Tum tum di tum
Weddings used to be all about getting dressed in uncomfortable outfits, tagging behind the parents, watching a ceremony which would seem incredibly long then going around listening to how big i've become or how much i look like my mom.
All that changed now that i'm attending weddings of my own friends. Yesterdays wedding showcased all of us - we each had our parts to play and we just partied harder at night. I learnt that even if you have a system, a printed floor plan, numbered tables and ushers telling you where to go, seating arrangements will never turn out as planned.
I wonder how this presentation with baby pictures of the couple started. Whats the significance of having right from sacharin sweet baby shots to embarassing pre puberty shots then breaking out into current day, then repeating the process for the respective other. I dont know, it just seems like a lot of work for something unrelated to the wedding process. But then, alot would argue that booze is unrelated to the matrimonial process as well but thats simply essential now isnt it! As far as entertainment value goes it does rank high,the presentation i mean, not the post booze kind - i suppose guests would get a kick out of the days when the groom was struggling with a fashion sense or at the bride as a baby lying on her tummy naked (neither of these shots appeared yesterday i'm just speaking generally). Gosh, if i do end up having one of those it will be purely out of family preassure - i can see people keeling in laughter already at the mop of curls which was my childhood hairstyle and the rolly polly dumpling i was in almost everything i wore. Then i will hope my significant other has more embarassing shots to difuse the attention on me. Only during the presentation of course, any other time of my wedding ALL ATTENTION MUST BE FOCUSED ON ME! ME! ME! I TELL YOU ME! NOBODY IS STEALING MY THUNDER!
*pant pant*
But there is a long time more to worry about all that. For now, i shall enjoy my friend's weddings and wish them the best in this instituition they call marriage and lots of children. Heh.

I've never agreed more with her than now! But at the same time it leaves me wondering...considering that im loosing hair and would prob be bald by the time i marry perhaps it wont be too bad an idea to have some of my "hair" day pics flashed...?
If we'r ever doing that then imana put the baby pic of her's thats on my table now.
Who am i kidding... Like imana have any say in any of these things. :P
Well said aji... you WON'T have a say in all these.
such is the fate of us men who choose to partake in holy matrimony and subject ourselves to one-gina syndrome. :p
Have fun!
