so sleepy today...@@_@@
yesterday's wedding was quite a disappointment coz most of us had expected to be quite a grand or at least a better one..
i actually went to buy a new skirt and new top for the wedding coz i was told by my aunt that we were to do the reception so should wear sth nice and proper rite?
probably i expected TOO much already, coz it was q different from cous Karen's one a few years back..
For one thing, it was way TOO simple...i mean the wedding was held at Chevron's ballroom which I haven't been to, so I tot it won't be that bad from those hotels ballrooms rite? But turned out that it IS that bad. There weren't any decorations or flowers at the reception table, u have to walk thru an L-shaped corridor to the ballroom and the corridor was very messy. Next the couple jus came in, pop the champagne, cut the cake and returned to their seats to eat dinner. No speech, no wedding photos or ppt slideshows....no hoo-has...REAL simple..den they changed another outfit and came in simply, sat down at their table again, took photos w each table, no yum-seng as well. And when we came to the dessert already, we saw ppl from other tables alr stood up leaving the place. We were like "huh? finished already??" and yup, the newly-weds were standing at the door waiting to shake ur hands and thank you for coming before u leave the ballroom.
oh man, it's really not wat i had expected. I mean my aunt was saying that she need receptionists, usherers and stuff, made it sound like it's gonna be so crowded and have loads of guests coming in lidat. but turns out that they're less than 20 tables and many of the groom's friends arrived so late. Everything ended in a v simple way in 2 hrs time.
If I had known it was lidat, i won't bother to spend money to buy new clothes alr, jus grab watever's presentable and jus wear it, heck man.
I wonder if my cous had wanted it this way, a simple wedding. Or maybe their budget is abit tight so they dun wan to spend so much on the wedding. But i stil feel that the place (Chevron) as well as the food was really sub-standard, there's lack of sincerity in inviting guests.
I kept telling my other cous who sat w us that I'll make sure in future my wedding will NEVER be lidat. At least, not at Chevrons.
