Today is the wedding day of Jong and Weng. Jong is a long time friend. As far as our friendship is concerned she is the only person he introduced to us. At the time they were just friends but I could tell by his body language that he was really into her. Otherwise I wouldn't be blogging about them right?
So last August they announced that they were tying the knot and seeing that I was all too excited about their engagement suddenly popped the question, "Will you be our emcee?". And I was like, "Oh my gosh." Deep inside I was like, "Okaaay how do I get out of this politely?" And after one minute I realized I coudn't (read the end of the Frenzy post). So I said, "Okay only if you'd be the one to provide the script." I'm glad he kept his part of the bargain.
The past months and weeks, I pushed this emcee thing at the back of my head. I figured why worry or be nervous about something that's still far ahead. Also I was thinking that maybe he could find someone else to do it for him or he could find me a co-emcee. At least there would be someone to share the nerves with. Even though he was the one who provided the script, I had my own preparation going as if I was getting hitched myself. This was not a first time so I thought of all the goof ups I did before and try to avoid embarrassing the newlyweds. A week before, I was already looking for an orange-inspired dress seeing that their motiff is tangerine and silver. My sister kept on asking why I put my self to such trouble. Hey I wouldn't want to be the odd one out right? If I stuck out like a sore thumb I and my goof ups would be more noticeable I thought. I also thought of having my hair, nails, and makeup done by a professional which is something I rarely do because I'm a DIY woman.
Fast forward to today. This morning I was so nervous but what the heck I'm here I might as well make the most out of it. The only plan that went through was the orange dress that I like so much. I did my hair, nails, and makeup myself. I must say for a non pro I must have done well seeing that the guests who were my friends gave the thumbs up not only to the getup but to the whole emcee thing. Hmmm somebody even said that if I practiced some more I could like to it professionally. Or may be he said that so I could emcee his wedding free of charge. Hah! Thanks for the compliment you guys. Friends truly know how to flatter eh? Well I had fun if another opportunity comes up I dunno I just might accept that is if the nerves will not win. Haha!
Congratulations Jong and Weng! Have a happy life and a happy family. God bless your union.
