A recent article came out in The Star tabloid regarding a couple who spent about RM 1 million ringgit on their wedding. Now this was no ordinary wedding...the bride happens to be a man who underwent three major surgeries in order to be a woman and the groom happens to be.................... my ex-schoolmate!

Imagine my shock when I saw the photo and article. Hmmm...didn't know he had it in him to love someone so much, he proposed six times to her(him?). I used to see him in school back in Form 6. He even dated my classmates before...ahem, they happened to be females. He's quite a good looking guy and though I've lost touch with him now, he used to join my class when we went out for group outings.
He's actually a quiet guy and also quite active in sports, but I didn't really knew him very well. I can still remember the time he came to persuade me from quitting as a librarian. What happened was when I started my Lower 6 Form, I joined the Double Maths class since the thought of cutting up frogs to see their heart beating just totally freaked me out. So since Biology was out and I was in the Science stream all along, I didn't have other options left. Then when I failed my Mid-term Double Maths paper, I started to panic, cos this was the first time I ever failed a school exam. I was already elected as a librarian then, and after that panic attack, I decided to quit and he, being the head librarian, approached me to persuade me from quitting. He gave me a few reasons why I should continue to be a librarian but I was unconvinced. I think he wasn't convinced by his own reasons as well, cos a few weeks later, he also handed in his badge....he probably talked to me out of duty rather than conviction....haha!
Yesterday another article came out in the same tabloid saying that the Government and the Church in Malaysia do not recognise the marriage as valid because of the bride's gender. Looks like this is a start of a challenging marriage. Will they come out of it in one piece? Well, whatever the outcome is, I pray that they get what is best for them.
