maurice just got married (the traditional part that is!) yesterday..i got invited to be one of his "brothers"..considering that i haven't really known him that long, it was a real privilege that he even asked me! =) in the morning, after meeting at his place, we proceeded to the wife's parents' house to "bang door"..the challenges were pretty "normal" - star jumps on the rooftop of the opposite carpark and maurice singing a short verse of "smoke gets in your eyes" across the block!, all 8 brothers kissing maurice on the face and the usual "suan tian ku la" (sour sweet bitter spicy) "food fare"! anyway i thought we kind of got in a little easy in the end..haha..but good for us! =P after that, we went over to maurice's place again for the tea ceremony then back to cecilia's (his wife) for the same thing and buffet lunch..we went our separate ways after lunch but met back in the evening to help out with the wedding dinner..
dinner was at the holiday inn parkview..the brothers were mainly in charged of reception and the ushering of guests..not that we were much help! dinner consisted of the usual 8-course, champagne toasting, photo-taking..and the usual sabo-ing of the bride and groom! the thing i don't understand is, why do friends always want to sabo them on their wedding night and with alcohol?! gosh..both of them looked real sick after the first sabo session..i cannot imagine how they both must be after the second one (if there was, cuz i had left by then!)..i think i've decided after last night's events that there will be no hard liquor, no wine, no beer, no alcohol at my wedding next time! the closest anyone should get to an alcoholic drink is root beer take it or leave it! but of course, i may change my mind when that day gets nearer! =P
last but not least, to maurice and cecilia, here's wishing you two the best of times together and may your lives be filled with bliss, love and much happiness!
cheers!
