Wedding Tale
.
I went to a wedding recently, as my mother's designated driver. There are advantages in being a designated driver, you get to go to weddings of people you don't know at all.
"This is the second child's wedding. They didn't do anything for the first child", my mother said along the way. Meaning no inviting people to a kenduri kawin, makan etc.
"The first one married a technician or something like that, so that didn't merit any kenduri kawin or whatever. They just went to the kadi or brought him over, got the ceremony over with and that was it".
That was what was said, not that they did anything wrong (you know what I mean) but it was just that the groom was a "technician". And did not merit the usual kenduri kawin. The usual havoc associated with such joyful occassions. Did not merit that unforgettable day. I guess only doctors, lawyers, architects and accountants merit a kenduri kawin and a rather "meriah" (joyful) wedding. For the others, there is really no need to go through the trouble.
Aiyo, like this people also got aaaa?
But knowing the laws of nature and Mr. Murphy, it is this "unfavoured" addition to the family that would probably serve the family and take care of the parents in their old age.
Having told the story above, about the only thing we should do is to make it a "tauladan", an example, don't be so bold as to say that we will never do such a thing. Pass forty-four angels.... (Selisih malaikat empat puluh empat....)
Lucky thing I was a glorified technician, kena julang* lagi...... around the camp!!!
* placed on a chair, carried on the shoulders of a few men and paraded around.
