Orawan and Robert's wedding
When was it : Thursday October 16 2008
Where was it : The Worabura Resort and Spa, Hua Hin
|
The sun shone all day; friends and family came from England, Turkey, Hong Kong, Beijing, Dubai, Brisbane, Bangkok and Samut Songkhram. The bride was (and is) beautiful. The ceremonies were colourful and interesting. There was a huge amount of food. And it was good! The speeches were brief, generous and enjoyable. It was a very special day. ************************** A quick introduction to Orawan ("Tai"). Smart, beautiful, inquisitive, confident, ambitious, hard-working; occasionally grumpy; a natural explorer with the most gentle of hearts and a smile that I would walk a million miles to see.

And a quick introduction to Robert: When a picture says many words ! I am the one still standing !
|
Dress code.... "Smart casual" was Robert's choice; Tai's version is "something sexy" Since the latter could prove difficult for some of Robert's friends smart casual is perfect. It is a beach wedding!

Dearest
Tai, I love you for your beauty, your intelligence, your kindness...I have
learned so much from you about how to love and to trust. With you I am
growing up to be the person that I want to be. I vow to always try as hard
as I can to make you feel as special as you make me feel, always and
forever.
Dearest Robert, you have
been my best friend, my teacher, my mentor and my lover. You are always
there when I need you even when I am thousands of miles away. I appreciate
how lucky I am to have someone who makes me feel secure, warm, and loved. So
I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, to love you every day and
forever
