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.

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:
