100張照片的故事 One hundred photos, one hundred stories /1

婚禮是多數人生的必經階段，中式婚禮中 – 拜別父母也是很多新人最難忘的一刻．不同於西方人的外放，東方人的內斂含蓄不輕易對父母表達愛意，拜別父母成了兒女父母雙方表露感謝、思念、不捨的最佳時機．許多平時不會對爸媽講的話做的事，都在此刻流露無遺．

Wedding is the inevitable stage of most life. In Chinese weddings – goodbye to parents is also the most memorable moment for many couples. Different from the Westerners, the Asians do not easily express their love for their parents. It is the best time for them both to express their gratitude,and reluctance. Many things that I wouldn’t do to my parents’ words are now revealed at this moment.

這場婚禮攝影是2016年在台南善化的結婚儀式．拜別儀式前新郎迎娶交付捧花給新娘時就發現新娘十分的感性．拜別時刻在媒婆的引導下，新娘訴說對爸爸媽媽一生的感謝，爸爸聽著不禁也哽咽了起來，一句話也說不出來．在場觀禮的親友包含我自己即便拍攝過這麼多婚禮，也不曾看過儀式中情緒決堤的爸爸，那一刻的安靜一直到現在仍讓我記憶深刻．

This photo was taken in 2016. When the groom married and delivered the bouquet to the bride, I found the bride is such a sensible lady. When the matchmaker began the ceremony, the bride said that she thanked her father and mother for their whole life. Dad couldn’t help but cry, and he just kept silence for a very long time. The silence of that moment has kept me memorized until now.
