things that make you go "awww"

we attended one of my colleague's weddings last nite. it was a fabulous affair. none of that whole boring sit-down is-it-over-yet kinda things. this was a one of a kind shindig.

the groom's brother went to high school with me.. and he also happens to be the lead singer of a local band which plays in a few bars around town. we wanted to get them for our wedding but they couldn't make it.

anyhow, it was a beautiful, heart-warming wedding. it was one of the few that kale attended with me (with the going rate for angbaos, we try to minimise the number of weddings we BOTH attend). and i'm glad he did. it was nice to sit with him at the table and listen to the groom sing a song to the bride (a U2 number cos he's sooo hip) and watch as they slow-danced. i dunno what it was about the evening (perhaps it helped that my lovely husband had a couple of glasses of wine and was more affectionate than usual.. haha) but it was an unusually fun evening.

the "awwww" factor hit the roof when the groom's brother broke out a song for the slow dance. i have no idea who sang it (some whiney british dude, i think) but for those who know which song i'm referring to, it's the "you're beautiful... you're beautiful, it's true" song. and i just sighed..and swooned.. and did one of my totally over-the-top "awwwww"s. the hubby looked at me and started cracking up. what can i say, i'm just a total softie. and a total cliche. oh well.

so yeah, lest this blog begin to sound a little too mushy and rose-tinted (ahem, ahem), i shall stop gushing. i promise i'll grumble about something tomorrow just to even it out, kay?
