Matrimonial weekend

Getting married is no easy feat, I tell ya.

Fussing about the flowers and decorations, the banquet seating arrangement, the music for march in etc.. Doing the rounds at the tables for phototaking and smiling till you can feel your make up all gluely and sticky on your face..

And no if you were wondering if I could married over the weekend, I didn't lah.
Though I did attend two weddings over the weekend.

Friday night was a wedding banquet at Raffles Hotel. A friend from university. I was glad dear was invited as well and he sure was a great company! I know I would be bored stiff if I have to sit through the 3 hour dinner alone, though thereotically I had some uni mates at the same table and I shouldn't be feeling that way.. hmm..

The food was not too bad though the air conditioning didn't seem to work quite properly. It was a little too hot and stuffy for our liking, and it didn't help that we had wine glass after glass! My silly bf seemed to enjoy the wine a lot better than he did with the food. His refills were straight after another! And I think by the time I finish my one glass of wine, he already finished three glasses... :D

Sunday's wedding was a ROM reception at some exclusive and ultra expensive condo in Town. I heard per unit there cost at least 4 million. And man the visitor's carpark was one of a kind! Disregarding the fact that the carpark was bigger than most of the ones I see at the malls in Singapore, the cars parked there were woah and wow! (for lack of better words). As we drove into the carpark looking for a lot, we saw a galore of sports cars, and even spotted two red ferraris parking side by side. Mercedes and BMWs felt like some second-grade cards next to all those flashy ones, I tell ya. Some of those cars parked there cost a great deal more than the apartments an average Singaporean live in.. We made our way to the clubhouse and spotted many angmohs and figured these are probably the expat families.

(eeks I digress)

Ah yes the ROM reception. It was a simple solemnization affair with the Justice of Peace. The whole thing took less than 15 minutes followed by photo taking and lunch buffet. The newlyweds were dear's friends so it was a lovely time for him to catch up with his friends.

Number of weddings attended : 2
Number of times I was asked when my turn was : 3
Number of times he was asked when his turn was : 2
Number of times we whispered I love you-s : countless

I am feeling happy albeit really tired. Good night!
