Last night I attended a wedding of a new acquaintance of mine; Kevin Barnaby Fernandez, who married his long time girlfriend Dessy, an Indonesian.
This entry is merely to extend further my well wishes to the bride and groom, who both lokked resplendent last night.
My first meeting with Kevin was "on-air"... when he first started to present the general news segment of Astro News. While we both go on-air at the same time, we never got to see each other as we work in different studios.
But my colleague and best friend Sheahnee Lee recognised the guy on tv, as they were classmates at KDU, and spent time also in Perth when they did their final year there.
Shen tells me then, that Kev was dating an Indonesian girl he met on orientation night in their first semester at KDU. Apparently it was Shen who drove Dessy to the dinner, and in fact, in the beginning Kev was not up to going to the dinner.
I finally met Kev, by chance, at the Istana Hotel's Musictheque, when I braved myself to enter a journo talentime. Des was also there.
Met him a few more times in Astro when he came in for some official business, and chatted for a bit.
He is as genuine as they come; he is a warm fella, a bundle of laughs and I came out of the meeting feeling he was the sort of guy your mom would approve. The dependable type.
As Kev and Des walked towards the stage at the ballroom, it was clear that they were a loving couple, and they both looked wonderful on their wedding day. Sheahnee was right; they were a match made in heaven.
Kev and Dessy, as you honeymoon in my choice honeymoon venue of Mauritius, my wishes of prosperity and joy accompany you, and I am sure the hundreds of family members that witnessed your wedding offer the same.
May your lives be blessed with the joy that a union brings, and may God bestow upon the both of you the wisdom to deal with the trials and tribulations, and joys and laughter that lie ahead.
Thank you for having me at your wedding.
