For the past 2 days I was away for a wedding reception. And I'm still trying to get use to having a Sister In-Law now. Eve of the reception we did not have enough sleep, in total only 2 hours of sleep before the groom arrived. I was being nominated as being one of the bridesmaids. Yes, the only bridesmaid without breasts. The most interesting part of the reception really takes place at the doorstep of my wife's house, by 9.00am it was already heavily guarded by the bridesmaid or "cheemui" of the bride. It is customary for the bridesmaid to give the bridegroom a difficult time before he is allowed to enter. Usually wisdom and courage and his best buddy will help the bridegroom to succeed in his “trial”. However, there is one more situation he has to negotiate with the bridesmaid and sisters of the bride to distribute among them Ang Pow! The funny part was i get to share the ang pow collection :P but I gave it to my wife. The trials went on for an hour, when some of the "best buddy" were starting to lose their patience and started pushing their way in, i mean really pushing and shoving but the bridesmaid proved to be the stronger group. What was "THE MOMENT" for me was to having the honor to sit with my wife to receive Tea from the Groom and the Bride. I being the eldest Brother In-Law gave them ang pow each and said some words of wisdom and encouragement.
