Uncle's wedding

Dear Diary,

As I mentioned previously, I just attended my youngest uncle's wedding in Malaysia. Yes youngest uncle... one that is just 1 year older than me. He just got himself a young and pretty wife. Geez to think I have to address this young lady who's barely 20 my Aunty. Goodness...

Can't believe it.

This is certainly one of the few sad and poorly organized wedding. I thought my role is merely to attend the wedding and congratulate them... but it's not that simple.

As expected, my uncle who's not very educated, aren't rich as well, so he didn't organized the wedding very well. In fact, my parents got to fork out quite a bit at the last minute seeing to some arrangements. Worst of all, on the wedding day, there are no food preparation for the guest in the afternoon. No photographers.... and even the dinner at night, there are no waitress to serve drinks... I wonder what kinda restraunt is that... Sucks... U bet... I have a share doing them all....

I got to drive out to source for food for the guest with my cousin, then I was the photographer cum bridesmaid for the day, then the worst, I got to go around serving drinks in the restaurant... Argh... sucks... how embarrassing... dressing nicely them going around serving like a waitress...but well... in order to make my new aunty happy guess it's worth...

Before we even arrived, we had already heard rumors or rather sayings about my new aunty. We heard that her parents are objecting the marriage violently because the couple are still young and my new aunty is pregnant. (In many of the home towns in Malaysia, people are still very traditional, there goes to say of our hometown) So it's natural that her parents are against of the marriage. Lots of problem arises, her parents disowned her and got people to create a din at our place. Though things were finally settled but my aunties parents and relatives didn't showed up during the wedding to give their blessing.

I can imagine how hurting it is... yet I admire her courage to go for her will and love. The determination to give birth to her baby... It's very noble act. The act of motherhood! The willingness to bear the name of shame and sayings of all others. I sincerely admire her even before meeting her. When I arrived and saw her sitting alone in the room, sobbing... Tears whelmed up too... I decided I will do my best on her wedding day, even if it's just 1 day, I'll try to make her feel loved, feel that we take her as one family, and that she's not alone. I hope all that I have done is worth it. From the photos, she also appear happy, which is good.

Seriously, it's noble to be responsible, I am glad my uncle is also willing to bear responsibility. Upon the end of the wedding, I spoke to my dear fren Colby online and he agreed with me that I did the right thing. I wonder what i would do if I were them? I have seen one of my dear fren aborting the baby... though she's happy now, I wonder wat wld be the result if she chose to keep it instead of sacrifying the baby. Thoughts came to my mind, I guess I would probably keep the baby. Afterall its a life. Colby felt the same too. Nonetheless, everyone has their own wish and decision. Glad that everything ends well, Happy closure I would say.

Here are some photos taken... not too many since I got to multi task....


My parent helping her put her veil instead... according to chinese custom it's suppose to be her parents but since her parents are not willing to come my parents offered help instead. Look how happy she is...
