Icing On the Cake

Who would imagine a fairy tale wedding like this could still happen in 2012?

I'm normally not a fan of lavish showbiz wedding ceremonies, or weddings in general. But the one Zoren gifted his bride and partner of 12 years trumps any high profile weddings I've seen of late. He's set the bar for the men, alright.

Meanwhile, women everywhere in these islands will never forget this wedding. And when spoken about it several years down the line, I'm pretty sure it will still elicit a collective swoon and sigh from the female population.

These men, however, don't get it:

As it is, it's tough to keep a relationship going for 12 years. Tougher still, when you are working in the entertainment industry and when there are kids involved. Normally, the odds are against the relationship surviving, right? So, to see this man pour all his efforts into pulling this wedding caper; to see the couple behave like the actual newly-weds that they should've been a decade ago, is so admirable.

What women saw was not just about romance. This was a celebration of real love and committment; of a relationship that thrives despite the odds.

The fairy tale wedding, really, was just the icing on the cake. Beautifully planned and executed as it was.
