yes, and for the last 20 years too.like any major event that has happened in my life, the images of the anniversary celebrations have been running over and over in my head and will continue to do so for the next few weeks, i am sure.
it was a magical, touching and fun evening.
with lots of palpable love and excitement and surprisingly, few tears.
i thought i would shed tears of joy but i was too busy enjoying myself to cry. surrounded by loved ones, i was on an all time high.
with some alcohol later, i was, apparently, in my element. *wide grin*
"bottoms up, bottoms up" was my signature refrain, recalls a laughing gary. for such embarrassing moments i plead temporary, or is it selective, amnesia.
oz and i were so, so proud of our daughters who organised and ran the entire proceedings. it was almost surreal; some parts of the evening as i watched both of them at work, my jaw must have grazed the floor as i wondered: did we raise these two lovely, loving, intelligent girls?
i gave thanks there and then.
they must have worked many hours behind our backs, digging deep into the yellowing photo albums to come up with a most hilarious montage on powerpoint as well as in a momento booklet for all.
the very happy and proud couple
the tables have turned as our daughters made us repeat after them. our marriage vows, that is.and after that, PARTY TIME!!!!!
karaoke at keppel club where all let their hair down. and shoes out. and, in the case of xru, father's blazer on.
some had real snazzy moves
the newly minted mei gui jie mei (rose sisters) as had happened before, the staff had to switch off the lights and stop the karaoke system before we reluctantly trooped out, hoarse and tired. and, in my case, bloated too because of too much beer encased in a cheongsum sausage but who cared???
it was a night to remember.
