Peter Azam and Lucy Yennie, a newly married couple with me, my mum, my sis and my bro after the matrimony in Sts Peter & Paul Church.
On 7/7/2008, my friend-Azam who grew up togather with me and my bro get married. Her wife, if not mistaken is his secondary school girl friend-Yennie...after a vast search for his partner of life, in the end, Yenny is still the one. For most of my friend who getting married in Sarawak, I did not manage to go over to attend their weddings, as too costly and too far, but of cause the wishes and blessing will never less. For this very special friend of mine, although we did not get in touch frequently, but I have a strong passion to fly from a far to attend his holy matrimony, as he is no more an ordinary friend, but is an angel of mine and my family. Below is my letter dedicated for him and wish him all the best.

Dear Azam Kong
Although I am not the first to present my congratulation to you and your wife on your marriage, but I have not been unmindful of you. My heart has repeatedly wished you all that my pen can express, may the Holy sacrament of marriage bring you and your wife a new relation in which the providence of God has placed both of you be blessed in every respect, promote your spiritual progress, and enlarge your sphere of usefulness in the world and in the church.
I sincerely wish you and your wife much happiness together; that you may be mutually helps, meet, and assist each other in walking as fellow-heirs of the hope of eternal life. Your cares and trials I know must be increased; may your comforts be increased proportionally! In the future, no matter how hard is the trial for life, remember who love the Lord, and are guided by his word and providence, have nothing to fear; for in every state, relation, and circumstance in life, he will be with you, and will surely do you good. His grace, which is needful in a single, is sufficient for a married, life.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to you too. We get to know each other since we are youngster. When we were young, we played, we shared and all these become the permanent memories in me. Do you know that you are not only playing role as a good neighbor of mine but also as an angel for my family. In many circumstances, I appreciate the time you be at our side when we need your helping hands, and I am very glad that you and your family always lending it without hesitation. Especially the moment when my dearest father departed, the support given by you and your family means so much to us, thanks God for giving us such a good angel for our family. No matter how far am I, there have an urge in my heart that call me back, witness our angel-Azam’s last second sacrament of his Catholic faith- the marriage J.
That’s all for this letter, may your future marriage life like the many fairy tales stories... living happily ever after. Peace be with you and your new family.
Love in Christ,
Eddie Tan
