I was the earliest to arrive and had to wait substantially. Next to arrive was the make-up artist, then the photographer. The sisters and Pika arrived after that.
Peter had arrived early and was waiting downstairs. Jerry (Miffy's brother), Wilson (the photographer) and myself (double-spy) went down to open the groom's car-door. We then attempted the challenges which was kind of a bore. When time trouble threatened, they let in the photographer and we simply let our ourselves in.
I changed coats again and went into Miffy's room where Karen (make-up artist) was putting on the finishing touches. Peter read his pledge of love outside the door and was finally admitted to claim his wife.
We zipped between the homes of the two families and even found time to go to Upper Pierce reservoir (should go there sometime). During this time, we got to know Jerry, Charlotte (Jerry's gf) and Michelle (Miffy's sister). I prefer this crowd to the four "sisters".
The day ended at Orchard Country Club's hotel where we checked in our stuffs. After changing and cleaning up, I promptly fell asleep. Despite my deep state of sleep, I would either mumble a reply to their conversations or would suddenly sit up and give a comment before dropping back to sleep - which scares them somewhat.
At 5, their parents dropped in and supplied us with a dinner of hor fun. Once done, Peter and I went down to check out the sound system. Then another round of resting before we were alerted that guests are arriving.
Michelle: "Why so early?"
JW: "This should be the way!"
Miffy's mother smiled.
Pika and I were seated with Miffy's colleagues. Relatives and business contacts outnumber us "friends" at this wedding and I am glad there were only 27 tables. The food was decent for once and I enjoyed it. By 10pm, all the photos have been taken. By 10.30pm, they were thanking guests outside the door. I breathed a sigh of relief and got myself a beer.
"Drink up!", someone said
What??!!
I rushed to the door but was too late; Peter had drank some of a suspicious looking liquid and was looking red in the face.
"Why no call for help?"
Grimace / Grin.
Best wishes again to Peter and Miffy.
