Of wedding themes and such

It was my Uni mate Ee-Leeng's wedding dinner last Saturday.

I caught up with some of my Uni friends whom we last met around Jan/Feb this yr. All of them knew that I'm getting married this Dec, so they were asking 101 questions like will I be giving speech, am I hiring a band, which photographer am I taking and whether I'm going with any wedding themes etc.

So while discussing on wedding themes, I told them that I want to do something unique. Something different from the normal ones that we've seen here in M'sia. Being typical guys, they started to name all the adventurous movie roles.
And 1 the the guys told me that his friend did a Star Wars theme i.e. the groom was Luke Skywalker and the Bride was Princess Leia (not sure if they really watched all the episodes coz they are, afterall, related!). They actually kicked start the nite by having a sword fight between Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker (as Darth Vader kidnapped Princess Leia), and the bride actually did the Princess leia roti-canai's hair do!

Erm.... I guess I'll give this idea a PASS..... Imagine my groom + his men wearing a mask as such:

Come to think of it, not a bad idea for not-so-good-looking groom's men... oh wait, it won't work for mine coz they are not bad looking! *grin*

And imagine if me and my bridesmaids wear as such:


My mum and dad will so-totally kill me! And my bridesmaids would probably kill me for tormenting them as such too.......

And then Mr father-to-be, KM, suggested The Flinstones.
Oh Wow. I could see myself and Beary saying "I YABBA DABBA DO!' and my guests could all just wear towels and drapes and bring rocks etc. Kewl?

NOT. hehe.

Ok, next.

KM then said why not have Kangaroos and Koala Bears as my main decorations, plus rent some kangoroo suits too... Well, KM, YOU can do the honour and wear the suit! No worries, mate! And I'll get some Sheila to assist you too! HA! :P

KM AGAIN, suggested TITANIC. He mentioned that 1 of his friends actually proposed to his gf in KL Tower, and told her if she says No, he WILL jump. And she being a sport, told him if he jumps, she'll jump too! Ah, couples in love.....

Oh and on the proposal topic, Mr Bachelor YB, told us about another Uni mate's wedding proposal. That dude actually wanted to staged a kidnap scene and frighten his gf.
It goes something like that:

Scene 1:
Mr K having dinner with his GF.
He then tells her that he needs to go to the gents

Scene 2:
He runs out and hides in the car booth, with the help of 2 of his buddies.

Scene 3:
The GF waits and waits. No sign of Mr K (doh)
1 of the buddies will call the GF and tell her that he received a call from a stranger saying that Mr K is being kidnapped. And that the buddy is on the way to the restaurant.

Scene 4:
Buddy picks the girl up and while driving to somewhere, stop the car and ask her to check the car booth (don't ask me what was he going to say to make her get out of the car AND check the car booth out of no where). And when she opens it, Mr K jumps out with a bunch of flowers in his hands and of course the ring.

Scene 5:
The GF says YES and they live happily ever after...................

*LOL*
I'm grinning like a mad woman just writing this down! Everyone laughed like nutz when YB told us that story. Oh man. And we asked if Mr K really did that, YB said he didn't and his guess was that it was most likely from all the laughters he got after telling his buddies about the idea.....

Some guys are just trying too hard ey?

So... KM & YB especially, thanks for not making my planning any easier! :P
