2018

Year 2018 was all about getting married. I’m glad after 18 months of preparation, my wedding day went mostly smooth, and more importantly, Cherry and I really got married on 30 December 2018.

I have to be grateful to my best friends’ contributions. Each of them did their part in perfection. MK and Martin were the perfect MC duo. Their interactions, mainly sarcasm, were so natural that they amazed not only me, but everyone else in the banquet. T was the best-suited person to be the IT operator. I needed not worry anything when he’s in charge of music and video playback. Eugene described himself best — he’s the money. But to me he’s more than that. He’s the missing piece. Without him I’d have to find someone else to make four groomsmen in total. So, a big thanks to everyone.

Stressful though wedding preparation was, it’s one of the most creative periods in my life. It’s like a creativity Olympics. I had to work on graphics for invitation cards, backdrop design, photo booth template and so on. I had to work on video production. I had to refresh my skills in public speaking. I had to pick the right background music. I also had to put my fashion taste to the test when I picked not only my suits, but also groomsmen’s outfit. Overall I’m quite pleased with the outcome, but it’s definitely something I wouldn’t want to try again. One more reason to avoid getting divorced.

So, in order to review the many wonderful moments on my wedding day, I’m posting some of my creative elements here, exclusively. Enjoy. And happy new year!

New medium

As I’ve said before, I (and the whole internet) now prefer to express myself in pictures. I’ve been shooting photos for a long time. But recently I discovered shooting videos is equally fun. I got so serious that I started editing videos in FCP. The videos I post are only a trial, so no quality is guaranteed. But I hope in time I’ll shoot some nice footage and edit them into meaningful videos.
