wedded bliss

congratulations to i & s, for taking that huge step towards commitment, for promising to be best friends for life and for learning to find yourselves in each other in the days ahead!

t'was lovely to be back in shalom although i wish it hadn't been under such an awkward circumstance - awkward because weddings always generate that dreadful hair-raising question which plague singletons:

"so when is it your turn ha?"

fortunately, there were many people who wanted to say hi during the tea-reception so i was able to continuously weasel out of conversations when they began to veer towards the inevitable. and with most people distracted by the happy couple, i was able to gobble down 3 cupcakes before fleeing the scene.

dinner at the ritz was a lovely affair with beautifully dressed and coiffed patrons strolling about the grand ballroom. i managed to evade the dreaded topic until one eagle-eyed acquaintance pounced on me with an admonishment to stop making my poor parents wait. that blip notwithstanding, i enjoyed inventing mock violent scenarios with the company in between the fine courses. the elongated pace of dinner was a stark contrast from the snappy wedding ceremony the day before but, hey, i'm free, free, free today, so it's all peachy.
