That Season of the Year, Again..

Well folks, it's June now. I'm sure many of you are familiar with what season am I talking about. Yes correct, mating season. Many of those couples who are eager/reaching suitable age/accidentally have to marry now, and seems like their brains act in unison. They choose June to do their wedding. For some, this may be time for them to save up their budget because they get to have free lunch (and some even dinner) almost every weekend. And to those lucky fellas who happen to befriended with rich people, ceremonies are usually held at hotels (3/4 stars at least) which concludes to good food.

First of all, congratulations to those who are/just/coming soon getting married. Thanks to those who invite me to their wedding ceremony. God-willing, if nothing comes in the way, I'll be there. It's good to see the happy faces of bride and bridegroom on the dais. For the bride, maybe because of the thinking that after this, everything is on the husband. Clothing, food, shelter, you name it. Your salary, is your own salary. Your husband's salary, is also your salary. How nice isn't it, time to go shopping-spree. Oh yes, don't ever any of you say to me you've never think like this at least once. Face the world, we are greedy even to our other halves. And to the bridegroom, well, what else to say. The prospects of the man's eel entering a woman's cave (quoted from Memoirs of a Geisha) is too heavenly enough for him to smile all day long. No more arm-wrestling, hugging the pillow at night. The 'pillow' after this sure is warm though even in cold, blistering night LOL. You, covering your face in embarrassment, face it. Sex is real, deal with it. Enjoy it while you still can, less till the time you have to take Viagra to get your member up. Again, congrats to you all and may the night be steamy. Titanic, anyone?

Regarding the invitation received, I thank to all. Some of them, I'll definitely go to their wedding. Some, to the extend I'll go on the both sides' ceremony. These people are the ones I define as buddies, real close friends. Owh heck, I'll even help with the preparation also. No formal invitation is needed from them, enough with just phone call or IM conversation. Still, they usually send me invitation card although I've implanted their wedding date and location directly to my brain.

Then there are those normal friends. Invitation type varies; some will come meet me and invite me directly, some will send invitation card and SMS/e-mail, some will just be invitation card (rarely happens, because they need my address before sending), some just through SMS/e-mail and there are also those who invite publicly using bulletin board/group website such as Friendster. Chances of me going varies too. Those who go to the extend of seeing me in person to invite me, I'd be very happy to attend their wedding. Those who send invitation card, it depends on distance and my availability. If both are okay, there is big chance of me going. SMS/e-mail people, less likely of me going. There is still hope, but if the above two conditions are met and with one additional: I have the mood. Last type, public invitation. Very unlikely of seeing me at the ceremony. Well, you don't specifically invite me though. So I can assume the invitation is directed to somebody else and not me. Unless of course, my name is inside the invitation LOL. In that case, this type of invitation will be on the same level as the SMS/e-mail type.

However, there is another type of invitation which I don't think deserve to be put inside any of this. It is the 'tomorrow-I'm-gonna-get-married-and-now-only-I-invite-you' type. Sorry to say, this type of invitation is the one I won't even consider to attend. I mean, WTF man. You're getting married tomorrow, and now only you invite me? If you are not that eager for me to attend, then I also am not that eager to go. Karma dude, karma. Do onto others as what you expect them to do onto you. Maybe you follow Van Helsing's Igor philosophy: Do onto others before they get the chance to do onto you. Who knows..

No offense to anyone. But if you want me to attend your wedding, at least invite me properly. Personally meet me or a phone call is enough, provided that you send me a card too (if I don't know the place). Don't ever think I'm too free to search your location on Google maps.

Talking about all these wedding things makes me bored. I'm gonna figure out another excuse to the question usually asked to me in any wedding ceremony: When is your turn? I might tell them I'm migrating to Australia and get married there, hurm.. Sounds like a good answer.

[addition]: Thanks Rina for correcting my vocab. English is now my 3rd language, no more 1st language like before. 1st is VB, followed by SQL. 3rd is English, and 4th is Bahasa Malaysia (tukar plak dah Bahasa Malaysia, dulu Bahasa Melayu. nyusahkan btols..). This explains why I rely on MS Word to do my grammar checking and www.dictionary.com for vocab.
