Editted Pre Wedding Pictures, originally uploaded by Wedding Gallery Parlin-Artha.

Once we arrive in the church, we had our wedding tradition "Marsibuhabuhai" or its a tradition where the groom and the families come the the bride's family house to have a permition to take their daughter to be the bride. Normally both families will exchange food and have breakfast on that occation. After that we went downstairs to a room to have our "Catatan Sipil" or government marriage certificate. After that we start the Holy Matrimony.
Right Before we enter the church, we present our wedding video that shows my old days and Artha's old days until we met each other and united by God's holy love. After the video, we enter the building with a bautiful song, and it was the happiest moment in my live. During the service the sky was already dark. All the holy matrimony went beautifully, and when my brother Rico present a song "Amazing Grace", I was wept by tears. That song was so beautiful and reminds me that all of this was only because of God's grace. After that we proclaim our pledge in front of GOD to be husband and wife and during the wedding ring exchange, both me and Artha was wept by tears cause we were so happy. And at that point of time rain fall, which make us a little bit worried. However the rain stop after our service, and the sky was clear and it was a terrific day, not so hot not so cold.
After the wedding Holy Matrimony we went to "Wisma Mangaradja" building. And on the way there, Artha was again sick and throw up in the car on the way to the building. I was quite panic but I believe that she will be Ok. When we arrived there, we directly go to the make up room. The building was already full and crowded by people. And we were so happy to see that. Once Artha had her lunch, she was ready. And again we enter the building with a happy face.
All the ceremony went perfect, all was very happy and excited on our wedding. The building was full, from and the food was almost not enough. Everything went well and the wedding only ended at about 730pm. It was a very tiring and the most wonderful day in my life.
When we went back home, we heard the news that on the south Jakarta it was raining heavily and flooded. And I was so greatfull that God really protect our wedding and make it a succesful wedding day. It is only because of God's might grace.
