Our Taichung Wedding Ceremony
Immediately after returning from South Africa, where we made our vows in front of friends and family, planning had to start for the wedding ceremony in Taichung.
We truly realised the wonderful friends we had during this planning stage and we were humbled by the generosity and the enormous amounts of time and effort some of them put into helping us.
The five-star Hotel was "organized" for us and some of Sarah's students gave a musical performance for their favorite teacher. We later learned how long some had been practicing, saying "Thank You" in the best way these 9-year old knew how.
Sarah made a long, heartfelt speech, finally telling her close friends how much they have meant to her over the last few years. In more ways than one, it was a very emotional night, having so many of the guests so closely involved in our lives.
Having made a hash of my own wedding speech in Cape Town, I was happy that at least one of us had pulled it off for the team!
