Robin's Wedding - 11th Oct 2008
Venue: Raffles Town Club
Cocktail: 7pm
Solemnization & Dinner: 8pm
Robin is Hubby's TMC classmate when he was studying for his diploma. Have met up with him and Levin (another classmate) before when we just started dating. Although we have probably met less than 5 times through out the past 6yrs, but in a way I suppose they are special friends to Hubby. These guys who hanged out together after school for drinks at Buzz (coincidentally I used to go Buzz too) etc and who have funny stories to share.
Robin's wife looks sweet and cute and I love one of his wife's gowns in the photoshoot, haha. It was a white tube dress with black floral designs, something similar which I have too, lol. It was so sweet seeing them together and I kindda felt bittersweet as well. Sweet because seeing a couple getting married and looking so blissful like they're at the top of the world, bitter because I wonder when it will ever be my turn?
When they were taking their vows, some emotions stirred up in me and I could feel tears in my eyes which I managed to hold back. I am not especially close to them but it was just so heartwarming to see 2 persons deeply in love being united with so many people witnessing you and your partner become man & wife. I wish and hope, someday when its finally my day, My loved ones and friends will feel the same as what I felt today.
After the 2nd march-in, they had the usual popping of champagne, yum seng and wedding speech. Robin made his in English and his wife in Mandarin. Then.... Surprise! Robin said that he has a surprise for his wife which only he and his few friends know of... He was going to sing her a song! Omg omg omg!!! So sweet loh! Though it was a bit out of tune & rhythm and he couldn't really remember the lyrics (btw he sang that famous "wedding song" by Nat King Cole, you all should know lah), but the gesture was more than good enough. I was tugging Hubby's arm and saying, I want I want I want next time... Know what Hubby replied? Like that no surprise liao next time, so in order to create the surprise... You sing to me ok?
KNS... Always like that... Can make the most romantic moment into a sianz moment. I know its his nature and he loves to joke, but sometimes at moments like this, it makes me feel that I am not worth the effort for him to do these kindda things and it hurts badly, very badly... He probably doesn't know that when this kind of situation happens, many times I have held back my tears or cry to sleep at night in my bed. Especially today, he joked about having a void deck wedding again which is not the first time and which still stings.
I have always joked with him telling him that I want a super romantic, touching proposal and best is in front of my/our friends, lol. Because he always like to bully my/our friends especially my gal friends, must make him malu, haha. But think think, he has a love/hate relationship with my gal friends cos they need his help when their PC are faulty and he always has the ability to suan my gal friends. So I think they won't let him off easily in future, he better watch out, hehe.
Ok, digress too much liao, back to the topic. We did some catching up with Levin & Marie (Levin's wife) and turns out that we know someone in common: Jasimin Neo. Apparently, Jasimin's bf (Leslie)'s elder brother is Levin's best friend (something like that). What a small world, no wonder we have a mutual friend in Facebook. Marie is preg now and baby is gonna be due next year, so xin fu~ During the dinner, another classmate was around too and he... ermm, she got cleavage de loh! So jealous and envy, hmph.
9-course dinner ended around 11.15pm and we had to walk a long way out to get a cab because we were next to a expressway loh (dun ask me which one hor, only know got ERP). Managed to grab a cab within 10mins and went home.
Took only a few pics today cos busy eating and catching up!
