Weddings galore!

Weddings weddings weddings! V and I have 7 weddings to attend in the next 5-6 weeks. Most of them are our UCL friends and some others include colleagues and an uncle! Yes, my uncle is getting married! A widower, he lost his wife 4 years ago to cancer and now is remarrying. How sweet! Makes me have hope that love can be found at any age.

It’s almost been a year since our wedding and I have to say, it’s been G-R-E-A-T! A fantastic learning journey so far, and am looking forward to the rest of the time we have together. Many people view weddings as romantic things. Some part of it is romantic, when the couple reveal how they met and how they fell in love and stare dreamily into each others’ eyes, but a lot of practical things are going on in the background just to make sure they can stare dreamily without having to worry about where the ang pow box is, whether the guests are enjoying the food etc etc. Many people have to be thanked for it to be a success. And I have to say, that ours was. When I look back at the photos, we have so many people to thank. It all ran so smoothly and best of all, the food was great. For a foodie like me, food is seriously important. So much so that when we went for food tasting, we spoke to the chef to give him direct feedback. He did a great job for the wedding, with feedback that the food was yum! By the way, it was at the Hotel Intercontinental, next to Bugis Junction. Many people did not know it was a 5 star hotel. But it is, in its own humble way. A peranakan hotel, it has a quiet charm to it, far different from the Ritz Carltons and the Four Seasons. Doesn’t mean it’s a whole lot cheaper. Even the suite was so cosy! Just like being at home, only you don’t have to clean up after! J

V has some friends coming over to our place today, so I’ve just finished sweeping and mopping the house and am waiting for the floor to dry before I tidy up the bedroom. Seriously, I’m such a slacker when it comes to housework. I can procrastinate till no end.

Anyway, V’s almost back so it’s time to go prepare lunch. I swear, I’m turning into a complete housewife!
