Together with the rest of Etonhouse (Vanda)'s staff, Angeline attended Priya and Nathan's solemnisation cum dinner at Fort Canning Gallery and Foyer. Since it started in 2001, Etonhouse (Vanda) has never employed any male teachers up to date. Just in case you are still wondering, the bride is Angeline's friend cum ex-colleague from Etonhouse (Vanda). Just in case you still wondering, the bride is Priya. If you are still wondering, please close this window. Oh well!
Angeline was all dolled up, ready to set off and reach the wedding venue, looking her very best. Due to the (damn) heavy evening traffic, poor directions of Fort Canning Carpark, confusing signage at Fort Canning and Angeline's bad sense of direction, Angeline arrived late. Fortunately, Angeline has Lissa to guide her the way and Shu Ping to join her in coming late. Heh!
Angeline waited for another 45 minutes before the solemnisation started and waited for 15 minutes before dinner was served. As it was Angeline's first time attending an Indian wedding, Angeline was bubbling with excitment and couldn't wait for it to start, thus the 1 hour was virturally a 2 hour wait for Angeline. Luckily, Angeline got extremely obliging ex-colleauges to cam-whore with her as a form of entertainment.
Unlike Chinese wedding where the DJ will play a super romantic (not forgetting emotional) song to announce the walk-in of the bride and the groom, the MC at Priya's wedding was the one who announced the walk-in. Quickly (and thankfully), the solemnisation was next on the agenda. Angeline thought that it was rather amusing for the Justic of Peace to ask if the bride and the groom were present at their free will. Angeline has always presumed that this is the 21st century and that question seems redundant. Angeline is not being rude here, if you like, ignorant is a much more appreciate choice of word to describe Angeline. Angeline guesses that this is the standard procedure and every married couple has been through it.
After the solemnisation, the MC announced, "Dinner will be served and you are invited to get your dinner at the buffet table located at the foyer." As Angeline and her friends were seated next to the entrance to the foyer, they were one of the first to get into the queue for the buffet diner. Angeline shall reinforce that they are not being 'kiasu'.
Looking at the programme line-up, there is a 'Kick Off Your Boot' item. Angeline didn't have the chance to kick off her boot and she has to leave for her movie date with Ck. Just before she was making her exit, the DJ has to play 'Heaven is a Place on Earth', Angeline wondered if the DJ was trying to tempt her with her favourite retro song. Oh well!
Warmest Congratulations to Priya and Nathan from Angeline!
P/S: Ms Shu Ping, when is your turn?
P/P/S: Ms Lissa, when is yours?
