Richard & Miles

What happens when an aspiring Broadway actress from Manila meets a soft-spoken Welshman? You get the ROM of Richard and Miles.

Venue: Old Bandstand, Botanic Gardens
Solemniser: Mrs Belen Tan Nee V Hernandez
Music: Grace Notes

Matching His and Hers rings from Cartier.

Miles and Richard are fitness fanatics. Miles can benchpress incredible weights in their professional gym at home.

My favorite amongst the day’s photos. Miles was cheekily spraying her JPG perfume everywhere, including me.

This wasn’t scripted.

This was scripted. Miles, being a natural performer, strikes a pose around the Visitors Centre.

Miles rehearses her song for Richard with string backup from Grace Notes. Miles had no microphone but her voice rang true and clear, causing tourists to turn and whip out their cameras.

Richard is the chap on the left together with Matthew the best man. Richard runs marathons in his spare time and spars with his punching bag at home.

He waits anxiously for the arrival of Miles.

Rain didn’t dampen Miles’ spirits.

Miles sings her song especially for Richard.

Even the solemniser was so moved that she gave Miles a big hug as well.

Nothing beats the real thing from France.

The ever dapper Matthew reminded me of an English aristocrat.

Miles jokingly calls Richard her “007″. Richard certainly has a steely gaze to match Daniel Craig’s anytime.

My second favorite photo: a couple enjoying their first dance, oblivious to everything around them.

The last toast…with a bottle.

Matthew caught the bouquet in the end.

We finished the day with a little stroll around the Botanic Gardens.

Update

Miles finished as a Top 5 Finalist in Pinoy Idol, Singapore, on 29 March 2009. Way to go Miles! Watch her in action.
