The Special DayToday , the 15th of January was definitely a very special and memorable day for me. And I know that it was much more special to my cousin. Today, my cousin Loujia got married! It was the first wedding that I attended. It was definitely a very interesting but tiring day.
The Funny Morning Start
The day started as my alarm clock rang as early as 6am in the morning! I hopped out of bed excitedly, knowing that I was going to play a part in my cousin's special day. I was actually going to help open the car door for the groom! It was so exciting, and I kept wondering about the big red packet I might receive. My father drove me to my cousin's place and we could not find the right house unit at first! It all turned out that my father mistook the number 8 for a 6! What a waste of time! When we got there my cousin's mother opened the door for us and I could easily see how happy she was on that day. She was smiling so brightly. I took a peak at my cousin in her gown and she was simply gorgeous! She even wore heals that made her look so tall! There were professional photographers in the house at that time and I was impressed by the amount of equipment they had with them. Once the phone rang to inform us that the groom has arrived, i dashed down the flat immediately after grabbing 2 oranges to present to the groom. It was only when I got down that I realised that the photographers had forgotten to come down. We phoned the photographer and she got down in a while. I was rather nervous as I did not know what I was supposed to do. The adults instructed me to simply open the car door for the groom and I did so. In the end I was rewarded with a big "Ang Bao" or red packet. My father and I went up shortly before the groom, as he was waiting for his brothers. And I suddenly feel so relieved that I went up first! The groom was teased by the bridesmaids and the whole gang was locked out. They offered "ang pao"s but the group of girls were not satisfied. They forced the guys to eat some disgusting snacks! How lucky I was to be inside the house! The first "dish" consisted of sour plums with lemon juice! Eww just the thought of it makes me sick! The second "dish" consisted of white chocolate bars with honey, sprinkled with a huge mountain of sugar! It's not really surprising if one of the guys suddenly got diabetes. The third "dish" was a cup of bitter gourd juice! It looked utterly disgusting! I wonder how they managed to gulp it all down. The girls even called the guys sissies when they resisted. It was so hilarious I laughed out loudly! But in the end, the thoughtful girls brought the guys a cup of mouthwash each so that they do not smell. The funny thing is, one of the guys actually thought it was yet another "dish" and drank the mouthwash! It was so funny that I started jumping about! I actually thought they were surely going to be let in now, after doing so much, but no! They were forced to do funny things like dancing like a chicken before finally getting let in. The groom quickly dashed to the bride's room to fetch her. He tried to carry her out but almost fell! It was so funny!
We soon went to attend to solemnization of my young couple. It was rather boring but got very exciting when the kissed in the end! I felt so happy for my cousin! We soon proceeded to the grand ball room to have the wedding lunch. The food sure took long to serve but it was so delicious. It was such a pity that I could not enjoy most of the food because of my braces. During the feast, my cousin and her partner appeared for a performance which was so interesting! They pretended to act out roles of their home-made movie while dancing! It was just so amazing. After so, they presented songs to each other and family members. It was just so touching! At the end of the day, I was utterly exhausted from the day and fell asleep while on the way back home. I collapsed on my bed when I got back home but decided to wake up to update my blog and share this wonderful experience with all of you!(785 words)
