Wedding Day Arrives…

The next morning, i woke up early to get ready to get to Hons place to ensure make up and stying goes well. Hubbs get up to send me off but suddenly rushes out of the bathroom – stung by a bee on his big toe! Of all the things to happen! But manly, he did send me off first and returned.

Everything went smoothly at the wedding, and i was busy coordinating the whole photography stuff for the family and friends. I was soo tired that i really, wasn’t in the mood myself to be smiling and taking photos. But i did get one with the wedding couple at my fav old home, where the “fun” photos were taken.

In between, i learnt that florist friend’s fiance had taken hubbs to the nearest clinic to see to the toe and feet, which had swollen to double its size. Hubbs said he was really worried as it had also turned red. The doc took out the remnant of the bee sting and gave him some tablets to swallow. He’ll survive.

By the time i finally set down for lunch, i was too hot and tired. But i ate anyway.  Or rather, just sloshed down everything. Went back to the resort to rest. And just as i was about to doze off for a bit, the phone began to ring non-stop from people asking on wedding party set up. Dayem.

So off i drove to the party venue. Doing my rounds, seeing to the deco, making sure the set up with the banquet team was ok, the band had everything they needed … just generally sat there and made sure everything was up and running, going according to plan.

What i didnt plan was for the sudden shower that descended on everyone and everything! Although there were clouds, i was thinking cool happy thoughts, hoping that it wouldnt rain. But it did! Sigh… and the banquet guys ran helter skelter rushing to save the decorated tables. Thank goodness it didnt rain for long, but the damage was done.

The team had to run around and change the linen (where they could), re-wipe the cutlery, chairs, and my friend had to re- arrange the flowers on all the tables. Then, there was the drama of the guy selling apom that was going to arrive at 8pm, if i hadnt called and told him to get his ass over to the party for set up. And when he got there, the hotel people hadnt sorted out his table to do his cooking and stuff. Another round of semi chaos. Sorted.

After a while, everything was done. People were starting to arrive, even the bride and groom, and i was still in my bermudas and t-shirt. As soon as two others friends arrived, i got them to be in the charge of handing out the leis (which two of my friends and i did all 270 on our own!) to the guests, i rushed off  back to my room for a quick change and  back again. Man, i was seriously tired and dying for sleep.

By the time i’d gone back to the party, it was in full swing. Tiredness had given me no appetite at all. I couldnt walk properly, and was doing a slow shuffle everywhere, for a last minute round of checks. And that done, i just sat down with me hubbs and friends to enjoy the nite. We ate, we laughed, i was dying to dance to the good music but couldnt, so i just kept me self comfortable.

As the music started, and people started to dance, that was one of my most happiest moments cos i know that guests were really enjoying themselves. The toasts and speeches (which included thanking me for introducing the couple, and getting the party sorted) were done, and great. Music went on till late, and by then, i was just dying to rush home, shower and sleep. 

I did a quick round of good byes and thank yous, and ran off with me hubbs.  A quick shower, and i was dead to the world. The next morning, dragged self and hubbs out of bed for the drive back to KL, even before the sun rose. I had an office meeting to attend, at 10am on a Sunday! Dayem.

All in all, i was just so happy i was there to help me friend with her wedding and see through to it till the end. It was the least i could do. It was a great experience, drama and all… hhhhhmmmm whether i would like to make a living out of doing things like this, i doubt it. But if someone should holler for help, i would.

So there we have it… hons and isk are married. Yippeee!

hhhhhmmmmm… now i have to find time to send over their post-wedding present… havent give them their wedding gifts yet heeheehee …
