weddings here and there.

19 Jan 2007

while a friend and i were chatting, the topic of weddings came up. we both agreed that of late, there has been a wedding and two hundred to attend. forking out money for angpow is now so frequent that one day i’ll have to break open my piggy bank for emergency purposes.

(another friend just told me so and so has just gotten married recently.)

so we’re of marriageable age, huh, we pondered.

in reality, everyone is marriageable when they hit 16, for all you know. in some countries, younger. in this context, however, we meant that we are now responsible adults, working and making a living, have your own career and financially stable to take that one giant leap forward to secure that ball and chain … no?

another friend asked how i’d imagine my wedding to be. uhm, i cracked my head. i never thought about it, honestly, i said.

he asked if i fancied the champagne popping ceremony on stage during the wedding reception, the fake 5-tiered wedding cake and the slide show of pictures of the happily married couple.

now what’s wrong the the slide show? i like that.

irregardless of being of marriageable age, i don’t think i’ll ever be ready to think and plan for my future wedding … i’ll just be my procrastinating self and worry about it when it comes.

it so happens that i’m unable to attend an old high school classmate’s wedding at the end of the month.

does it mean i still have to give an angpow?

    ah marriage.. the supposedly next step in the stairs of life. there’s always this nagging voice at the back of your head, saying that it’s time.. let’s go.. you can do it.. and all that. but you know.. if you feel you’re not up to it (yet), then just don’t give much thought to it and pay attn to other important matters.

    like health. or chocolate. 😛

    Heh on the subject of getting hitched, I mentioned to Woozie earlier that Henry was getting married. The conversation then went along this lines:

    A: Who do you think will get hitched next, Rudy or Wan Yee?
    T: Hmm…(ponders). I dunno man, they seem to be neck and neck with each other in that race.

    😛

    lol. we’re like the last two in the race, both saying “hey, you go on ahead”. “no, you go”. “no, you”, etc.

    men always race to be the last to get married.
    sure or not, that’s what they want? hehe.

    Neck and neck? Woohooo.. looks like we’ll have to start more rumours soon with Rudy. That should tip the scales!

    rumors will only obscure the truth. 😛 the truth that i’ll lose the race. heh.
