Wedding of Dave and Jaslyn
Last Sunday was my big brother's big day. He is now 32 and ready to settle down and set up a family. But it seems like my da ge and da sao are not so keen to have kids yet. Anyway, this is not for me to comment.
A few days before the big celebration, some of my relatives from Malacca came to stay with us. I moved to the shop to sleep while I let them have my room. Its been a long time since I last talked to these people. I felt bad for not having the time to bring them around. Well at least for Malaysians, they are still quite familiar with Singapore. So, they just go free and easyf around the island.
Then, just the day before my elder brother's wedding, my aunt and family from Hongkong came to stay with us. It was really nice to see them again after all these years. By then, we have 13 people including my grandmother squeezing into a 5-room flat. But I guessed they were so happy to see one another, they did not mind the cramp.
So the actual day came. I got to fetch my aunt the "Matchmaker" from Jurong to my place at 8am. Then, my brother brought her together with all the "brothers" to go and snatch the bride. In the midst, they must perform some traditional acts like giving red packets to the boy who opened the car door and throwing away the fan when the bride and groom got into the car. I saw the montage and I thought my brother's sabotaged scenes were pretty standard but I am glad that that will not be my consequence. Then, with all the elders in my house, we were waiting eagerly for the arrival of the couple for the tea ceremony. That was when I got my big Ang Bao and got to eat nice buffet food!
After the couple left for their new home for phototaking and then to the bride's place for tea ceremony, it was basically rest and relax for us before we headed down to Marriott Hotel for the solemnization ceremony. Dear and I were tasked to prepare the reception tables which I thought would be a good learning time for us. Hehe!
The wedding dinner followed the cocktail session and then the whole night just automatically rolled. The montages were quite creatively produced unlike the usual childhood and couple photos kind. The food were quite ok but not fantastic.
Sometimes, the question which people seldom have a good answer came from the relatives. That is "So when is your turn?"
