//国際結婚の祝福\\ Love knows no boundaries. This was the case for Chie and Alwin when they fell in love. It wasn't just their boundaries of nationality, it was also not bounded by duration they've known each other. Chie was a professional make-up artist who lived an worked in Kyoto; Alwin was a professional photographer who was all along in Singapore, away from his home in Indonesia. If one were to calculate the chances of them meeting, it could be one in a few billions. Fate brought them together during a prewedding shoot in Kyoto and during the shoot, they connected instantly. Very much in love they were and very soon, Alwin proposed and Chie accepted. It is said that "in a relationship from start to end, you'll fall in love at least twice, when you first meet the person and when you truly know who the person is." How true. I believe that Chie and Alwin will fall in love over and over again, fall head over heels for each other as they continue to nurture their love by complementing their differences. "Wedding is only for a day but marriage lasts for a lifetime. Give each other a smile to chase away any tears and a hand to hold onto till every tomorrow." 愛は国境を超える。アルウィンと千恵さんの場合はそうでした。単に国籍による結び付きでもなく、交際期間の長さでもありませんでした。千恵さんは京都に住んでいたプロのメイクアップアーティストで、アルウィンは故郷のインドネシアから離れてシンガポールに住んでいたプロのフォトグラファーです。もし彼らが出会う確率を計算したら、数十億分の一になるでしょう。京都でのブライダルの撮影の時に、運命が彼らを出逢わせたのです。彼らはすぐに惹かれ合い、恋に落ち、アルウィンはすぐにプロポーズし、千恵さんはそれを受け入れました。 「付き合っている間、人は恋に二度落ちると言います。初めはその人に初めて会った時、次はその人が本当にどういう人なのかが分かった時。」これは真実です。千恵さんとアルウィンは何度も何度も恋に落ち、様々な困難を乗り越え愛を育んできたのだと思います。『結婚式は一日だけのものですが、結婚は一生もの。笑顔を忘れず、涙は吹き飛ばし、手を取り合って、明日を生きて行こう！』 Filmed by Teck Kuan & Zhen Jie Edited by Teck Kuan Japanese translations by Maiko Yoshimoto Mentored by Shiwei
