Took my day off today to attend my best buddy's wedding at Noble House in UIC Building along Shenton way. Arranged with PengJoo to hitch a ride from him to the restaurant. Woke up at 10am in the morning and took a MRT to Serangoon for the pickup. Then we proceed to the restaurant. When we arrived, the solemnisation ceremony had already started. After the ceremony, we went to the table for our lunch.
Wan Ching How and Florence Chua, the newly wed couple sat at the table located in the middle of the room. They enjoyed their food as much as the guests had, not very similar to the usual wedding that you goes to. Haha... It was like a small gathering for the close relatives and friends to celebrate their marriage. Interesting indeed...
I still remembered years ago, when we were out at sea for an exercise, we (me and Wan) chatted on this topic about getting married and starting a family and stuff. At that time, Wan was still single while I had just ended a relationship. His concept / mindset was that he was such a man that he dun believe that there would be any gals that can tolerate him. He also said that unlike me, he dun intend to get married even if he has a galfriend. I told him not to think that way as fate work in a mystical way.
Years later, when sending him home from work, we touched on this topic again and I told him, "See I told you, while you said that no gals can tolerate you. Now you have Florence!" In the conversation that followed, Wan stood by this concept / mindset that he will not get married and start a family. And again I told him not to speak too soon... As time goes by, my theory seem to come true again, haha... While Florence had been hinting him and he had been avoiding, he soon realised that he can't hide forever. Shortly after we left the service, we met and had lunch and he shared with me that he was kinda cornered for the fateful day....
"He was working on his computer and Florence had pass him a piece of paper and asked him to choose. In the midst of what he was doing, he gave the date without much thought. After his work, he asked her what it was about only to realise that it was the various date for their ROM. So he looked through the dates again and chose the furthest date he can have. Well, Florence sure knows him so well that she knows when to get Wan's commitment...."
Again I told him, "See! I told you so!" Wan was quick to defend himself and went on to say that he could get a house earlier this way, but he also stood firm on his ground that though married, there will not be any kids... Well well, I agree with him on his principle and reasons for that, however, I would like to say again that Fate works in a mystical way and so dun speak too soon. Be it by accident or not, haha....
In any case, I do hereby wish this couple a blissful marriage and smooth sea and following winds to your new chapter of life which knowing my buddy, I know they will.
