This seems to be the season for
weddings. And it seems that I have the potential to be a wedding helper. Just last Saturday, I was privileged to help out in K&M's big day; first, as a chauffeur for the helpers to and fro and second, as some sort of bridal assistant, trailing behind the bride to carry her gown, collecting ang pao on her behalf, trying to give her encouragement and calm her nerves, etc. I must say it's very tiring but rewarding.
Right after K&M's big day, I was invited to be involved in R&C's upcoming wedding. Just came home from the briefing, in fact. This time, I'm supposed to be the chauffeur for the helpers again, also arranging of the tables and chairs at Fort Canning, and finally the receptionist. I feel so honored to be helping out yet I wonder if I'll be able to cope with not getting enough rest these past few weeks. Been feeling very tired. Not that I've been studying very much, just accumulated lack of sleep from staying up late I guess. Anyway, all the weddings have been giving me stuff to think about if I ever do get married...
- I think I prefer Buffet style.
- Maybe somewhere either really classy or a simple romantic evening outside in tune with nature under big tents or something.
- Have both families look at the guest list and table seating arrangement in advance.
- I think a bride should get enough rest so earliest she should wake up (if she can sleep at all) should be 8am.
- Dinner should be early so it won't end later than 10pm.
- Treat all helpers and thank them sincerely through cards or some other means.
- Don't invite people I don't like.
- If need be, have 2 dinners, one for people I really like, with performances, dance and songs; another for people who need to be invited for formality's sake like relatives who are not so close.
- Do away with the groom coming to pick the bride up and then going to the wedding venue. It's just too troublesome and I don't see the need for it.
- Have a reliable bridesmaid, a responsible Director of feast and a trustworthy best man.
- Have fun during the wedding! After all, it's your big day! You should be happy and not let anyone else spoil it for you.
Yup. I guess that's all for now. Anyway, there's still a long road ahead till I meet THE ONE. Haha... Back to watching K-drama! Tata!
