So it happened

I like weddings because it is a celebration of love and life. I love seeing couples in love tying the knot as am such a firm believer of long lasting union of love. of course, I would love to see myself walking the aisle and marrying the man God has predestinated to be my companion in life.

The youngest sibling of my mother got married last April 18 in Manila.  It was a long distance love affair that started in internet and ended in marriage.

Although I love to witness weddings, I hate to join the throwing of bridal bouquet ceremony.  I know am past the marrying age and I don't like to be reminded that I should get hurry in meeting Mr Right.  I don't believe in the belief that when a girl catches a bouquet she is the next in line to walk the aisle. So, last Monday the thing the I hated most happened to me.  I got chosen to play the game.

The wedding coordinator made a twist to the traditional throwing/catching of bouquet.  The bride and groom distributed roses to men and women they wanted to play the game. We were not aware of the real purpose of the game.  All the participants thought we will just give our wishes to the couple.

The bride throws red roses to the six female participants and the one who catches the rose gets eliminated in the game.  The girl who does not catch a rose is the girl of the evening or the lady whom the bouquet will be given to. To make the story short, I was the girl of the evening or the center of distraction. heheheh. I selected my partner through a game.
