chinese weddings.... well, are never that much fun...

don't get me wrong, i am very much a pro-chinese tradition person, but sometimes the traditions are just not that suitable. chinese weddings are loud(in terms of people), and colourful(in terms of red), and are loads of fun(if you like sharing too much to eat dinners with people who REALLY like to scream YUM SENG), but lack a sense of meaning that makes a wedding really memorable...

What prompted this train of thought? i was reading a book that had a passage that really touched me, and you know what? would be really suitable if you needed something to read at your friend's(or your) wedding, that is, assuming they can hear you above the "YUUUUUUUMMMMM SEEEEENGs".. well

"With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls,

For stony limits cannot hold love out,

and what love can do, that dares love attempt."

p/s:it's from Romeo and Juliet.

p/s/s: my cousin's getting married soon. another brash and loud affair...sigh
