Attended the biggest wedding event ever. 80 tables... reception was quite a challenge ha ha... It was a fun time of meeting cousins whom I've not met for ages. It's strange. Even though we've not seen each other in years, when we met, it was just like we've just met each other yesterday. There was no awkward silence or strange feelings. These are people whom I grew up with, then separated after grandma passed on. When we came back together again, it was like we took off from where we left. My nieces and nephews have all grown up - gosh... we're really getting too old.
Also met up with grandma's best friend. Haven't seen her in more than 10 years, since grandma departed. She's 92 this year and swims daily -WOW!! Talking to her brought tears to my eyes, thought of grandma. The strange thing is just about 2 nights ago, I actually dreamt of this particular friend of my grandma. Can't quite recall the contents of the dream, but I knew I dreamt of her. I didn't expect to see her at the wedding - amazing huh?
Once again, we suffered the repercussion of not inviting people to our wedding 4 years ago... old relatives of relatives... My mum was just telling me how she had actually lost some friends for not inviting them to our wedding. I myself, lost some, coz I didn't invite them. You see, our wedding was held at chijmes, really limited space. Had a lot of relatives. Ended up we only invited relatives and really close friends and collegues whom we meet everyday. Not that all the other friends were not important, just that there wasn't sufficient space. Over time, you realise those people whom you've not invited either feel offended or just decided to not respond to you... It's strange though, I'd thought they'd be thankful they don't have to spend a few hours at the dinner and spending more than a hundred per person... ha ha ha.. oh well... Life goes on.
