Never thought that wedding can be very exhausting. Slept over at Dave's hotel so I wouldn't have to go there in early morning. Woke up at 5.30 AM. Dave was still asleep though his mom had tried to wake him up. I woke up instead :D. Took a shower and then ate breakfast. Ko Steve's gf, Fanny had kindly heated up the rice and prepared some food. I ate some roll cakes then after Dave finished his shower we ate together.
At around 6.30 AM, we went to Royal. Dave was getting his hair and make up done, so was I. Cynthia and Dave's mom were already there. Ok, I'm not gonna go into details coz it will be very long and (maybe) boring. Short story, we finished at around 7.45 AM. Dave had his hair colored red.
Then we went to Citraland, Dave's father and brothers were already there. And the....what's the correct term....give away ceremony for the groom? started. Pics and vids were taken. Ko Steve as the eldest son cut a red ribbon (reminded me of Dragon Ball...:D) as a symbol giving permission for Dave to get married before him. Then the best man (me) escorted Dave to pick the bride up at Grand Tropical (I think the best man here plays a role to make sure that the groom doesn't run away when he has cold feet or second thought....lollzzzz).
Arrived at Grand Tropic and we attracted attention (the Gold Mercedes Benz with wedding ornaments plus the hand bouquet help a lot). We went to Cynthia's family suite and guess what, there's also another groom who picked up his bride on the same floor, we met them when they were waiting for the elevator. Talking about wedding season....lolzzz... I 'handed' Dave to Cynthia's family rep. Then he walked backward till his back touched Cynthia's and he opened her veil. They ate rice noddles with boiled eggs afterward, using chopsticks. After that there's Cynthia's family tea pay. Then we (the bride, the groom, the bride's maid and me) went to Citraland Hotel again where Cynthia (supposedly) was welcomed in the groom's house (represent by the same room where Dave's was given away earlier).
Next...off to church. We got there on time. The pastor who led the mass reminded me of Hendra. He really looked like him :D. As usual there's this sentimental moment when the groom and the bride said thanks to their parents for taking care of them all this time. After the wedding blessing, Dave and Cynthia released a pair of white doves, then came the civil registry officer. Short story, it all went well.
The gold club was our next destination. Arrived there ahead of schedule at 2.30 PM. We got comp'ed with VVIP room. We ate our late lunch there. At around 4 PM the tea pay ceremony for Dave's family was started. ...... The wedding reception started at 6.30 PM. The MCs were Reza n the guy who's also appear in Extravaganza. The food was delicious and I had to conduct couple of short interviews to ask the selected guests (which was selected by Dave) about their comments for Dave's wedding. The reception ended at 9 sth PM. But we still had to clean up things. I went back to Grand Tropic to get my backpack then went back home. My job was done, after about almost 18 hours.
For Dave...congrats man. Never thought you'd tie the knot this fast. I'm very happy, for both of you...Thanks for all the CRAZY times we've had...you needn't have to do the that (you know what I mean). It was an honor that you pick me to be your best man and I tried my best to meet your expectation. Hopefully I did.
I guess GIGI wouldn't mind if I change their song a lil bit...just for you Dave...my craziest fella...cheers mate
