weddings week

6 Oct 2006




Took a day off (yeah I had a day off for working on a whole Sat early last month. Kinda loo-gee leh) to attend Liying’s (and his huaband Alan) ROM.

It is the first time I attended a friend’s ROM at ROM building. Haha. Huifen’s had her Rom held in her house last year, whereas other friends only invite me to wedding dinner.

We spotted Liying as my friend & I reached the building. Yes, she looked so pretty in her pink gown, curly and real thick eyelashes (and we do think she is the prettiest among the other brides presented). She also invited some of her poly ex-classmates along. Huifen and her husband reached abt 20 mins later. Once they came, Huifen became the target for teasing. She seems to gained a few pounds on her usual skinny frame, and as her husband put it :嫁给他后，好吃好住。

Seems like quite a few couples chose to get married on that day, despite it being a weekday. Perhaps it is also due to the Mooncake Festival which falls on the same day. 中秋节，花好月圆嘛！

We moved into the room as the LCD showed up the name of the couple, asking them to standby.

Franly speaking, the ROM process seems so short. Less than 5 minutes. The Justice of Peace seems to be in a rush ( we were told that he mentioned to the couple that he was already behind schedule). The couple said their vows (which was a different way from Huifen & Jeffrey’s ROM held last year) , exchanged rings and then we were ushered out of the room.

As usual, we took a few pics and then we proceed to Goodwood Park to have our High Tea Buffet – a treat from the newly weds. The cakes and the chicken wings were great. Had a round of main course, appetizers and desserts . So that makes 3 rounds. We were so full that we decided to skip our dinner..

It’s really us for Liying to invite us 4 to her ROM as we can have someone to chat with as we are not familiar with her other friends , not to mention her husband’s friends. Haha.

Then, Huifen start to comment that my ROM will be very special as I always have specials touches to the parties I organized. 啊！怎么可以这么说。终身大事不可能是我一个人做主的，也要看对方的意见嘛。


Anyway, as for her customary wedding, it is likely to be held late next year, after they have receive the keys to their flat.





8 Oct 2006

Attend a colleague’s wedding at Sheraton Towers. It’s quite a formal & proper event. Can’t believe there was actually no “sabo~ing” from any tables at all. Not that there weren’t any liqueur available. Having attended quite a few weddings from young, this wedding really brought a new light that not all couples will get sabo on their wedding dinner. Guess it really has to depend on the atmosphere. As nobody starts the ball rolling, others also feel “shy” to sabo the couple.
