Weddings

I helped out in my cousin's wedding last Saturday. It's my 10th time helping out at a wedding and it's the only one where I'm the main coordinator for both day & night activities.

With each wedding I learn abit more and with this one, I learnt the most. Partly because I was involved right from the start. She asked me how should she start her planning process and I was there to discuss things with her and give her my two cents' worth. I drew up a list of things for her to think through and consider haha. But the smart-aleck in me scribbled it on 3 pages of paper and then passed it all to her. Now I don't have a copy of it. Bleah.

She did up her draft schedule and I was the one of the first few to see it, apart from herself, her parents and her husband. Pored over it and gave her my questions and more pointers lol.

A female colleague told me the other day. "Oh no, I've already been a bridesmaid and jiemei twice. I can only do it one more time, else I'll not be able to get married in the future!!"

Lol, and this came from a girl 5 years younger than I. I didn't know people still believed in these things. I told her I have another wedding to help out in at the end of the year, and that would be my 11th time. Her jaw dropped.

Ah weddings and marriages. Maybe I should quit my job and join a wedding planning agency. I could learn much more although my weekends would be burnt....
