When Rupert Chue saw his wife, Janielle Lee, walked down the aisle at the Blessed Sacrament Cathedral, Montego Bay, last Sunday afternoon he had difficulty breathing.
"She made me breathless. Janielle is a dream come true, I always said I wouldn't marry until I found the right one. Money can't buy this one," Chue declared to a host of family members and friends who witnessed his marriage to the woman he promised to spend the rest of life with.
Chue, general manager of his family-run business, Consumer Meat Plus, and Lee, general manager of her family's Parkway Supermarket, sealed their future in one of the most beautiful ceremonies any parent could wish for.
Using an Asian theme, family friend Paulette Henry outdid herself designing a Pagoda Chinese tent that gave life to the Royal Pavilion of the Half Moon, A RockResort.
'Royals' in their own rights, Chue and Lee's entrance to their fabulous wedding reception were embellished with red Chinese umbrellas and lanterns, decorating the pagoda. Each table was adorned with a centerpiece of 50 roses with crystal embellishment.
Red organza tablecloths with gold twirls dressed the tables, while the inspirational and immensely talented PACE band paid tribute to a family united as one.
PACE's steam was heightened by the sounds of a saxophonist who greeted guests on arrival and a steel band that created the catalyst for an evening of great entertainment and fantastic music.
At the close of the evening, and the start of the new lives, parents of the groom, Rupert Chue Snr, and his wife Sue, and parents of the bride, John and Rose Lee, beamed with pride.
"I wish I could have given Janielle's father an extra day with her, but I couldn't," quipped Chue, as he fondly accepted the strong bond between his new bride and her father, John Lee.
