To those of you who could not attend my wedding on September 01, 2008 - here’s the video of it for your viewing pleasure.
Video produced by GregsVideo.com and was perhaps one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Both my wife and me were initially very excited about getting married, until my parent stepped in and almost ruined everything for me.
They keep insisting I do things their way, according to “our culture”, and before I knew it the entire wedding was heading off in a different direction. I’m sorry to say I never really followed Indian culture, as I find it rather outdated and shallow. Now I’m being forced into it, like it or not.
A lot arguments later (more like a war) they finally got their way but I decided to get a good video producer so I can have better memories of what’s supposed to be the most important day of my life.
My wife Sheila and me have been going out since February 2006, and after almost 2 years we got engaged. Legally, we were married on 28th May this year. However the cultural ceremonies didn’t take place till 1st September this year.
Sheila works as a journalist for New Straits Times, and she loves her job.
I thank everyone who attended my wedding, and the lunch reception in Melaka on the 14th. It really felt good seeing you guys there.
With all the wedding-related arguments now a thing of the past, I look forward to a happy life with Sheila. This video will be one of the most important things for us to remember our wedding, and I’m sure you’ll agree with me the memories look really good

Hey, Gobala, good video there and cograts to you. Where are you planning to go for your honeymoon?
And, I just skimmed through your new book and I must say, if any newbie want to dive into the world of money making online, that book is the best guide they can get.
And it even better than what most “gurus” sell.
(If you’re a newbie, stop buying any e-books and just give Gobala RM30+ for that book. It worth it
Man, congrat ..
When u will show ur baby’s face to us again?
hahhahah
Hi Gobala,
Sweet. Although I’m not understand meaning of the song but I can feel the romanticism is!
Congra to you, wish you happy as a clam and all your dream come true.
Blogger,
Vincent
I don’t understand the meaning either
Wah! So good, you look so happy! Congratulation…!
Where you go for the honey moon? No wonder long time no see you posting:)
Wish you a happy marriage and all the best for you and your wife!
Congrats man! Well done video and it looks brilliant! Im in the midst of planing mine as well and dude..i understand your pains man! Its a superb video never the less and you have to hook me up with them man!
Cheers & congrats!
Abi
You chose a great date for your “legal” wedding (28th May). Coz it’s my birth day… : )
Fantastic video!
Congratulation man! that was a nice video
All the best
Congratulations Gobala!!
Welcome to the club, finally! hehe
Hope you and your wife will live happily ever after.
Touching on the ‘war’ which you mentioned, hehe, well believe me, I think it happens to almost everyone of us living in this generation, and it happened to me too.
But of course my wife and I kept things cool since we don’t like to get into heated arguments over these things so as to respect our parents.
I’ve asked my friends and family members and almost all of them went through the same phase.. :-(, except those whose parents are no longer around.
Anyway, stay cool always and enjoy your marriage life bro!
Have a great day!
Best Wishes,
Ameer Salim
Hi Gobala,
Congratulation! I love your wedding movie.
I just launched my blog at http://www.TJune.com/wordpress .
You can watch my movie as well at http://www.TJune.com, but it is not my wedding movie.
It is my new way to inform my mum that we have baby!
Btw, when is your Millionaire Internet book released? I cannt find at MPH Book store….
Thanks
Best regards

Hey Gobs,
Nice wedding!
Even though Vince, Dennis and I traveled all the way to Melaka, we enjoyed the wedding because it was so unique compared to Chinese weddings… hehe.
And the singing was quite entertaining as well!
Lucky I wasn’t the one singing eh
Lol..
Thanks Khai for coming, seeing u guys there was a real pleasure for me and Sheila.
Not for the next 2 years
I want to travel more.
Check my next post for honeymoon info
We should celebrate together then
Save cost
I think it’s the huge generation gap between people our age and our parents. Sometimes it’s pretty clear no matter how much you explain they are never going to see things the way you see it.
You can ask MPH for the title, they should be able to guide you. MPH has thousands of books, last month my books were on “new arrivals” so it was easy to find.
Hi Bala,
Great video! So meaningful and really captured the special moment. Sheila looked so beautiful and you were very dashing. Here’s wishing you both many, many years of happiness!
love to you both,
shwu
Very nice to see the video Gobala Krishnan, i got your link from dailyseoblog.com

Congratulation Gobala.Happy wedding.The video was so nice.Hope you will be happy ending.
Congratulations bro. Nice wedding video. Enjoyed it very much. May your marriage last forever. Ameen.
Congratulation from me n family.
This is the topic I discuss with one of my survey friend. This year he should be 36 and still no settle down.
There is nothing to enjoy if we still single. Your soul still empty. Once you have your own family with children, you can feel the “parent” taste.
Believe me.
Hi Congrat..
are you a malayalee..looks like the wedding style that way..
anyway a bit stylish
Gobala! Finally you took the plunge! I’m sure it’s a wonderful jump! Ha ha. Congrats to you and your Sheila. May you be blessed with all the good things in life.
Normal lah, parents will always want to have a say. But it’s nice to have a little bit of culture in it.
Really good cinematic video production. Loved it. The best I have seen so far.
congrats bro…see you soon!
Hai Gobala. Congratulation man!
Welcome to the club.

Congratulations! Nice video. You look very good as a couple. You change for the better after you are married.
Many congratulations and may you be blessed with many children. Enjoy your honeymoon !
You may have had many argument with your parents regarding your planning for the WEDDING, now you can start having argument with your wife planning for your MARRIAGE…..!
Cheers mate !
The videographer did an excellent job in capturing the event! Congrats on your wedding!
Hi Gobala, congratulation, wish you all the best and happy sailing with your beloved wife. Your video is great, and really nice!

Congratulations Sheila and Gobala. May you be blessed in all your future endeavors together. It is probably a good thing you listened to your parents….. I am sure it was a BIG day for them as well. It his hard to break from customs and I’ll bet you look on this day in the future and maybe understand abit more about where they were coming from. I am proud of you for at least bending a little bit and I want you to mark the words of an old man here, your day will be coming in the future and don’t be surprised how you react to your childrens wedding(s)…. Good Luck in ALL you do……. Jerry

Hi Gobala Krishnan & Sheila,
First, I would like to congratulate you both and wish both a wonderful and good life together.
Secondly, thank very much for the great video. Very interesting indeed and I do enjoy watching it. In fact, I have added your wedding video to my YouTube favourite.
I have also passed it to my friends to share your joy.
Last but not least, hope you both get a junior pretty soon!
From Marang, Terengganu,
Gobala,
Thank you for sharing your special day with us.
In a world of cold internet marketers, it was a joy to see the personal side of one of those I have followed over the years.
May you and Sheila have many happy years together.
I have always been intrigued by other culture’s traditions, and we often only see the result and not the process and compromise that has been part of the path to a specific day. While I sense you had your frustrations, I see your commitment to your new wife and you still made the most of this special day. It is the same passion I have observed in your business.
Thank you for being one of the good guys, and again for sharing.
I will be watching you as you hopefully continue to share your knowledge and experiences with us who have not risen to your level yet.
Best wishes and congratulations from Canada!

Hello Gobala,

Hi Bala,
This is the moment I have been waiting to congrats u…
watched the video when melvin showed yesterday but can’t wait to watch again. I would said this is a perfect works done by your video crew.
Yeah, it is never been easier when come to wedding ceremoney. Parents always want to give their opinions when come to this big event.
Sorry for not able to attend your wedding due to the busy works from my blogging bootcamp and my baby girl not feeling well, especially the 2nd reason. Once you have your own bab(ies), you will tends to give most of your time. Trust me, you would love too.
So, make use of these 2 years (as your plan) to travel as many places as possible and stay at home for the next 2 - 5 years at home.
Wish you all the best in marriage … may god bless you abundantly in all the area.
Dear Bala,
Nice wedding video. Indian customs and traditions live in Malaysia. Very Happy to see that when things are changing so much in India in the so called modernisation trend.
Hope you spread the message of keeping our traditions and culture alive at least to keep our following generations to know where we came from. Kudos to you again Bala
Hi Gobal, congratulation, wish you all the best and happy married life.
WOW! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL & SACRED CEREMONY..I HAD TO WATCH IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE FULL IMPACT.WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY TO BE IN.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING SUCH A WONDERFUL, PRIVATE MOMENT W/THE WORLD…I WILL PLAY THIS VIDEO FROM TIME TO TIME TO UPLIFT MY SPIRITS…THE PEOPLE & ALL THE FLOWERS…MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU & YOUR VERY BEAUTIFUL WIFE…….YOU MUST BE SO PROUD & HONORED TO HAVE FOUND SUCH A WONDERFUL PARTNER IN LIFE….MAY YOU BE BLESSED IN ALL YOU UNDERTAKE………..

Congrats!
Wish You Both A Very Happy & Blessed Married Life!
Keep Smiling Always!
Congratulations Gobala.
I wish you and your beautiful wife a lifetime of happiness.
I hope that now you have had time to reflect you see that having the traditional wedding was so much better, not only because it means you are good people for respecting your parents and family but because of the beautiful memories it created.
May I ask, what was your preferred alternative? Would it have produced the treasured memories that your beutiful ceremony left you with?
As a non religious person i found the 7 minutes of footage above really really beautiful and wish that my wife and I had such a memory. We have our own of course, but we both agree that your traditional wedding was amazing.
All the best to you and your family

Hi Gobala Congratulations to you both
You might be sightly annoyed as to what I have to say but Im glad your parents ‘won the war!”.
You cant ignore your heritage.
The image portrayed is beautiful, unique and romantic.
(Not just another white wedding if that was what you were planning)
Plus your wife looks radiant, beautiful and stunning in traditional attire, how could you not love your final decision to go traditional.(plus you scrub up pretty nicely to)
(Mmm interesting to see in the future if you will have the same argument with your children).
Enjoy the beauty of Marriage!

BTW Gobs, Sheila looks gorgeous in the video. Who was the guy with her in the video? That dude is handsome. I thought you were suppose to be the groom?
Just kidding Gobs…haha…have fun.
Hi Gobala!
Nice video..! Wish you a grate and delightful future to both of you. You know? September is a precious month for me. That is because, September is my and my girl friend’s birth month. I presented a website for her birthday, this year.
Check it out! Mifrah
Congratulations!

Hey, Gobala Krishnan, good video there and Congratulations to you both.
Exactly, but there was way too many photographers on stage including my friends, so the “flashing” got out of control
I know, i look good, ehem..
The website looks great!

Congratulation, Gobala & Sheila! Thank you for sharing the great video. Both of you look so stunning! Wishing you a blissful life together!
Sorry for the late visit, I’ve been offline since raya! Heehee!
I’ve said this once before, and I’m gonna said it again… Wait till you become a parent yourself, then you’ll understand it’s a parent’s duty to ‘almost ruin everything’ for you! Heehee! It won’t be long now….
Congratulations Gobala, to you and Sheila.
Thank you for sharing your wedding video with us. I know you’re proud of it, and you should be. But this is such a public forum for such a significant personal and meaningful event, so I am humbled at the opportunity.
It was an absolutely beautiful video. The colors were gorgeous and the rituals showing the two joining and the family blessing were nice.
Sheila looked so beautiful and graceful, and you were quite dashing yourself.
But most of all, you look like you two have a fine connection and appreciation for one another.
I wish you the best in life together.
Warm regards.
Congratulations! Nice video
