Erm no... it wasnt my wedding but my mother's side cousin's wedding on sunday that i'd attended.

What can i say but sorry, the wedding dinner was really lousy. It was held at Yio Chu Kang Community Centre with no air-conditioning. Food wasnt that good. Imagine the dessert was a small cup of wall's ice-cream...

It was a shot-gun marriage by the way.. My cousin whom i dun really know well is 33 years old while the bride is only 21! Same age as me and pregnant for 4 months! Oh my... There was no professional photographer, no professional host or whatever, lousy music and a few 'cold' moments when i felt the bride and bridegroom must be quite embarrassed.

When the dinner was about to start, the person in charged of music asked everyone to rise for the arrival of the bride and bridegroom. But, no one stood up. That person asked the second time, then everyone stood up and welcomed the couple.

When it was time for toasting, the couple stood at the stage waiting for family to go up and that took really quite long. The three yum sengs lacked enthusiam. After that, one of my aunties took the microphone and said in chinese, "Please forgive if there is any lack in hospitality." Oh well... we could understand that.


And so i thought, would anyone actually have his/her wedding dinner held in a high class hotel and eating international buffet? Let's say $40 per person. It is good idea isnt it? No one can complain about having too much/little food. It's buffet! It's INTERNATIONAL! You wont waste money because it is counted by per guest who arrived. You wont be overcharged if u pay by per table and suddenly not all people arrived.

But, well, the tradition of a 10-course dinner is not there anymore.. People will probably still be binded by such stigma.. Perhaps..
