Wedding Story
I've mentioned in my previous post that I will attend weddings (make that A LOT of weddings) during the holidays. Despite the heat and the rain, I managed to attend almost all except my cousin's and another colleague's because of date clashes.
I'll only blog about one tho' because I played a co-starring role. A role that I think many would be happy not to play i.e. the wedding emcee!!
Loviana asked me to emcee her wedding several months ago and I was so humbled that she entrusted me with the responsibility. It has been so long since I last hold the mic (and reporting during assembly does not count) and I felt a mixture of excitement and anxiety over the prospect. Just one thing tho', I have NEVER, EVER emceed a wedding. Not even the kampong2 ones!!!
So, I did a little Google research on how to emcee weddings. I studied Youtube videos on professional and amateur wedding emcees. Susah pula nie...uhuhuhuhuhu...that is my initial reaction. Not only I have to emcee the event, I am part event manager. I experienced that when I attended the rehearsal and during the actual day of the reception. To add to my nervousness, there were several guests of honor and our very own KK Mayor also attended the wedding. I felt nervous because I might turn the event into a perhimpunan sekolah :P
But, I think the event turn out well. I discarded my cards and just be myself. After all, this event is not about me, it is Loviana and Vers (or LoVers as the toastmaster quipped during the blessing) day. I learned something tho', always do research on the couple's love story.
All in all, I had fun that night. Thanks again, Lubi and Vers for trusting me to handle your reception. ^__^ May God bless your journey as husband and wife and may His love and peace be in your marriage, forever!
For you visual readers, here's a few piccies taken that night...
Me and my friends. Look how lovely the bride is!! ^__^
I was also the road/GPS operator that night. Tukang bagi directions even though my own sense of direction is moderately poor!!
That's us: TESLians of 2002. I do wish the rest could join us.
Me on stage...giving my best :-)
Me discussing with the manager/coordinator about the cake-cutting and yamseng ceremony.
Bah, I'm going to bercuti dari blogging juga until the school hols end. Mau berabis enjoy dulu ^__^
Bye!!
