first henry parker wedding
i meet up with this group of lovely ladies only once a year, it's our tradition to exchange gifts every christmas and we've been doing so since we were 12! each year when we meet up, we'll catch up on the old times and very importantly (and excitedly), update each other our dating status... it'll usually goes like this "hey, are you still with XXX, that guy you met at YYY/the guy who flew you overseas for your birthday/the guy whom you spoke on the phone with last year?". as years go by, things started to stablise somewhat, and we started discussing about wedding dates, favourite wedding venues, etc. and finally it was zer's wedding last night - the first among us!
it was a grand affair with a total of 80 tables - it's crazy since the hubby's a canadian-born chinese and they already had an earlier wedding in toronto, it's the first wedding i had to stand in a long queue to register at the reception, and to queue yet again to say good-bye. and it's also the first wedding i hear both dads speaking, it's funny how zer's dad described alan - "...not bad, just as tall as i am, but half as good-looking. i knew he was the guy, because he loves his rice as much as i do, and... he loves zerlina as much as i do". ahhhh, incredibly touching. this sweet friend of mine will be flying off to boston on monday, but she'd be back for christmas as usual... apparently her pre-booked flight shows she'd be back on our wedding day itself but she promised to try to get in one day earlier. yay. :-)
