ok, i'm jealous.. the holy matrimony is very nicely done and for once, the fullerton banquet is good.. but best of all, i get to see my my ex-cg members, known 10yrs back, all gathered in one place. though i dun really know them well (kinda feel stranger in the midst), but it's always good to see them all still under the same cg zone, under Pst Derek. and.. almost 80% of guests today are 'high management' church workers, active in church ministry and doing well and great in career.. if only i didnt back-slid then, i'd be married to one of these leaders by now (just as most of them are)..
ops, sorry, i forgot to fill you in.. Mr and Mrs Alec Ngo - two have become one today in Fullerton hotel. yes, even my 'last' bachelor buddy is now married. they finally ended their 6yrs courtship.. 6yrs.. wonder how 'stressed' bosco would be(we were only 4yrs!), but then again, i'd glad it's only 4yrs - it's already bad enough. holy matrimony was good cos majority of chc music ministry was involved and our infamous chinese translator - Ms Lulu was invited.. the wedding banquet is expectedly grand cos alec is navy officer, hence the sword-bearers were there.. when i was young, i used to dream of having such an wedding entrance *i'm men-in-uniform fetish*.. but now, looking at my 'dream entrance', the feeling is neutral..
honestly, everytime i attend weddings, esp Holy Matrimony, i will build my dream wedding in the air.. the praise n worship songs, location, solemnizer, who to invite, number of guests, timing and even what topic of sermon to preach.. will my bridegroom give me a lovely surprise by singing/dancing/poem? (it's almost a norm for CHC bridegroom to dedicate such sweet surprises to the bride n the 'standard' keeps getting higher).. then i'll go on to visualise how the morning tea ceremony will be.. how many entourage, the sequence of ritual *i'm quite familiar by now* (he must be a really fun-loving bridegroom who is willing to endure the trials from my entourage).. and how determined i am to add my 'personal touch' to honour our (mine + his) parents.. as for the dinner, i have this preference to have it as casual as possible, if possible a theme party.. but i know being the eldest of the family, it wont be easy to obtain approval for 'casual dining'.. and how about the montage? i certainly against the conventional animations, photo clips, life/love story plot.. got to think of something more innovative.. how about the speech and thanksgiving gifts? the march-in song? the wedding souvenirs? as a ex-hotelier, i'm also concerned abt the service and even the 1st-dish presentation.. all the details for the one big day..
yes, i know i'm building castle in the air, but which girl wont? it's a once in a lifetime dream..i know i'm dreaming as if i'm wedding to myself, without considering his dream wedding and his preference.. well, since he's not shown himself, allow me to carry on with my 'J&J wedding'. i often wonder.. how much time do i have to plan all these? 1yr? 6mth?? if it's gonna be another 4yrs rship, gosh.. i might have a lot of kids in my wedding dinner.. that'll be another consideration..
lisa commented on their rship: "i told him straight in the face - he's not the guy for me. but when i prayed about it, i was reminded i cannot judge a person by his looks, but his heart'..
frankly, i'm not looking for looks, but guys i know these days have a lazy heart.. :(
