Lee and I have been meeting with our celebrant Fr Joe Camilleri almost every fortnight since January. Yesterday was our last meeting before the actual wedding rehearsal with the bridal party.

Fr Joe showed Lee and I a run through of the steps for each section of the ceremony. The first part, left me with a lump in my throat. As Fr Joe explained how he usually instructed the bridal party on the walk in, he lead me to Lee and showed how my father would walk me up the aisle where we would meet Lee. Every small gestures and exchange of hands had a symbolic meaning. I had to hold back thinking of that moment on who would be the one to do that on that day itself.

I've always been a person who was into the meaning of things, little gestures and all. While I had earlier initially wanted to have the church wedding in Malaysia, after watching Fr Joe teach us each movement, I am thankful that it was God's grace that He put us under the guidance of a wonderful priest!

The wedding rehearsal will be on --
