PELTAC golden couple

Ipoh: May 10, 2009 - Looking at the date, most people would agree that it is Mother's Day. However, a newly wed couple - Chang Quan and Lian See, would say it is their Wedding.

It is exactly two weeks after their wedding that I have time to actually gather some photos of theirs and start penning down. The groom, born and bred from Ipoh wed the bride who is from Perlis. Ipoh went alive on that day when people start flocking in to this sleepy town.

I first knew Lian See in PELTAC when she was facilitating the public relations department. Only got to know Chang Quan towards the end of the PELTAC when he came to motivate us. Both are my friends so I had a little bit of identity confusion. In the end I joined the brotherhood.

Six or seven cars trailed behind Chang Quan to the bride's place with much pride. The sound of the honk in the early morning must have woken most of the neighbours up. 

Don't mess with the CQ. Look at our groom! He's so into bargaining with the sisters who were obstructing our way from grabbing the bride away. They set up quite a number of booby traps to challenge the groom. I believe this must be the Cantonese's cultural because for us Hakka we don't do that.

The key to success. Guys know what ladies want best. The groom has the key to tackle the sisters.

Money. We gave them more red packets to speed up the process because CQ gets impatient to see his wife. The sisters satisfied with the money, let us through the first stage.

The bride is waiting. Sensing the bride is waiting, the groom must do something. He passed a few sets of test - he drank some honey-pepper-soy sauce juice, drew a love with a lipstick in his mouth, answered a few Q&As. All these he did it with great motivation and bravery.

Pushing all the way up. The sisters have been very incorporating though the brothers passed the test smoothly. They just couldn't accept our victory so they set up a stairs-block to delay us. 

Walking blissfully. The auspicious hour for the couple was 9am so the 'torturing' process by the sisters have to be shortened. That's the only thing I like about the sisters. Arriving at the groom's house at 9am sharp.

Happy couple. Now, this is the most beautiful picture capturing the happy expression of them both. 

Thanks to all! In particular to Chang Quan and Lian See for the invitation and accomodation. Amanda for being the wedding event manager and providing these photos. Yew Jin as the best man. Min Ho from jetfynn.fotopic.net for the brilliant snap shots.

If you have been wondering where I was, let me tell you something, I was enjoying watching others being tortured.
