Wedding Series: My father and I

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 27 August 2007 in People & Portrait.

I posted Shu-ling walking down the aisle with her dad during her wedding and it brought back memories of me walking down the aisle with my dad on my wedding day 3 years back. So i scoured through the photographs and scanned this one.

Me in my gown and holding my dad's hands as i walk down the aisle.

Sigh..

@탁정함: shucks Zhenghan,is that you?!For goodness sake i dont understand Korean!Speak in either proper Chinese or English please!:p so are you trying to wish me peace?and i am the 先生??!!

this was what i typed couple of days ago and the above is also the reply you gave me.

yes i was wishing you peace/safety by greeting you with a hi- annyeong haseyo. incidentally,先生닌 (seon-saeng-nim) is a very polite way of calling a teacher(both male and female) in korean.=)

Clicked on "Post Comment" too quickly. That would be "very much in love" as Daddy's girl; loving Dad but letting go; ready to take the hand of her new husband.

Rags from Plano, United States

I like the way you cropped the image. To me its says "There is so much to be said, but we will both keep it unsaid." How did you feel on your wedding day?

@Rags: Ragsthanks for your lovely comments,yap maybe somethings are better left unsaid.How did i feel?Emotional i think.Wanted to be with my man but suddenly realised i am leaving my parents.

Sure XLS, Oh btw you have got to be proud of me....I am learning korean to keep my chinese alive. since korean is written with traditional korean....i am also researching on the chinese origin of those korean words. So at the same time I am learning chinese too. about 70% of korean words come from chinese...let me give u some examples
