I Wanna Get Married... In 5 Years.

Last night I returned from a brilliant trip to Kuwait. It was my cousin's wedding, and Good Lord it was magnificent!

I was a bridesmaid along with 3 other cousins and we each had a gentleman to walk with. I originally was meant to walk with a good friend, but as it turns out, I was the tallest of us girls, so I had to walk at the back with my tallest male cousin (WHO IS RIDICULOUSLY STIFF!). Oh, well. We marched, we didn't get married or anything.

So the bridesmaid dresses were not particularly proper for a gallant wedding, so we went to change. We all wore long dresses with lots of tulle for puffiness, but I kept stumbling on my too-high heels and took them off 5 minutes into the wedding (now I could walk and dance with the original gentleman. He is, in truth, much taller than me. But 398429 inch heels to help a woman...). I spent all 5 hours prancing around and dancing my heart out barefoot, and I've never had so much fun in my life!

There's this ceremony in Arab weddings in which all the bachelorettes in the bride's family dance around the bride with giant candles, then the groom comes and turns off the candles one by one. I think it's a ceremonious thing, but I have no idea what it means. Also, the last bride gets to carry the largest candle to 'pass the torch' or whatever.

I tripped a lot barefoot, and at one point, I went into the wrong wedding hall. It was all good though, I checked myself in time. Also, a man went into the women's bathroom. I ran into him at the sink fixing his beard. I happened to be singing 'Come Primo' very loudly along wit the giant spear system, so that was pretty embarrassing. Thank God it wasn't this man my mother's trying to get me to marry, 'cause that would have put an end to the thought. I'm not a terribly good singer, you see. :)

In conclusion, I would like to be married in 5 years, please. Preferably to someone who drives an SUV or 4x4, or 4 wheel drive, whatever, I don't know the difference. Also, someone who gets my family, because frankly, I don't. For God's sake, we have a diseased DUCK hobbling around the living room!

Isn't that Kureiji?
