I went to 2 weddings on Saturday and another one on Sunday. Its that time of year I guess. I had so much things to say so I decided to post it in my blog that no one reads haha. Theyre quite random and quite opinionated. In no way I want to make the couple or their families feel bad or anything like that, its just some observations & pls buang yg keruh n ambil yg jernih.
THE FIRST WEDDING
* kenduri simple je, pengantin lelaki dtg takde kompang takde pa system, dh sampai dekat kanopi, pengantin perempuan dtg jumpa pastu masuk skali. Pelamin pun simple je.
* tp tu la pengantin lelaki terlalu selamba sampai boleh pegang hp masa dtg. Siap letak dlm poket atas lagi so nampak la. Masa photographer ambil gmbr, masuk skali hp tu. Mmg nk tunjuk hp kot aku tak tau la
* pengantin perempuan tiba2 hilang betul kan tudung katanya. Org nk bergambar dgn pengantin tunggu lama.
* pelamin dia simple sgt sampai aku ingat tu photobooth. Siap letak anak2 aku kt kerusi tu sorg satu haha omg malunya. Wife aku prasan ayah pengantin jeling2 je kt ktorg sory pakcik kami tak tahu. Pelamin tu simple tapi cantik. Aku mmg rasa photobooth tu terlalu cantik tp tak sangka la tu pelamin sbb kerusi dia jarak2 n angulated at a weird angle. Cz some weddings takde pelamin n ada meja makan yg cantik je.
* paling benci org yg nak jumpa or bergambar dgn pengantin tp potong queue. Ni slalunya org tua la, or org yg ada authority kononnya mcm yb, dato n ex cikgu. Dia tak peduli dh ada org tunggu sambil dukung baby ke apa
* mulanya aku nk buat statement mcm biarla org yg ada baby yg bergambar dulu sbb baby ni ticking time bomb taktau bila dia berubah mood n mengamuk nangis2. But then nnt semua org yg ada baby sesuka hati potong queue, so takpelah sila abaikan
THE SECOND WEDDING
*pengantin lelaki tu wedding planner so kau mungkin expect mcm grand gile kan, tp sbnrnya tak sgt. Tp dia mmg fokus on quality n variety of food la. Some parts of the dewan mmg mcm awesome tp some mcm underwhelming. Mcm kambing bakar ayam panggang mash potato pny station tu, lambak dlm tray mcm tu je takde deco takde apa. I guess bila kau outsource semua benda kau x boleh nk expect semua nya buat deco cantik2. Tapi makanan SEMUA sedap2 so who cares abt the deco
*org melayu mmg pantang tgk kambing, n tak sabar2. Tgh aku duk pegang senduk n ambil, pakcik tu punyalah tak sabar sampai dia sanggup ambil senduk mushroom soup utk ambil kambing. Pastu mushroom soup tu takde senduk. Penuh lg kot tray kambing tu masa aku tgh ambil, tak payah la nk tunjuk perangai buruk awak tu pakcik
*pengantin semua dpt Tunnel Vision hari kahwin tu. Yg dorg perasan hanyalah photographer, n hanya dgr suara arahan photgrapher. N bila para jemputan nk tgk pengantin or nak tunjuk muka, kalau dah depan mata pun dh tak nampak. Gone are the days raja n permaisuri sehari boleh melihat tetamu n rakyat jelata
*one thing I observe about wedding photographers, some of them think its THEIR WEDDING. Aku faham la pengantin nk abadikan memori perkahwinan, but to what expense and to what extent? Pengantin mmg focus n ikut semua perintah photographer. Photographer lah sbnrnya Raja Sehari tu, n event ikut susun atur photographer. Photographer mmg akan adaaaa je kat situ n org lain yg nak ambil gmbr pegantin mmg trpaksa ambil gmbr bontot photographer skali. N most photographer akan pakai shirt n jeans je pun n kdg tu kontra gila dgn tema wedding so dorg lagi stand out dari pasangan pegantin. Ok enough heat for wedding photographers, i knw theyre just doing their job, but I cant help to think that they steal the show and the newlyweds too!
*Most weddings are not wheelchair or stroller friendly. Ssh ktorg hari tu nk bwk nafis in his stroller, tp boleh lagi nak angkat, tp kalau wheelchair? Hmmm
THE THIRD WEDDING
* starting je dah cringe. Pengantin both dah ready kt depan dewan nak masuk, tp kereta2 org rombongan baru sampai n ofcourse, PARKING TAKDE. Pengantin laki yg trpksa jd parking attendant suruh rombongan park kt belakang. Lain kali kena plan betul2 mcm reserve kan parking or at least minta org drop off
* I applaud the wedding sbb masa pengantin dtg ada org baca selawat, bagus sgt. Tapi yg baca tu a frail old man, tercungap2 dia, aku risau n kesian pun ada. So makin hujung makin tak sedap n sangkut2, tp pakcik tu push himself jgk. Papepun good job pakcik. Maybe tu saudara terdekat n dia mmg NAK buat. But still, a recording would suffice. N if nk live pun, minta la budak2 or a younger person to do it
* Ok ni yg paling cringe sekali. The reason aku post psl ni. Lepas pengantin naik ke pelamin, rombongan lelaki nk duduk la kt meja makan rombongan. Tp TAKDE ORG GUIDE or usher dorg ke meja. Dorg trpksa figure out sendiri. Confusing sikit utk dorg sbb dorg ramai tp meja mcm ada 2 je. N ada satu meja tu nmpk mcm utk rombongan lelaki tp ada satu makcik ni dgn anak2 dia. Dari yg remaja sampai yg kecil2. Aku serius tak rasa dia part of the rombongan, sbb org rombongan tak tegur pun dia so aku tak faham kenapa dia duduk situ. [double cringe] Nwy, sbb tak cukup tmpt duduk, yg remaja n budak2 semua makan kt tmpt biasa. But thts normal la, aku pun pernah ikut rombongan tp makan tmpt biasa. But the fact is takde org blah bride yg jd usher yh tolong tgkkan rombongan lelaki. At least lantik la seorang. Any uncle or saudara will do, so takdela rombongan lelaki terpinga2 blur dulu mencari tempat n then layan diri je. N boleh la nak elakkan random makcik n anak2 dia dari invade meja rombongan. Makcik tu pun entiti pelik aku serius tak faham
THE END
Sorry for the long post basically abt me ranting abt weddings. I just had to put my frustrations somewhere. Especially the cringe ones. Alas, weddings are a happy event and I wish the couples selamat pengantin baru, moga bahagia ke anak cucu
