The Wedding of the Year

I just forgot. On the 1st day, they gave us each a teddy. I got a brown and white one. Jess a pink and orange one. I like pink, i should get those, but since that's what they buy us, so i guess ok. Oh, Sop's one is a big dog. For being the 2nd in level. And my teddy, which i name Jon, is very sad looking. I guess that's because he will miss the Milan match on 5 Dec. Haha. So ya, why Jon you ask? That's because the poly guy name is Jon. Ok, that is not the real reason. It is because, Sop wrote us a short story each. And my character end up with her high school sweetheart but-never-been Jon. So ya, Jon is my teddy. Which will end up belong to Kelly.
Oh, btw, we cant really sleep at night coz everyone was doing their own Kbox stuff. And they made us go down and feed us porridge. We just had our dinner not long ago. Only a few hours there, and they already feed us non stop. It is way dangerous. For me that is. I need to lose weight.
So i woke up beside Jess. I slept with her. Sop sleep on the floor. Then we got dressed and stuff. Our breakfast was the one dollar 'subway'. Sop throw away the chili. She told us to throw away the yellow vegetable which is actually chili. But, Jess didn't see it and she just ate it. So ya. Spicy moment. Anyway, Sop wanted to wear her Friday the thirteen shirt, lucky we talk her out of it. The wedding ceremony was kind of formal. The guys are all in shirt and tie. I guessed i dressed the least formal, but i don't have any clothes.
Anyway, we got down, and they told us to stand on one straight line and stuff. Then, the groom side of the family came over. They walked in one by one. The whole thing kind of normal. So nothing big deal. Skip to the part where all the groom side people(all guys) carrying stuff to be pass on to us. So these guys, stood opposite us. Then, they handed us whatever they are holding. My God, mine is heavy like shit. I wonder what is in it. (we found out days later that it maybe fruits) Lucky Jess, she said hers is not heavy. So the guy, who is Cuong, asked me to switch with him. I was like what the heck, now then switch. He should earlier. Doesn't matter. Better late than never. So we switched, and his one is also heavy. I guessed after carrying a heavy weight for some times, you carry something lighter, but you will feel the weight of it. So we carried it all the way to the 3rd floor. Then we down again and wait.
Jessie was crying and she wanted to go in the house. But we made her stay. Then she stick to Jess like glue. But later on she moved to Sop. She ate the jelly provided on the table. But she only ate the top part. Coz the below is coffee flavored. Coz we all use toothpick to eat, which is really hard to take the jelly with. But Jessie managed to take it. And she was showing off. Then because she did that, when she tried to put it into her mouth, the jelly drop. She tried again. This time, she just put it in her mouth without showing us first. Well, that is the funny moment of the day.
We sat at the table with the guest from Singapore. Uncle Paul was there and telling all about Vietnam. The escargot, the egg which has the duckling inside. And his last time trip to Vietnam, how he got injured and the doctor had to stitch his leg up with the needle from the chicken essence bottle.
Finally, the bride and groom came out of the house. The bride looked so stunning. Anyway, we were once again busied with pictures taking and stuff. Finally, they went to the groom's house. We were stuck in the house doing nothing. In the end we decided to sleep. At around 4, we were done with our makeup and stuff. Turn out we need to get ready before 5 not 4. But hey, for once we are early. So ya, the lil kids want to put on makeup too. Jesey is one lucky girl. Sop did her dress, me did makeup, Jess did hair.
So we are done. We went down and waited outside. Sop's mom drop her earring and it broke. We took taxi and reached 'Happy Garden 2'. The place where the wedding took place. When we entered, the happy garden girls were lined up in wedding gown and greeting the guests. We gave the present to some receptionist people. We sat at some table, then they moved us. Pity the waiter there, coz he had took off the chopstick thing, the cover. Then he already add ice to our cup. But so we moved, to the female side of the guest and way more in front.
Our new waiter is a long lost twin of Leckzhi. He so totally look like Leckzhi. From the side. He stands like him. And he is as short as him. Then again, its just natural for Vietnam people to be short. Anyway, we were seated with Sop uncle and aunts and with Sop's youngest uncle's ex-gf. She was seated there and felt left out. Blame us for not speaking her language.
Through out the middle she cried and went home. The excuse was that her uncle was ignoring her. Well, the whole wedding was fun. There were singing performance from friends and family. We 3 just sat there and talk among ourselves and gossip bout 'Leckzhi'. Everything went well. When we go home that time, 3 guys talk to us. The bad news is we don't understand whatever they were saying. Man, language barrier sucks.
