excerpt from my diary

"What I like about weddings is that nobody is in a hurry; you eat & laugh & applaud each other & sometimes ignore the program in order to chat to someone & eat some more & send an sms to somebody you wish were there & take pictures of people & sit all by yourself and ponder life for a while & drink some coffee & all of a sudden 8 hours have passed... and then it's time to dance!"

Said by someone who doesn't hate weddings as much as she claims to.

Happy New Year.

Sometimes claims are made to hide the truth from strangers who would not understand. :)

Almost all the weddings I've known have been pretty boring where people simply smile at strangers whom no one bothers introducing, eat and eat and eat (usually, the kind of food I'm not all that fond of) and where much older relatives look at you with a wicked smile and express their desire to marry you off.

Happy New Year!
