My Wedding Experience

Just got back from my cousin's wedding. I didn't know my cousin is marrying one of CLEO's Most Eligible Bachelors. Only from the visual slideshow they provided did I knew it. JW Marriott does provide one of the best ballrooms in KL I have to say . I think it was overall a simple yet elegant affair throughout the night. With my cousin's Jazz band performing in the background , added a touch of class with almost everyone dressed in suits . For the first time , I get to 'sembah' the Agung man . I know he's still human like all of us , but I've never 'sembah' an Agung before . So it was quite a memorable moment .

I think there were more than 20 Tan Sri's on the list based from the list , and other VIPs . For those who are into hot Mak Datins , well theres plenty to choose from . Those with more 'normal' tastes , there were the Mak Datins daughters . This was a formal wedding , which is the first time I see 3 different spoons and forks . Boy the meals made me full. I mean , the finale dessert was brownies and a vanila ice cream .. with nuts . For the first time , I couldn't finish a brownie .

I guess I was feeling a bit out of place . They all only know me by 'Emcee tu punya adik' , not my name . Obviously being the very rare 24 year olds in the family , you don't really get much attention . Not that I mind , but it can be a bit lonely when you're at weddings . Usual topic of conversation would be ' Sekarang belajar lagi ?' 'Oh kerja , kerja kat mana ?' 'Kenapa bila hujan Astro tak nampak? (this was the most famous question I get the entire night) ' bla bla ..

One of the highlights was when my Uncle Mus ( cousin's dad ) said one 'ayat power' during his speech - " I've been married for 69 years and I'll be 70 next year . Next year I would like to remarry my wife Sharifah ( my Dad's sister ) once again . " .... cue audience "Aww....." followed by applause . I mean , not only it was simple , from a straight guy's perspective , I think that line rocked ! Hit me right deep inside . Wish I could do that someday ...

The wedding ended with photo sessions on the pelamin and the usual rounds of 'Sekarang belajar lagi?' 'Oh kerja, kerja kat mana?' 'Kenapa ...' sigh you know la kan :P ..

A great wedding.
