December is the month where I would attend many weddings.
I recently attended my sister's wedding, which is extremely atypical of a Singaporean Chinese wedding. I had to take leave to attend it, since it is on a weekday day time.
The wedding started off with solemnization at ROM. After that, the groom chartered us on taxis (ok, he booked the cabs) to their place for a lunch reception at their newly renovated flat. The event was cozy, and we get to chat with everyone, and even get to know the other side's relatives. The lunch buffet was from a caterer which food my parents like.
I am from the bride's side, and I personally know the people she invited. As for the groom's side, it was a time to know his immediate family.
Honestly, I really enjoyed this wedding. I have never thought about a wedding like that, but ......
