A Return to the Past
Well let’s give you a recap of the first wedding I had to attend this season.
First,it was a Catholic wedding held in a church with no AC. About 1-1/2 long ceremony while he whole bridal party had rushed down the aisle. Made taking pictures a bit hard. The little ring bearer was so cute. He rushed down the aisle and when he was close to the papprazzi Asians, including me. He rushed down the aisle with a pillow in his face. Guess he’s a bit camera shy. While the flower girl took her time while she savored every minute down the aisle.
The ceremony was very different then the non-denomination ceremonies I’ve been to in the past. We got up and sat down at least 10 times during the ceremony. In the end, it was pretty nice ceremony that ended with a stream of bubbles.
The reception is what I dread the most. It’s a scene out of Joy Luck Club. Ran into a lot of folks. There were a few folks who said it was was very nice to see me again, but I don’t remember their names. God darn it! Where were the name tags when you needed them.
A lot has changed. When our only concern was sneaking food out of the cafeteria to stir fry in our room. To my friend sneaking her beagle into her dorm room for a whole year. Now they’re just concern about keeping track of the kids running around the reception. Most of my friends were either married with ball in chain. Some had kids while others were expecting. Surprisingly, a few of my classmates are now teachers. There much to chuckle about the past.So much has changed in 10 years.
