Wedding pet peeves

There has been many weddings that one has to attend as of late, as it seems that more and more people, including yours truly, have found their life partner and decided that they want to tie themselves down spend the rest of their lives together. Having gone through all these weddings, it just occurred to me that in almost everyone of them, there would be similar "occurrences" that would happen again and again that would leave me feeling slightly irritable. Therefore, i have decided make a list of all these pet peeves that have been bothering me.


Wedding pet peeves #no1:
Karaoke during dinner.
Whoever came up with the idea that karaoke during the chinese dinner would be entertaining must really be shot. Seriously, no one wants to heard an out-of-tune rendition of "friends forever" in mandarin no matter how long it took you to practice in the shower. Children must also be kept as far away from the mike as possible because there is only one thing worse than an out-of-tune love song, is an out-of-tune SCreeching love song.


Wedding pet peeves #no2:
Seeing someone else (other than the bride) wearing white.
I actually went to this wedding recently and thought that the bridesmaid was the bride because not only was she wearing white, her hair and makeup was done is such a fashion that no one would have thought that she was just a bridesmaid. The only thing that differentiated the actual bride from the bridesmaid was her veil. I have also seen a mother of the bride unwittingly wore white to her daughter/son's wedding dinner and was ridiculed and scorned (behind her back) by other guest.


Wedding pet peeves #no3:
Having people say to "you look just like a bride" when you clear aren't.
Imagine this, you receive an invitation to attend the wedding of your best friend/close relative/childhood friend. You get quite excited cuz you have been anticipating this wedding for a pretty long time. So you rummage through your wardrobe and pick out one of your summer dresses and match it with a similar colored sandals. You walk into the reception feeling quite happy with yourself. And then guess what, someone comes up to you and say, "wow you look really nice! You look just like a Bride"
RRRiiiiight. Look, if i wanted to look like a Bride i would have worn white! (see wedding pet peeves #no2). I mean i know that you meant to compliment me, but there are many other ways to do so. And saying "you look just like the bride" isn;t one of them.


Wedding pet peeves #no4:
Inappropriately dressed wedding guest.
I just do not understand how can someone come to a wedding dressed in skinny jeans and skanky mini tank top and not think that there is anything remotely wrong in it. Whats more, in the recent wedding that i attended, that someone was actually sitting in the table of honor! She even had the nerve to stare at me like i was trying too hard in my sundress. Hel-lo.


Wedding pet peeves #no5:
Unruly children.
It is really in my opinion that parents with uncontrollable children should either leave their children at home, spank them to submission or stay at home themselves if the first two cannot be accomplished.

New Beginnings

Hi all! I have finally arrived in blog land!! It wasn't an easy journey. There was alot of skepticism, self doubt and procrastination. But i have made it!
A little introduction of myself to those who don't know much about me or have forgotten that i exist. hehe
My name is Chye Hoong. it means....and you guessed it....rainbow in Chinese.
I'm 22 this year and have recently gotten engaged to my long-time lover/boyfriend. Okay it wasn't exactly recent. it was almost 2 years ago. And since then we've already gotten registered. And currently we're planning for our wedding and 3 dinners.
Things are pretty hectic here for me as of late. I'm current working for James's dads Business solutions company, planning this garden-ish wedding of ours plus the dinnerS (notice the capital S), and sourcing furniture and fitting for our new nest. Luckily James is there with me every step of the way. He is constantly surprising me with his growing patience to my decorating/shopping for bridesmaids dress/cake making etc indecisions.
Well, thats the life for me right now. Its Hectic but exciting. I'll shamefully admit that I'm more excited about getting our own place than the wedding itself. *insert guilty face here*
Okay thats all i have to say for today. So tata for now.
