Melodanny Ever After

Too personal (chorus oldcakes) stuff below, again and again.

Melody and Danny got married last Saturday and I was one of the groomsmen. My lots of thoughts:

• It's okay to wake up before 7 a.m. if I went to bed after 5 a.m.—it's like no sleep at all. (No, I was not that excited about the wedding. I was working on something for yet another wedding. And no, not my wedding.)
• Danny was calm and happy, like always; Melody was happy and sweet, like always and much more.
• The bridesmaids were perfect. All of them were. So were the groomsmen. Okay, not all of us, but at least Gary was.
• The door game was easy, too easy that either the bridesmaids were a little bit lazy or Gary was really that cute. Or was Danny that cute?
• The food for punishment was indeed edible, and included delicately sliced fruits, with peel. Do you know sliced lemon, raw with peel is good for the voice? My elder-sister-in-chorus told me it was, but I digress. In short, Danny is cute.
• At lunch, I asked if anyone watched and liked “Before Sunset”. Gary did. He said cute-people-flirting was everyone's fantasy. Later at the banquet, I met his girlfriend for the first time, and realised he's living the fantasy! Gonna hate cute couple :)
• Melody changed into a casual look during lunch. Stunningly hip.
• The wedding ceremony was like a dream. I mean it was smooth and pleasant. I also mean I was struggling to stay awake. Yet, amidst the fuzziness, I saw a beautiful picture: Melody's grandma and brother sitting together, holding hands. I felt warm like a pillow.
• The banquet was a dream. I remembered fancy guestbook, ignored seating plan, familiar and unfamiliar chorus oldcakes, cute couples, too many assorted photos taken by Rock, too many bouquet tossings, and off-key yet happy “Stand By Me”.
• There was also the power of love. With Melody on piano, Danny surprised us (or just me?) with the song “有了你 (Having You)” by 陳百強 (Danny Chan). I always think Chan's version is bittersweet; Shums', mellow-sweet sweet.

Note: The photos above are most likely taken by Rock.
