Happy endings to weddings always starts with a painful beginning, trust me it's all
worth it!
1. Choosing the Man:Make sure he doesnt get cold feet, make sure he is useful, make sure he knows
how to
calm you down when you're freaking out about every single thing about your wedding.
Man - my wife is freaking me out! She broke down crying when I told her Im loosing
more hair!
2. Choosing the Location: Depending on your family and the 5 million other people
you need to satisfy - but putting that all aside, when you finally do find the place make sure the sales rep of the location/hotel/etc is reliable - better if she/he is a push over so you can negotiate for more freebies! Run constant checks on them to
see if things are working out fine and if arrangements are made according to
WHAT YOU WANT and not WHAT THEY CAN DO. Malaysians are exceptional
to say "no can do" for everything before they even try!
We chose a beach wedding - so be practical with your clothings! I blew my RM300 shoes on the sand and now i can't wear it ever again!
Breathtaking!
3. Deciding who to invite: If you're bold enough not to be disowned by your
parents, avoid relatives and 5000 noisy children you don't even know from your wedding. Sweet talk your mum (easiest target), promise a compensation-family-dinner after.
I opted for a very small wedding (according to Asian standards!) and we both invited
our closest dearest friends, not to mention people who knew how to have loads of fun!
sober..
drunk
almost unconsious...
4. Avoid getting your husband's drinking pal as MC for your wedding:
trust me, mine turned out to be quite a disaster! jokes you make when you're out
having a drink on the brink of getting drunk CANNOT BE ABSOLUTELY recycled
for weddings! Dirty jokes aside, lame comments and crude words can be fun at a birthday party but not at a wedding!
Geez, I would have killed him if I was drunk enough!
seriously, i looked like i was having fun with this MC, but look closer, i had a knife up my
skirt - - - owwwwww i can kill him
5. Have your husband surprise you: Now, laundrying your love story
(how you met,how you fell in love) is usually quite 'shy' for most Asians. But having
a totally sweet, romantic Gwai Lo husband like mine speaking his heart out about
his love to me and dedicating a 5 min speech to me I swear reduces any girl to
tears (not to mention spoiling your make up, but who cares!)
God, you created a fine man!! What piece of art!
6. And finally have fun with your guests!: As most Asians weddings will
have it, whenyou attend as a guest - usually you give your ang pow, sit down and eat
and bugger off. Peter and I decided to have fun with them and make them be a part
of the wedding. We played a simple game that got all the guest up on their seats
laughing, cursing and importantly having fun! And of course, if you're too broke
after all the wedding expenses and can't afford to pay for entertainment - get your
guest to entertain you!
doing the YMCA - i must say it was most amusing to see Alex dance!
What a way to start of a great life with my husband!
A night to remember - 4th November 2006..
