The wedding feast of a secondary school classmate of mine was held last night which happens to be the 3rd wedding this year among the group. All of them are guys, except for another girlie. One of the guys married another classmate, another is divorced and rest of them are either engaged, married or on honeymoon. Was chatting with Empress Dowager Yappie, discussing if women really fret at our age when left on the shelf. The answer was no. We're all matured, financially independent girls and we don't necessarily need to get tied down by "more troubles". But as the conversation progress, we began to see the emptiness in each other, longing to have someone by our side. Not so much going into a marriage or in most cases with our friends, rushing into it. It's about finding someone who can and will be there for you and to be willing to spend the rest of their lives with you. Some people get themselves in mess after mess and others fret too much to get into anything near an entanglement. I must say that I was really touched by the speech given by the groom last night. We can feel the sincerity and his willingness to take care of the bride all his life and knowing him, if there are no big screw up, we do see them last a lifetime. As we were leaving, I could see the changed man in him, the married man. You could really see it in his eyes, he's ready for bigger things in life. I'm genuinely happy for him.
On a totally separate note though still revolving around the wedding dinner that took place last night, why do people not turn up on time and RSVP ahead. The bride texted everyone at least twice over the past week to remind all her guests. Dinner was meant to commence at 7.30pm but dinner started at 9pm. Don't people have any sense for being on time. Isn't punctuality at these wedding dinners the main issue people talk about time and again? So why aren't Singaporeans bringing out their business and professional side and be on time? It's not as if we don't have any clocks in this country. How can we ever be a first-class nation? Ex-Sir's Sir was telling me about this wedding over the weekend went by military precision. I know the bride and the groom and most importantly, all his "brothers". All officers so what do you expect? but minimum requirement for normal PEASANTS like us will still be ARRIVING ON TIME.
An ideal wedding means different things to everyone. It's tough to keep it small when you have got gigantic, super-extended Chinese family. Most people split them up these days but general feedback is to keep things in one day and get done and over with it. Forewarn the helpers that they probably need 3 days MC to recuperate after your wedding. But on this day, you will know who are your real buddies and the fairweather ones.
It was kinda hilarious when Empress Dowager Yappie reminded me of a possible convey on my special day which wouldn't be anytime in the near future and the likelihood of needing to colour-code them. It was fun being super girlie and have dreams although I was dog tired when I went back last night. Empress Dowager Yappie, drinks tonight?
