My Bestie's Wedding Day

WOOOOOHOOOOO~ The long awaited photos are here. 
First of all, I have some things to clarify before I start off with the blog post. 

1. This is not a shotgun marriage
2. They did it because the feeling was right, the timing was right

Some of you were asking me this question - how old is your friend? 
Well, she is the same age as me, we are both '93. Exactly! She is 21 this year. 

Some of you were asking me this question - how long have they dated? 
Question well made! From secondary 1.


Many of you have heard me mention a lot about Josey and Fiona but I seldom talk about ShiQi. Reason, because she is a very-busy-lady-boss. ShiQi is one whom I cherish a lot a lot a lot. I knew her since secondary one, I would say we stick to each other everyday, every hour and every minute. I knew her by coincidence, her register number was one number ahead of mine. I was invited by her to go for lunch together because she saw me alone every recess(my friends were all in the express stream). This is how we started off as friend. Lame right? 

I was a little plump girl back then(I am still plump though), and I used to kick her everytime I sit down for morning assembly. She would scold me and I would reply her with an awkward smile. ShQi is one noisy girl, she can talk, laugh and scream at the same time. I believe I am noisy enough but trust me, this girl is worse. If you guys find me weird and crazy, she is many level above me.  

From classmates to friends, from friends to family. ShiQi is sometimes like my younger sister when she chicken out when she had to face her parents for chalet, stayover, late nights out and etc. She is sometimes like my older sister when I am stuck in life. She would give me constructive suggestions, ideas and solutions. Lending me her shoulder when I need to cry. To be honest, she knows me better than I know her. She is like my second mother! Every movement, expression and word I made, she knows exactly what I need and want. I don't have to say a lot or do a lot to make her understand me. 

I got into the bridesmaid' list 9 months before the wedding day. Believe me, I was jumping and hopping around, totally in cloud nine when ShiQi told me that her wedding date is confirmed. Getting Anita to be in the list is one of our goals for that big day.


Eventhough we didn't manage to get Choo Mei Hua to wear dress 
but we did our best to make her pretty. #winks



Wedding Day is quoted to be one of the most tiring days in our life. It is really tiring! All of us woke up at 4am to get ourselves ready for the morning games and tea ceremony. Watching ShiQi getting ready makes me happy and sad. Happy because she found someone who loves her and she loves him too. Sad because from today onward, I have to ask her husband for permission if I want to bring her out for fun night.



This relationship of theirs did not come easy. Objection from her parents was once so strong that they broke up during lower sec and never met for months. I am always the bridge when they need to meet up. Her mother will call me and ask if I am with her naughty daughter. Obviously I will say yes when ShiQi went dating with the boyfriend her mum hates. What is love at that age, many would say. This idiot broke up and got back with her husband so many times and I was unfortunately involved every time. I still remember Yongzhang woke me up at 3am just to tell me I have to take good care of her, make sure she eats, make sure she is happy. I guess I am his best friend when it comes to ShiQi because I am the only one who supports him until today. When papa and mama covered her with the veil, we all cried. Tears of happiness, sending her off to a new chapter of life.




I always wanted to give this idiot the best, giving her my time, giving her my energy, giving her everything she needs. Dinner was worse, I tears again during solemn ceremony, when she walked into the hall, during the song she sang, when her wedding video was playing and when I went home after the whole dinner ended. I can't remember how many times I cried. My tears would just flow down whenever I see the couple together. I admit that I am quite an overly-attached-girlfriend and I love her more than words can describe.


Dinner was awesome, ladyboss indeed a ladyboss. Desmond and Anita were pretty much enjoying the wine while I was busy crying. Fiona, Yeehern, Elliott and Josey were busying commenting on decoration, food, people, and everything. While Weiching plays the guitar for ShiQi and Weiren getting all emo because the girl he once liked is getting married and the groom is not him. #justkidding


  
Nothing gets better than this. Reunion dinner with Anita and Desmond and all my loved ones were present. 

Now I wonder who will be the next to get married. We always say that Yeehern will get married early if he accidentally shotgun someone. Fiona and Elliott are the two holy kids that made us worry. Either they get back together or they find new partner to join the big family. Josey will most probably be single forever if she don't want Yeehern. Weiching is always in his own world, talk a lot but we always don't get to see any girl. Weiren and Dora is another happy couple.

Christ Church brought all of us together and our friendship to a whole new level. Seeing everyone growing up, changing to be a better person, get into a good school, having an awesome job, be in a relationship, marrying someone we love and have a family. This is what we called life.

I am 21 this year and I have gone through (at least getting involved) quite a bit of what need to happen in life. What about you? What is your story?




Lastly, to my dearest ShiQi!
Congratulations on your marriage, may your marriage be happy and blessed. Remember your beloved pink-pig will always love you. If Lin Yong Zhang dare to bully you, I will punch him up and sit on his face.
