I attended 2 wedding dinners last weekend. The first was the wedding of my brother-in-law's sister MQ. It was at Bliss Garden Restaurant at Singapore Expo. I had been advised that the march in will be at 830pm.. My flight back from Paris was due to touch down at 545pm.. however, by the time i cleared immigration and collected my baggage, it was already 615pm. And as luck had it, i run into some technical problems at immigration and my baggage took longer than usual to arrive.
It was a mad rush when K and I reached home. I bathed, put on some make up and then we rushed down to pick my mom up before heading to the restaurant. When we arrived at the restaurant, the bride and groom were already standing outside waiting to march in. So i kinda half ran, half walk into the restaurant..
MQ had put in photos of her brother, my sister and me in her wedding photo montage. I had no issues with it, except that the pictures were more than 10 years old, and i looked like a nerd. K and I had a good laugh over it! + P The march in was quite interesting. When the doors opened, the groom came in by himself and sang a cantonese love song. I never knew he had the talent of a karaoke king! It was really sweet.. as the song ended, he walked out to bring in his bride for the actual march in.. I didn't really enjoyed the dinner though, although i thought i would since it would be the first Asian meal i had since i came back from Paris. But the dishes were sub-standard. It was more like a catching-up session for me and my family.. = )
The second wedding that i attended was a secondary school friend that K and I both knew. It was at Conrad. Before the wedding, K and I went to Golden Mile to pick up my parents in law from their Genting trip, before rushing (again!) for the wedding dinner. It was nice catching up with some old friends again at the table.. The couple had hired a professional to be their emcee.. in the beginning, i thought the emcee was quite good, but he kinda got pretty lame and irritating towards the end. Overall ambience was good, food-wise.. so so only. The whole group at my table stayed back after the dinner with the intention of making the couple pissed drunk, but to no avail. Ended up one of the groom's "brothers" got drunk instead. We were very disappointed. The bride's father was so so protective of his daughter that he stood beside her the whole while, asking her not to drink, asking US to not force her to drink, and then sticking around until she had no choice but to go back to her room, leaving us with her husband. Bummer! I'm kinda proud to say my wedding was definitely more happening than theirs! At least our friends (those who are close enough to bother to stay back) got their chance to "saboh" us untill we puke into the wee hours of the morning on our wedding night! = P
