14:00 - My Bro's Wedding
I have been with Kenny for so long, from schoolgirl skirt chasing days to hougang mall hangouts to pasir ris park bbqs, now that seeing your childhood friend of over 10 years tying the knot feels so incredible and precious. however, that does remind you that time is really running fast away.
Anyway, it was my first experience being one of the brothers. having two sisters experience under my baby's (wylyn- who else..) belt, she told me that it is not an easy feat, where you can go like- cheah, chicken feet or na na bo bo. truth be said- she is right. I melted into bed once I got home after the day's programmes- getting up at 4, moving out to gatecrash at 5.20, racing around the island for tea ceremonies and assisting in the dinner arrangements and worst- getting aunties and uncles to stop eating/drinking/gossiping and prepare for the photo taking with the bride and groom (gasp!).
The morning gate crashing was thankfully not as difficult as the one's I have heard from other friends. Lucky for him, he just had to dance chicken little and Cai Yi Ling, make an "I love you" out of bread, drink milk from baby's bottle and involve us by drawing our lips with thick red lipsticks and push ups. And there is of cos the mandatory singing and creativity element. ma-jiam like starsearch like that.
When Kenny won the sisters after all the test of his love and sincerity, the heart stopping moment came- when he swings open her bedroom door and lifts the bride's veil for a kiss. Way to go bro!
The brothers basically tagged along everywhere and supported Kenny like bodyguards, maids and managers. we also provided him with good quality tissues for him to constantly wipe his perspirations off- he is (by nature) a walking and living ice-cream.
In the night- the dinner event, they did the walk in and solemnisation ceremony in the witness of all the guest. I could see my big bro blush and quivering with happiness as he recites his vows to the bride. what a romantic and timeless moment! There was also a delightful surprise when the screen played a 5 mins flash cartoon of how they meet- through a neutral friend, their first phone conversation that led to many others and their progression of love. that is prepared by the bride! and we didn’t know Kenny had so many tricks up his sleeves- that guy.
and so the dinner went without hiccups, and we yum senged till hoarse to officially declared him a family man.
To my bro Kenny and Xiu Feng- I wish you both a loving and blessed life together as one. Wish you both “ai ai ai bu wan”- aaron kwok style.
