yes yes, blog has not been updated regularly.
but, To complete quite an exciting day.
helped out the whole day at gwen's wedding, being part of the "sisters" gang. it was really intersesting, considering that it is my very first wedding to play an more active part, other than the usual sit in for dinner thingy only.
- was very present to the fact that make-up is such a CHORE. the putting on part was fun, and there's like a wealth of knowledge in terms of applying. it's like painting on the face, creating artistic value. BUT BUT BUT, removal is so troublesome. i had only some very light foundation on, but i was cursing and swearing to the no end about removal. i guess i gain some insight to ladies whom have put on make-up, the trouble behind it, the hassle, the problems. it is really quite a hassle.
- had a great time being part of the sister entourage. the sisters themselves were very funny, and though i did not see the games they forced the brothers gang to play, but from the incessant noise and screams and troubles created outside, i say the guys performed rather valiantly to conqueor the 5 different stages and etc. though i must say, the brothers gang were pretty sly, giving so much coins just to increase the weight.
i must also say the sister entourage was excellent, each one contributing to ensure the bride was well-taken care of. rotating duties, singing songs, setting the traps, etc. i admit not being present for the planning sessions, but being there on the day itself hopefully made up for it. it was also nice chatting with the sisters entourage, and they all woefully over-estimated my age :(
but ah well, it's not the first time, and it won't be the last
- food was excellent! especially at the wedding dinner. had double share of food, cos i was shuttling between the sisters table and the toastmasters table. i enjoyed the fried prawns the best. i could taste the fresh-ness within, not to mention that it was really succulent. all the dishes were made with much intention, and i could feel it from the chef. from the manner of presentation to the mixing of food, the order, etc. i thought it was really nicely plan. though the fact that there was no white wine to start the dinner kinda made it not that good, but the red was of a decent quality as well.,
- got a clear insight to the procedure of a wedding. the flow of events, the level of planning required, the intricacy of execution and the amount of manpower needed. i was chatting with the photographer, and he was sharing some insights about weddings, not just from the photography angle but the procedure angle as well. he had quite some experience, i must say. he seems pretty acconmplished and always have witty comments to please the pple being photographed.
to sum it up, being part of the sisters entourage, i think i gained a pretty unique and different point of view of things. especially since i was considered the "maid of honour", though it got pretty unsightly when i was attempting to carry the gown train. but nevertheless, it was enjoyable and i appreciated being given the chance :)
not only to participate, but also to enjoy :)
other than a few other minor things, i guess this completes the wedding activities :)
