it’s probably the worst wedding in malaysia that i have attended so far. it was in bukit jalil golf and country club. when we reached the place, the parking place was far and it was still a rough surface. i told my husband that this friend didn’t care about his friends and guests because the guests had to walk very far. when we entered the hotel, the ushers led us to the pool where the wedding ceremony was going to be held. the ushers showed us to our seats… which was in front. we were sitting there nicely when one of the ushers apologized and said if we could move so they can give the seats to the important person in fga church because they realized there wasn’t any seats available for her anymore. well, what to do… they prepared 100 chairs for 300 guests! so the family literally stood up while feeling hot and sweaty. imagine a pool wedding at 10 am.
the good thing was, my boy needed to go to the bathroom. we went to the nearest one .. only to be told that only members could use the room. i asked where the other bathroom was. the receptionist just pointed me to another direction and said “there, next to tennis.” my gosh i couldn’t even see where the tennis court was. so i asked again where, with a hint of irritation in my voice this time. another lady told me where the tennis court was… in Malay. i just left and decided to find where the tennis court was myself.
My husband followed me when he saw we were going to a different place. Finally we found the tennis court and the bathroom. Next to the bathroom was: the nursery! Hehehe. You know what we did? we went inside the nursery room. it was cool there because the aircon was on. and stayed there the whole time. hehehe. that time also, i had a terrible headache so my husband told me to just rest a little bit.
when the wedding ceremony was over, everybody went inside the hotel. that was our cue to go out of hiding. And went with the crowd to the hotel for reception. how naughty could someone get? but indeed, it was the most disorganized and most unprepared wedding i have gone so far. if they were on budget, why couldn’t they just do it in church? church wedding is a lot better. but of course, it must be their ideal wedding… pool wedding. they should just think of their guests and prepared chairs for everybody so that even though it was in broad daylight, and the wedding was under the sun, everybody could at least sit down and enjoy the ceremony.
having said all this, God was still gracious. i told peter that even though they didn’t care about their guests when they planned/organized this wedding, God’s grace was still on the wedding. i think i have said this many times in my blog: God loves weddings! (when the wedding actually started the place became cloudy. it was still very hot, but at least there were clouds to cover us from the sun). God loves it when we honor Him, and obey Him before we journey into marriage. And God’s grace was on the guests as the hotel served great food!!!
(and I am hoping that nobody from fga church stumbles upon this blog. LOL!)

hi Jan, it’s my first to read this blog and I truly like this. I am going to add this to my link, is that okay?
I guess they were just not thinking about the pasrking lot but I would be upset too if I am asked to move out, lol. The bathroom shouldn’t be exclusive too.
lits, thanks… sure, please link it up.
aish – actually that person who asked us to move out apologized again after the wedding. i told him we were hurt.. but he took it as a joke. so he laughed. LOL. what to do?
