Just a western boy born and raised on Canadian soil.
Just a city girl, living in a Bangkok world.
Two fates that random, met. On a boat to fortune, never
forget.
Okay so I am certainly not the best a writing lyrics, and
for those to have the fortune of hearing me sing, I don't exactly have the
voice of an angel. As a matter of fact this song was playing on my IPod on the
plane to Phuket. But that one fateful day, Wednesday may 9 will not be one
forgotten easily. It was the day I tied the knot with my beautiful Thai bride
in a bay just past Phuket.
For a Canadian guy, that has only experienced 4 islands,
(Iceland, Cape Breton, PEI and Singapore); my mind resembled a high school
cafeteria after a food fight. I didn’t realize that you had to be up at 3:30 to
board your boat for the wedding. Needless to say I was a little tired, but
excitement took over quickly with sunrise. 
Every island we passed whispered its own unique greenscape
and rock face. One island stood out above the rest though. One some may
recognize from the movies, as part of my favourite series, 007. In the movie "The
Man with the Golden Gun", Scaramanga (the dude with 3 nipples) lives on
this Thai island.
And just like that, it was over.
Where did we go wrong? We broke with tradition last week
when we took some pictures of her in dress and myself in linen suit. Or maybe
it was the language/ cultural barrier? Then again some say we rushed things too
much. I mean it was only 1 week from when we met to when we married. It's a
shame that our destiny has come to an end she was such a nice, fun, and
beautiful girl too.
In all honesty though, this was an incredibly fun experience
shooting a TVC (TV commercial) in Phuket. It proved to be a stunning backdrop
to a picture perfect wedding. The commercial should be ready in the next month
or so.
My camera arm is sore from all the pictures I took, enjoy! I
am disappointed I didn’t get more pictures of the bride and myself; hopefully
some will turn up over the coming days. A few more pics for good measure.
