are weddings good for u?

how many weddings have u gone to? not counting ur own...especially for u singles/unmarried out there. for the unmarrieds (meaning u're in a relationship but haven't jumped yet!), at a wedding the inevitable question will be ...when's urs? and if u're single...do u have a boyfriend/partner? why don't u get one? (God forbid u have a life if u're single or unmarried) woe is it if the wedding u attend will be filled with relatives, then u wished the drink was stronger and they get too drunk to badger u.

to the guest, weddings means that u have to give an appropriate gift...be it money or otherwise. in a year, if u attend ten weddings, it means u have to spend a minimum of $500 to $1000, depending on ur financial abilities. n, that's not it, for ladies, they have to get outfits and make-up, and hair-dos, and manicure, etc... and goodness, there better not be two similar outfits at the same wedding!!!

if u get a wedding invitation, u might think, oh no! more expenditure!!! especially if u're not very close to the couple...then u think, to go or not to go (but of course, first u think happy thoughts for the lucky couple ;0) but if u don't get an invitation, n u hear of it later from another friend, u might think, whew, lucky me...or why wasn't i invited and feel hurt.

besides, weddings are also a chance to meet ur mutual friends n catch up on the latest gossips. u get to check out ur friends and see if they brought a partner, if they've gained weight, looks better/worse and see how they are doing generally, in comparison to u. and if u're single n lucky, u may meet someone special and start another wedding in motion. oh, and if u're lucky, the food will be good and the music tolerable (please let there be no karaoke!), and the drinks flowing!

so, what do u think? are weddings good for u? me? weddings are happy occasions to celebrate with my friends, as long as i don't get too many invites in a year...they're a reminder of time passing, my own single status, and they're bad for the pocket! anyways, i wish the couple whose wedding dinner i'm going to attend tommorrow a beautiful and lasting marriage...yum seng!!!
