Received an sms from an ex-colleague yesterday afternoon.
An sms to apologise for not inviting me to his engagement the day before. According to him it was supposedly a small family affair that grew bigger than expected. He promised to include me in his wedding when it takes place in the future..hehe..
In my reply, I congratulated him and wished him all the best for the impending wedding in 2010.
However, on the topic of wedding, i read a very interesting and rather amusing article in the papers yesterday by TCW. The writer wrote that weddings have become a competitive sport now. He have gone to a couple of weddings, especially this being the year-end wedding session, and observed that one needs to be more special that the last. He concured that its only natural for couples to outdo others at the altar coz its a big day and nobody wants to have "just another wedding".
So he has decided, by the time it is his turn, he will do something that no one else has done before. He would have to eat fire on stage- make it eat fire on stage while rollerblading- then throw knives at his wife, who will catch them with her mouth. And since he has already put so much effort, he might as well train polar bear to be the ring bearer....HAHAHA..funny guy!
Somewhere down the road-he concluded in his article-he can imagine this conversation taking place with his significant other.
He: Why dont we fake a walk-in with music and smoke, but then burst out of a wedding cake. Fiancee: I heard a friend of Jane's has already done that. He: How about we step into a box and appear on stage the next second. Fiance:Oh, John & Michelle did that at their wedding. He sawed her in half and put her back. He: Okay! Why dont we call off the wedding? Fianee: I dont mind, but Paul and Peggy have already cancelled theirs 1st.
Well, one thing im sure is my friend who sms-ed me would definitely have a simple wedding. All the best to him.
