After having lots of fun at my cousin’s hens’ parties, the bridesmaids still had lots of fun carrying out the wedding games that they had prepared earlier on.

The inital scheduled timing for the groom to reached was at 7am. However, they didn’t reach till 7.15am. It was expected.

I did the same for my wedding. My brothers and I loitered at the void deck for 10 minutes before calling the bridesmaids that we had reached.

It was common sense to do it for most weddings. Most grooms would choose to be late rather than on time to give as little time for the wedding games as possible.

Even married couples had advised us to do that. So it was not unusual that the groom was late for my cousin’s wedding.

Back at my cousin’s home, the groom called only after 7 or I think it was the other way. The bride called the groom to ask him where he was.

She told the bridesmaids that the groom’s party was late and the bridesmaids added more weird stuff for them as a form of punishment.

Finally soon after, the groom arrived with his gung-ho brothers and he had to read out the rules to the games. (I posted some of the rules in the “wedding games” post)

I was stuck outside the door with the groomsmen as I had to take picture when the groom got off his bridal car.

I remember the wedding games for me during my wedding. There were different types of food that resembles the 4 aspects of a marriage life – sourness, sweetness, bitterness and spiciness.

I remembered my wife’s bridesmaids prepared a breakfast for me and my groomsmen – sugarcane, dark chocolate, lime and small chili. It was really a memorable breakfast for us.

As much as we dislike the games we had, we still had to go through time, especially for me. I even remembered pole-dancing and one of my groomsmen acted as a pole.

How embarrasing! It was funny when I look back now.

My cousin’s fiance was not that lucky and so were the groomsmen who tagged along.

Last Sunday was her wedding and I reached her house at 6.30am.

Her sisters (bridesmaids) were already there preparing breakfast for the groom and his envoy.

Let me tell you the menu for each person:
1. One cup of lychee drink mixed with concentrated lime juice
2. One hamburger with chilli padi mixed with microwaved crickets and maggots
3. One slice of lime

I had 2 incredible weddings in a roll for the past two days.

One of them was my neighbour’s and the other was my beloved cousin’s.

It was fun and very tiring in fact as I had to work in the morning till evening and had to rush home to get myself prepared for the wedding dinner on last Saturday. I only managed to catch a 45 minutes nap.

Somehow, I have yet to recover from the oversea travelling fatigue and I am still really tired, physically and emotionally.

I just feel drained.

However, I still dragged myself to attend both weddings as both were relaly significant for me.

Let me tell you more about the first wedding – my neighbour’s.

The bridal car with its envoy of the brother’s cars came at about 7am. The loud series of horn blasts woke the whole neighbourhood up. The horn was to signify the coming of the groom to fetch the bride and it somehow started the day with a “bang!”

The wedding games by the bridesmaids were simpler compared to mine. They just had a game of passing the rubber using straws and had to be done using the groomsmen’s mouths, guessing from a paper of full of kisses and signatures which of those belong to his wife.

Later, was the declaration of love by the groom and he had to read a signed contract done by the bride.

Some of the non-negotiable terms are:
