Contrary to what I wrote yesterday, today is very much about why I love going to friends' wedding dinners.
Well, first of all, chances are that you will be seated with friends you had not met for a long time and catching up with old friends is always a blast. There will always be that geeky outcast who evolves into a stunner, success stories, sad stories, heart warming episodes and many many more small talk.
So, what if you don't get to seat with anyone you know? Its still fun, considering that you will be meeting interesting personalities who share their own prospective of the couple. Who knows? You may find out a little more about the couple, no matter how close you are to them.
Perhaps the most satisfying reason for me to attend friends' weddings is the time that I'll be able to spend with my other half. I know its pathetic, but wedding dinners never fails to create a romantic ambiance and its a perfect excuse for ladies to dress up pretty. You can always turn to your other half and go, "Awww... Aren't that sweet?" Sometimes life is so fast paced that you wish it could slow down a little for you.
I had missed quite a few wedding dinners in recent months due to my stay here in Canada. The most recent was yesterday and the happy couple happened to be my close friends. I believed all of my childhood friends were present and I guess they must had pretty much fun.
From the traditional bickering and bargaining of 'Hong Bao' money at the bride's home. To driving the bridesmaid from one place to another in the day, to helping out to arrange wedding tables for the photo shoot in the evening.
My favourite task is to be the groom's bodyguard or sidekick, taking out all liquors that is pushed towards him. Ensuring the groom does not get drunk, while my vision gets blurred. Making sure the groom is able to stand straight by the doorway to shake the hands of his guests, while I make my way to the toilet bowl.
