Aaaron & Nelly got married

On the 27th January 2007, we saw the union of the Aaron and Nelly, they got married. I have known Aaron for more than 10 years now, and only got to know Nelly on their wedding day. I am not sure how they met, how long have they known each other, what prompt them to get married, but they both look happy and that's good enough. The wedding coincide perfectly with my return from US, just 1 week after my return, and it is such relief to be able to go home after being away for some time, see my parents, play with my dog, catch up with friends that came back to kuching for the wedding, it was a wedding and reunion. Too bad I was not able to catch up with old colleagues due to the ridiculously tight schedule. Out of my 41 hours in kuching I manage to stay at home for only 8.5 hours(including sleeping time), the rest of the time was out doing preparation for the wedding and driving on the wedding day itself. Yes yes, its the 3rd time, I am again the official driver for the wedding. 1st ever was for William, in 2005, driving a Toyota Prado, 2nd time was my former boss Eric, in 2006 driving a Toyota Rav4, and this time its for Aaron, in 2007, driving a Ninja King. Wondering what will I be driving next year. I hear alot of wedding bells, am expecting another close friend of mine to get married soon.

We had our own in-house party the night before the wedding, well not the hire-stripper-alot-of-ladies type of bachelor party, no girls at all. We cracked open a chivas and vowed to finish it, 6 of us did finish it. But not without its side effect though. We were pretty much in hang-over mode the next day, the wedding day. I had a bad headache, so did the others, we were really tired. But the party goes on.

The groom had a hard time trying to wake up

All this while, he is known for not being on time, late, and famously being unable to wake up early. You think there's an exception on his wedding day? you think wrong. He was very late again, slow at getting up, slow at taking a shower, slow at dressing up. An hour after we all were ready, he was still sitting on the bench. Half an hour after that, he was seen walking with a tower around his waist.

Everyone was ready, except the groom.

we even have time to take photo

After many hours, the groom is finally ready

Tin was worst hit by the party last night, well waiting for an hour and a half for the groom doing nothing didnt help. He was extra sleepy

Tin was having a really bad hangover


He was like this for almost the whole day


The bride's "sisters" playing tricks


While the bride is waiting

Usually, we the "brother" are suppose to defend the groom from all the bashing and tricks from the "sister", but actually we planned the tricks together with the "sister" hahahaha.....pay back is sweet, besides famous for being late etc...he is also famous for pulling pranks and tricks on us. All these years, he played countless tricks on me. And today is pay back time.

we had to drink some unidentified drink, which taste bitter, actually was good for the hangover


Aaron had to wear a skirt and dance...hahahaha


and drink through a baby bottle...hahaha (idea stolen from Eric's wedding)

we finally manage to get in

It was also one of the sister's birthday that day, the little bride's maid throughout the whole dinner banquet, collected all the balloons in the ballroom, and place them in their hotel room, at the end of the dinner, we went up to the hotel room and it was full of balloons.
