“A photo a week challenge : ( romance )”

I wanted to participate in a photo challenge and the link is here https://nadiamerrillphotography.wordpress.com/2016/01/21/a-photo-a-week-challenge-romance/

The reason I want to post this photo is because they are real people and real life and indeed real romance. I can guarantee that because the guy is my younger brother and the girl is my sister in law and although they are being artists , at the time of photo, they were not acting for it. They have been married for six years and their story is worthwhile to tell.

My brother was born from a middle class with the lineage of doing business.  Dad is very encouraging about our hobbies and he ended up in music industry where none of the family members ventured before. He is well known, but still have to struggle a lot to release his albums.

She was only 18 when she fell in love with him. Unlike our family , she was raised up to be famous since young. She became a child model since very young and she has a look for it. When she called my brother and tried to introduce to him  as his fan, he did not even know she was doing modelling. In short, they fell in love . My sister in law was supposed to study in Singapore, but she came back Burma secretly to elope with my brother. She was too young and marriage was not approved in the beginning by the parents. Early marriage at 19 year is as equal as a career suicide in Asia. It is better to remain single to maintain the fame as long as you can. But she said ” yes ” firmly and she believes this is the man she really loves. So they got married.

A lot of people are doubtful how long their marriage would last in the beginning. It is because celebs can get divorce very easily . Nah, my sister in law is not that kind of person. She vows that my brother’s career is ahead of hers and supports him with her heart and soul. They had to wait five years to have their first baby. I am sure your heart will melt when you see my niece.

baby Cara

She is one of the most adorable babies. She loves selfies and posing for photos as much as her modelling mother and loves singing and spinning ( in her sense, it is dancing ) as much as her dad.

When people said ” smile, Cara!”, she did that.

 

They have problems of climbing up their career ladder with a small child who needs full time attention . They both take turns to look after the child when one of them have to go for work. Cara loves to go out for shooting with mommy and now, she is starting to have photo shoots for magazines.

The reason Cara was pouting her lips was because of  her fear of losing the sunglasses. She loves her shades and what an opportunity to wear them full time in Asia.

When my brother needs advertisement for his album, the model is his wife most of the time. They do not have much money right now . But they have each other plus a lot of love from their fans  and passion for what they are doing  and that is more than one can ask for.

There is a saying that “Being together with people you love ” is one of the most valuable things in life and they proved it.
