Back in Spore since 2.5wks ago. The temperature (and humidity) change is stark. But so are the makan and social scenes - am not complaining about these though. =)
Finally, our traditional wedding ceremony was completed - all the nitty gritty of gown choosing, photo layout, emcee/bridesmaid/receptionist selection, the sensitive trivalities of who to place where during dinner, and when to do what during tea ceremony and in the morning when the groom comes over to fetch the bride... customary things that seem minor but are totally capable of causing tension and conflict in otherwise harmonious relationship(s)... are done with. Already, ours is a much toned-down and relatively fuss-free event, and already my husband has openly declared that he'd only get married once as he cannot fanthom being subjected to all these again.
To all married friends (and who have stayed married after going through these wedding prep), bravo for the sweat, time and patience you've put in. For those planning to get married, good luck and have fun (some parts of it are actually really quite fun and memorable if both of you take it in stride and in the right spirit e.g. pre-wedding shoot, food tasting, the groom taking down the zillions of pins stuck in the highly-sprayed hairdo of the bride at midnight....)
Cheers!
