Attended 2 weddings recently, one of which I regretted going to because I was there as a '+1' i.e. not my circle of friends and the food sucked. [the cocktails kept me alive, thank God!] slipped out of it as soon as they announced the start of games... gasp! to me those are games we are forced to participate in during corporate team-building events, you know those HR things where they herd us somewhere and make us say hi to the IT guy seated in the corner and ask each other's favorite colors, that sort of thing? shudder. i will mingle when i feel like mingling, thank you. The couple seemed nice enough, best wishes to you both. warning: to those reading this post and happen to know which wedding reception i'm talking about, do not repeat this to the couple. i repeat, do not repeat this to the couple!
The second wedding was a lot more pleasant, the first reason being we both know the bride and she looked happy, radiant and beautiful [as always], secondly it was a very casual, laid back ceremony with a humorous pastor and his awesome mandarin translator side-kick [who i slow-clapped for in my head] and lastly the catering was quality, 'nuff said. Congratulations again to the couple with your gummy smiles and we wish you lots of happy and sweet memories as you start your journey together as man and wife.
Oh, at each wedding, the inevitable question someone will ask is "so when did you guys get married?" Our reply almost always end up in some surprise and the usual "woah, so long?" response. you can see it in their eyes, they're doing some mental sums in their head taking 2014 minus 9 years and trying to work out at what age we got married and what they were doing in 2005. yes, 2005! in 2005 we got married and it's been awesome. thanks hubs.
