a buddhist wedding?

hmph, i didn't think Buddha really endorsed weddings..

but it didn't stop me being over joyed to be at an old friend's wedding at the Buddhist temple in Maylands.. have to say it's probably THE wedding for the year.. they are the sweetest couple ever! and practically everyone i know was there..

there were lots of people, noise, red everywhere, traditional Chinese costumes, yummy vegetarian treats, a 3-tier cake with the double-happiness Chinese character on it, and endless photo taking (we all had to line up for photos with the couple and i must've been in the queue for 5 different photos in different combination of friends and family.. it must be an Chinese thing)!! it's been a while since i was last surrounded by such festivity, and it's times like this.. i quite enjoyed all the Chineseness!

and recently, i've discovered i've got a shameful habit when it comes to weddings..

i cry.. yup.. like a girl.. the minute any mention of love, forever, vows, soul mate, the sight of the couple looking deep into each other's eyes, the smiles exchanged, holding hands,.. and the water works is ON! .. i have no control what-so-ever!! ARGH.. pisses me off no end.. the thought that i just fit so snuggly into the warm fuzzy girlie stereotype.. crying at wedding..pfftttt.. i would've laughed at anyone who did that 5 years ago.. and now i find myself biting my lips, tears welling in my eyes, whilst subtly rolling my tissues into a fine tip so i can soak up the tears without ruining my mascara!

sigh.. i've gone soft..what's next? pink outfits in my wardrobe?!?! ARRGGHHH!!!
