Of weddings and happiness...

Insert: Wedding Dress [by Taeyang]

Recently, I've been reading about people getting married, and how happy those that attended their wedding party are affected by their happiness. But me, having gone for N times of weddings in my family, I don't get the vibes at all. I'm curious, why are they able to feel the happiness of the wedding couple, but I don't at all?

The reason, is very simple.

And they're ALL the same.

The wedding is simply another event for their fathers, my father, or my uncle, to socialize with OTHER people. It's more like a treat to them and drag them to this side instead of actually having fun and sorts of stuffs. Most importantly, is that they invited loads of unwanted guests... in my opinion. They cause troubles, and things were not planned good enough.

Yes. The wedding couples are the one who planned them, of course.

That's why they get headaches every time they're getting married.

And the reason why I don't get the vibes of happiness, because they're not happy at all.

===

For both times of my siblings' (my elder brother and my elder sister) wedding, they consist of:

My family (duh)
The other side's family (duh much)
ALL relatives. (Note: ALLLLLL relatives. Including those unwanted relatives.)
A lil' part of my mom's friends. (Just a little. Acceptable.)
MOST of my father's friends and subordinates. (Most? 'ello, who's getting married now?)
Most of the wedding couple's friends (That is a must. Acceptable.)
The other side family's friends. No subordinates. (They're obviously fewer than my father's side.)

Did you get the headache already? I do.

For most of the people in the list, they're not going there because of the new couple, but to talk and drink with my FATHER. What the heck? And my relatives? They're just caring their own prides and faces, that's why they showed up. If we don't invite them, they will feel that they don't have prides and faces as well. So how? They're not willing to come, yet they want us to invite them. Ugh!

===

So, what do we do there?

In a wedding, of course there's alcohols. I mean, that's a must, right?

But then, there's a problem...

There's 3 types of alcohols for both wedding party: Normal beer (normally Calsberg), red wine (some brought their own for no reason), and XO... something (I think it's whiskey, or some certain wine. *shrugs*)

So. Not everyone gets to drink red wine and XO. Meaning, those that have not good connection with us, can't drink them. Of course, you must let the higher ranks to drink. But then... there's also some "low-classed-people-who-thought-they're-high-class-people" drinks too, just because of some connection between them and my father. And those who drank red wine and XO, certainly doesn't know how to appreciate them! Do you know how they drink those expensive stuffs?

ONE GULP.

YAMSHENG.

Congratulations. You have just WASTED the freaking expensive liquor in your hand, and... WHAT?! YOU WANT MORE?!

Literally, MOST of them who drinks get drunk by the end of the party. It's not like there's no drunkens in a party, but... causing troubles during their drunk, is a very bad thing. And, hey, it's people's wedding, this is not a bar. Don't go drink and start to whine about your silly stuff, bringing down the mood of the wedding.

My family won't get drunk, why? Because they need to handle these troubles, which is so stupid. And Chinese tradition is even more stupid, especially in my family. They invited about 100 tables of guests... woah, you must think it's grandious. I'd say it's fueling up the flares of the name "Trouble". So, they give angpau. But who's the one's taking care of the angpau? Only 2 people, and they're somehow being locked up in some certain room just to COUNT the angpau, and to tick whoever in the list have given, or not. Oh, and they hardly ate during the whole event, by the way. They even need people to send foods in. On earth?!

Seriously, stupid, right?

If you were to think of getting married, and celebrate it, and invite people out from your whole-heartedly, would you even bother about some little angpau and whether they're able to give back the amount of the event?!

Oh, my, gosh. *facepalm*

This is why I said that the wedding couples aren't happy.

They're too busy thinking so many useless stuffs.

Many thanks to my father's social status. *rollseyes*

===

Thank god, my dad is less in socializing right now, and he can't really drink much with those pig friends of his anymore. And... I might not getting married since I don't think I can ever find one that matches me, or the one that likes me. *shrugs*

BUT!

If I were to get married.......



Firstly, cut down ALL THOSE unwanted guests. Namely: My not-so-close relatives (Ugh. I'm not even close to them, neither they completely approve our family's actions), my dad's pig friends (*rollseyes*), the strangers--- I mean, subordinates of my father (seriously, who are they?).

I shall invite: My loyal so-called butler/assistant/CHEF/the-one-who-owes-me-loads-of-money, MY BEST MACHAS (if they can come), some of my closer cosplay friends (*nodsnods*), my family... or maybe not (depends if they approve this wedding), and finally... Whoever my partner wants to invite.

Though I didn't want to spoil/break the tradition of the Chinese people/my family, but everything depends on whether my partner wants it to be simple, or grand. If it's simple, the tradition of the bride going out from the mother's house blah-blah-blah thingy can be cut off. Well, if my family doesn't approve this wedding, no point of having that anyway. Or maybe I can make it in one of my friend's house. *pause* Maybe.

The outfits? I certainly approve any sorts of outfits as long as it's not 18SX. I might even let zombies and vampires in - namely "cosplay". If I decided to make my wedding date during the Halloween's Eve, everyone should cosplay into this wedding... a lil' bit outrageous though. Of course, if cosplay is not allowed (perhaps because of my partner), then I shall leave the grand outfits in the hand of...... wait. I haven't think of it yet. AHHHHHH~~~ Oh well, it's not now anyway.

The foods part? I'll leave it to mister Chef over here (if he ever reads this blog), because I believe that he can make foods that satisfy EVERYONE's tongue buds.

The location? Actually, anywhere would be fine, as long as everyone's having fun. But of course, hygienic is important.

The games? Wait. We'll actually have games?! Nonononono. That's not a really good option. *cuts it off*

Drinks? Obviously, ALCOHOL!!! And of course, EVERYONE in this place can drink them! Even those under-aged people... Unless s/he is 3 years old and below, then no. And so, there's also some fruit juices like orange juice and apple juice around there... or perhaps I shall come up with some exotic fruits juices. *evil smirk* Relax, they're edible. If they dislike the sweetness, then... green tea? Oh, last but not least, my all-time favorite drink - PLAIN WATER. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--- *cough* Sorry.

Angpau? Not necessary, though I don't mind receiving it. But seriously, it's going to be quite a small party, so the usage of money wasn't that much... compare to my siblings....... I think.

But most of all, everyone, those that come to this wedding party.

EVERY.

SINGLE.

ONE.



MUST!!!





HAVE FUN!
