Wedding

My extended family and me hardly meet up with one another. However, somehow, when we meet, we talk, we crap, we joke and sometimes, we just go crazy. Today, we met at my cousin, Michelle's, wedding. During weddings, the same batch of cousins will usually sit together. I belong to the mid-late 70s batch. There'll be the older batch of cousins at another table. Uncles & Aunties will sit together. It's almost automatic now.

My mum come from a huge family and she's number 8. Because of this, I have a lot of cousins who are older than me. Today, one of the older cousin popped by my table and said that amongst all the cousins, only 5 are left yet married - me inclusive. Good thing, teasing did not carry on as they started to place their focus on Carol with questions like "When's your ROM?", "How did he propose huh?", etc. Heee... it's with questions like these, I love to just sit and eat. Don't talk too much!

At my table, sat 2 of my favorite cousins who are siblings. With them, sat their 2 baby girls just 2 months apart. Carol and I had a HUGE fun of time trying to grab them for photos and to play. Unfortunately, none of us had the mother scent thus both babies kept crying for their parents.

Anyway, this entry is after all about my cousin's wedding thus I shall not focus too much on the babies. Hee... When my cousin gave her speech, I can't help but drop tears at the demise of my uncle. I am sure if he is still alive, he will indeed the happiest man this evening. As I saw my cousin walk down the aisle, honestly, I cannot believe that she is married. 5 years younger than me, I always see her as a little girl. The image of a little girl has been etched on my mind for ages. However, on the other hand, when I see her walk down that aisle, I have this deep feelings that she is greatly loved by God and her husband. I am glad and I rejoice together with her. They both presented to us a Jacky Cheung song - a song that brought them both together. My cousins and I were in awe at how well she could actually sing! Hee.. The irony of it all was that the song was sung in Cantonese. Still remember how hard it was for her to speak Cantonese when she was younger.
