Yesterday was a very memorable moment for my sister. It was her wedding day. She n Rod picked up us at the Melb airport, went to the apartment and then went to their hotel to get ready. After that we went to the Victorian Marriage Office. Rod’s family was already there. Took tons of pictures when they said the vow and then I signed the certificate as a witness along with Rod’s mom. After that, Rod’s sis came. She has a very gorgeous daughter and a cute son. Her daughter, Ella was 3 years old and she looked like a little angel. She is very sweet. After took some pictures on the park near the office, Rod’s family went to the dinner place, we went to the hotel because sis wanted to change. We arrived at the Boathouse (the name of the dining place) at around 5 PM. The sun was still shining. It’s like 3 PM in Jakarta. We had great time there. I became an interpreter for mom since Rod’s family wanted to talk to her but mom couldn’t speak English. So I became the translator. Rod’s big family was very kind and warm.
One of them, Karen, was a psychologist and she talked a lot with mom. The other family members also welcomed us open handedly. It felt so great. I didn’t feel tired, though I hadn’t got real sleep since friday morning. I had great time too, being an interpreter and talking to Rod’s friend who’s working in the same industry I’m in, taking pictures of lovely Ella. The dinner was delicious too and I think I’m getting used (and like) to drink wine. We stayed there till 11 PM. It’s almost 5 hours we spent quality time together. Before we parted, Rod’s mom said to us once again, welcome to the family.
Yup, we are one big family now, I can say proudly that I have a very beautiful niece (in law?). My sis n Rod looked very happy. She couldn’t stop smiling. It was a simple wedding with only families n close friends invited, but I felt that it was very meaningful, to share the joy with the ones we love, the ones that really close to us. Unlike wedding in Jakarta, which is in my opinion usually too extravagant. Lot of money spent which is merely for the sake of prestige.
