't bet to take anything from each other.  we bet on each others moral demise.  cheers.


the ridiculousness of the korean male is quite the stereotype to continually dissect...as evident not just by me...but this youtube beedeeeooo. haha...last nights conversation....

a korean males favorite line...at any moment....eating a peter luger steak, watching a movie, in the middle of making out with a chick, in the middle of making out with a dude.  in the middle of golf......in the middle of beating his wife...

"YOOOOOO.....u know what would be so awesome right now?"
"what?"
"kimchi"
