Welcome to another gossip column written by yours truly KPT, Kaypoh Teddy.

I had the privilege to interview the newly weds from SOTA and what you see here is a special report bringing you all the juicy scoops.

Here’s something from the newly weds:

He says …

你是风  我是云

你是我生命的推动力

你是浪  我是船

我感觉你的一起一落

你是海  我是川

你是我的目的地

我是树  你是雨

夏天我多渴慕你

你是天  我是地

愿我们永远朝夕相对

你是笔  我是字

有你别人才会认识我

你是爱  我是情

没有你就不会有这一段美丽的爱情

She says …

他对她说，我们的爱情不需要用一张结婚证书来维系，这是很肤浅的想法。

如果我是她，我会对他说：“我是肤浅的，你娶我吧！”

 感谢主… …

 我终于找到了一位和我一样“肤浅”的男人，愿意用他的一生与我厮守。

  除了感恩，还是感恩… …

  爱，在霎时间，丰富了两个原本封闭、孤独的世界。

月亮代表我的心

你问我爱你有多深

我爱你有几分
我的情也真

我的爱也真
月亮代表我的心

你问我爱你有多深 
我爱你有几分
我的情不移

我的爱不变
月亮代表我的心

轻轻的一个吻

已经打动我的心
深深的一段情

教我思念到如今

你问我爱你有多深

我爱你有几分
你去想一想

你去看一看
是否要做我的新娘

She proposed with this song …

至少还有你

我怕来不及

我要抱着你
直到感觉你的皱纹

有了岁月的痕迹
直到肯定你是真的

直到失去力气
为了你我愿意

动也不能动

也要看着你
直到感觉你的发线

有了白雪的痕迹
直到视线变得模糊

直到不能呼吸
让我们形影不离

如果全世界我也可以放弃
至少还有你值得我去珍惜
而你在这里就是生命的奇迹
也许全世界我也可以忘记
就是不愿意失去你的消息
你掌心的痣我总记得在那里

我怕来不及

我要抱着你
直到感觉你的发线

有了白雪的痕迹
直到视线变得模糊

直到不能呼吸
让我们形影不离

如果全世界我也可以放弃
至少还有你值得我去珍惜
而你在这里就是生命的奇迹
也许全世界我也可以忘记
就是不愿意失去你的消息
你掌心的痣我总记得在那里

我们好不容易我们身不由已
我怕时间太快不够将你看仔细
我怕时间太慢日夜担心失去你
恨不得一夜之间白头永不分离

如果全世界我也可以放弃
至少还有你值得我去珍惜
而你在这里就是生命的奇迹
也许全世界我也可以忘记
就是不愿意失去你的消息
你掌心的痣我总记得在那里

在那里

He: We actually wanted 4th April 2008 – 04/04/08 but in Singapore, you can’t just walk into a church and say you want to get married. Yes. It’s NEVER like what you see in the movies. You actually need to inform Registry Of Marriages 21 days in advance!

She: The next available date for us was 18/04/08 which as you can see, doesn’t look too bad as a number combination. So we collected our cert on the 17th and got married on the 18th.

So how long have you known each other?

She: We met on the 21st of December 2007 during the Registration Day for Year 1 in SOTA.

Then when did the relationship start to blossom between the both of you?

He: We started as friends. I used to have a principle of not dating colleagues.

She: Yes. And I know about it. Which is why I didn’t even think anything was possible between us.

He: Being there for someone opens the gateway for true commitment and love I guess. What started as a bud of friendship slowly blossomed in the fragrant rose of a lifelong partnership.

So roughly when was that?

She: I believe it all started at the end of January.

January 2008? Isn’t that like barely 3 months ago?

She: And He proposed on Good Friday which was barely one month ago?

I’m shocked! Don’t you think you are rushing into an important decision?

He: Please don’t faint here. Although both of us are certified to do CPR, we rather not.

She: (laughs & kisses him) That’s a CPR kiss for you.

Erm (uncomfortable) … back to question? Don’t you think you two are impulsive?

She: I think it’s rare you find someone who’s similar to you in beliefs, principles and outlook of life. Not that there are no differences. He prefers coffee and I prefer tea. He hates cheese and I simply adore them.  Yet we both feel we are God’s gift to each other.

He: She’s medication for my soul. I’ve never felt happier in my whole entire life. (kisses her)

She: He makes me believe in love again.

(Roll it’s eyes) But proposing in 2 months and getting married in 3 months?

He: Time is important for discovery. But we have had the privilege to see each at work and witness our work ethics.

She: We also met each other’s friends and family members. We saw how we treat other people. And we love to talk about life and the future. That gave us a very good idea of who we are as a person.

He: You can’t put a time frame to love and commitment. Some need 3 years, some 10 years and others less than a year. I knew I was ready to commit and that’s why I proposed. She was ready and that’s why she said yes.

Why did you not invite friends and relatives for the Holy Matrimony?

He: It’s back to basics for us. We believe marriage to be a very important commitment. But we also understand it’s important for us to fulfill all righteousness and seek the approval of our parents.

She: We did not want to constrain our marriage to the need to get a banquet hall, a wedding package and all the whole works.

He: We had our Pastor to solemnize our wedding and our parents were there. In the sight of God, the law and our parents, we exchanged our wedding vows and started on this lifelong commitment to each other. The message is clear: This is what marriage is all about.

Weren’t you both nervous holding the Matrimony at a public place like the Merlion?

She: Are you kidding? We loved the attention!

He: (laughs) It’s true. There were strangers taking pictures of us.

She: We should charge them a fee for that.

He: Seriously, you do not need ALOT to get married or wait for the perfect conditions to gain your heart’s desires. What’s more, it was a beautiful place with plenty of photo opportunities.

Are you saying that you two will not have a wedding ceremony? I’m sure your friends or relatives will be angry for not knowing about this important union.

She: There will be a ceremony next year. To us, the ceremony is an occasion for us to celebrate together with our friends and relatives. We want them to share our joy of having found the treasure in our lives.

He: We planned to have it in the new school building at Kirk Terrace. For that, we’ll invite all our relatives, friends, colleagues, ex-colleagues and ex-students for a splendid good time.

She: And perhaps our current SOTA students.

He: Yes. PERHAPS. Only problem is we do not know when the building will be ready.

She: Which is also why we agreed to this interview. Your article will tell the world that we are married right?

Of course. I’m KPT – KayPoh Teddy after all. But I’ll need your help to spread the word.

He & She: We will!

She: With pleasure.
