The Wedding
Yesterday, I went to my polymate's wedding dinner at
Holiday Inn Atrium. I was so stupid, I took MRT to Tiong Bahru Station, then waited a whole 20 minutes for cab. When in actual fact, I could have taken to Orchard MRT, then take bus 16, because the freaking hotel is just opposite Zouk and I know how to go to Zouk.
Anyway, this is the first wedding dinner I've attended of somebody who's of the same age as me. I've always thought that 24 years old is a little bit too young to get married, like you can enjoy a few more years of singlehood before getting hitched. But then, I've also came to realize that if the next few years of dating life is going to be the same as your past years, then why waste time when you can start a new phase of life? Just some random thought.
My friend looked gorgeous that day. I supposed every bride is at her most beautiful on her special day. I read somewhere that women are always fantasizing about her own wedding. Funny though, coz I have not actually thought of how my own wedding would be.
I think a wedding dinner is also a good place to mingle and catch up with friends whom you have not seen for a long time. Another friend commented that wedding dinners nowadays are like so "express", you can finish it within 2 hours or so, as compared to your
ah-ma times. I think it's because as you get older, quality time passes like a flash, especially so when you come for the dinner late as compared to your
ah-ma times, when people arrive for dinner at 6 and you are young without friends of your age, so you just sit at one corner and rot while everybody else is busy talking.
On a sidenote, I realized just yesterday how gentlemanly my friend's boyfriend is.
You know, gentlemanly guys never fail to impress me.
