A few days to THE WEDDING

My good friend (the bride) is getting married this weekend & it is indeed, a very happy occasion.

Alas, I've not found a pair of shoes to go with my dress that I bought especially to attend the wedding. There is the dream 'whole package of shoes, dress & handbag' to this lovely wedding. It is terrible, isn't it? Of course, I won't dress like I'm going to upstage her on her BIG DAY. Don't worry, my friend (if she's reading this).

I've not forgotten about make-up. All will be revealed in good time.

Lucky for me, the "stress" that I'm facing is minor, as compared to the stress that I imagine the bride must be feeling. I mean, yeah, you can say that the bride should have picked up tips from bridal/wedding magazines and/or people who have "marriage experience" (that could be friends who got married first).

Nevertheless, she would still be stressed but from what I could talk to her about during the few months leading up to the upcomind celebration, she certainly does not seem stressed too much. I wonder what is her secret? I must pick up tips from her to de-stress, which can be harnessed to good use for things like work.

More importantly, the bride has allowed me to blog about her wedding, minus photos. Do not worry, dear gal. The only type of fotos I like on my blog is on FOOD but it won't be the goodies we consume at your wedding.

There will be one more update prior to the VIP event taking place this weekend. This is due to the fact that I'll staying over on Friday night at the bride's (how do I say this properly in English without sounding funny) Mother House. In Mandarin, it sounds like this: Niang Jia (Mother House).

Hopefully by that time, we can all (the bride, me & other galpals) have a pre-wedding bridal chat, to replace the bridal shower/hen night. Hey, afterall, this is the "21st century". Ought not that there be a wee bit tweak in such traditions, provided they are positive fun, with plenty of ease for the bride.

CHEERS to your wedding, my good friend.
