Zhanrui's and Lingwen's WeddingIt all started at a really really early hour in the morning. All of us woke up at around 4am. Prepared a bit , changed into our "brothers" attire and left for the hotel. Well, still felt kinda sleepy then... Have been watching a lot of those TV proramme where they were showing the bridegroom trying to buy over the "sisters" with big angbaos, answering trivia about the bride etc... but, its never the same when you are actually doing it. There is really this sense of excitement and fun in it! Partly due to the timing, not much noise was allowed and we eventually managed to squeeze in easily. On the way out of the hotel, I saw the most grotesque sight of my life... I thought I saw a cool guy that looked like Jack Sparrow. However, it turned out to be a freaking gross and turn-off trans!!! He/She stood beside the bridal car and kept waving to us! EEKKS!
Thereafter was all the ceremonies... offering of tea to elders etc.... then something unexpected came. Mum suddenly called "Where's Jiang? Come, offer tea to kor and sor..." I was like "what???" When and how did I come into picture, I thought it was a couple to elders issue... boo... Being the youngest if not fair. People wedding I must offer them, next time my own wedding I still must offer them. Boo...
At night, it was a simple and nice dinner. Nothing fanciful nothing dynamic, but its really sweet to see them march down the aisle together, hand in hand. When "Power of Love" was played, and they both entered the ballroom, it was so touching that tears welled up in my eyes. I knew it was a happy occasion, but I was just too happy for them. I held them back. I really really wish them all the best. This brother I knew for 21 years seemed to have changed so much suddenly... Ha...
I am so full of envy...
Cheers
