Two Weddings

Two beautiful friends of mine recently got married.

I worked with Maria Ho in Westpac 8 years ago. She was a fresh graduate when she joined the bank. She was fun and bubbly. Being from Hongkong, she loved shopping. She was an excellent shopping adviser. She convinced me to buy a pair of silver earrings, which I wore for years, and my Armani overcoat, which I still love wearing to this day. She married her long time boyfriend, Samson, in December last year. They live in Hongkong, so I look forward to catching up with her whenever she visits.

I worked with Shane Slavin in CardSmart. We spent quite a bit of time together, when we flew to Europe last year for work. I enjoyed our time, because she was easy going and fun. My most vivid memory was spending an entire day shopping with her in London. We must have entered every shop in the shopping district. She was a great shopping companion. She married her Italian stallion, Pete, in April.

Shane and Pete both looked beautiful on the day, the perfect couple. Doesn't she look like Liz Hurley? It was obvious that they were very much in love. It was a pleasure for Peter and me to be at their wedding. I have never heard more touching and heartfelt speeches in a wedding. Instead of the traditional wedding waltz, they did a sexy salsa. How cool was that?

Two beautiful ladies at very significant times in their lives. I wish them all the happiness in the world.
