The long and short about Adrenaline’s Wedding

My good friend of 10 years, Adrenaline, is getting married tomorrow.

From her recent post, I reckoned she is not very enthusiastic about the wedding. In fact, I think she is probably the most unwilling bride I know. Sigh. Girl, if you are reading this, I have this piece of advice to you: you must accept the fact that I am not the groom!

Seriously though, I am very worried that she will carry out a ‘runaway bride’ thingy tomorrow. Actually, it sounds kind of exciting and romantic, but nay, that is not a very good idea. Besides, Adrenaline is not very good at running (she took almost 4 hours for the 21km half marathon), and it will be very embarrassing if she gets caught and dragged back to the wedding aisle.

I am also very worried that she will runaway after I gave my ang pow, which will be, very, very bad.

Apprehensions aside, I am looking forward to the wedding tomorrow. They say girls look their prettiest on their wedding, and I do hope this miracle, however unlikely, will happen to Adrenaline. Besides, our entire poly gang will be there, and it will be very fun making jokes at the expense of the wedding girl. Heh.

Anyway, I think it’s rather mean of me not to have said anything nice and mushy and itchy-yucky to her on the day before her wedding, so here it is:

Dearest Ah Sai,

Oei, I know you are not 100% sure about getting hitched, and I’m in no position to comment because this is your future happiness that we are talking about here.

But from what I have observed during our gatherings and at your dad’s passing, T**** is like one of the nicest guys around, and it’s obvious that he cares a great deal for you even though he is not exactly the expressive type. Besides, he is very tall compared to your very lack of tall, so you guys will probably make good-looking babies :)

Please try your best to make us get emo and teary-eyed when you walk down the aisle with a dazzling smile tomorrow. You know we will be cheering for you :)

With Love,
Sibeh ‘Lorenzo’ Sian

P.S. By the way, I think I shall play it safe and give you your ang pow after your honeymoon. Being the gracious person you are, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind :)

P.P.S. I can’t believe I wasted my lunch break to type this!
