Wedding Guests

Wow… we’re really hyper-focusing on this tonight?

Yes… I want to know ALL your thoughts about ALL of it!

Other people reading this blog will be like, “Wow this woman is delulu…”

(LOL) Doesn’t matter!!!

Okay… sigh… well I was thinking about the MC’s, firstly…

Yeah?

I think the Korean MC will be your older brother…

You think so?

Yeah…

And will he get along with your friend?

She’s married… She’s Taiwanese… she’s also a CPA in Australia…

What’s a CPA?

Certified Public Accountant.

Ohh… I think they will get along.

Right?!?!?!!? (LOLOLOLOLOLOL) And they both have that “organisation” kind of brain that you need for a good MC. You need someone who’s like, the time-keeper. The person to keep the show running. It’s not all creative — just keep things going.

Oh yeah. That’s a good idea. They will be good MC’s.

Yes… I don’t know if you want our guests to have… translation headsets?

Translation headsets?

Yeah… it’s like half the time? One half of the guests have to have it and then vice versa!

Right… so our guests will need translation headsets… what about subtitles?

I have no idea how you’re going to organise that…

OK — translation tasks. Let me worry about it.

Okay… good… umm…

How big is your guest list?

I don’t know…

Do you have a rough idea?

I was thinking… maybe the Chapel is a small group — honestly, I’ve just checked the website, it says “80 guests” — no. I’ve BEEN to a wedding trying to squeeze in even 50 guests in that chapel, it’s NOT COMFORTABLE when you try to squeeze too many in there. 40 is comfortable.

Oh… okay… why would they say 80 guests then?!

Maybe 80 x size 4 tiny zero percent body fat supermodels will be fine?!?!! But for NORMAL people!?!?!?!?! 40 is comfortable.

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) Who do you want at the chapel?

Hmmm….

  • International Friends x 10?
  • Work Friends x 5?
  • High School Friends x 5?
  • Childhood Friends x 10?

YOU HAVE TEN CHILDHOOD FRIENDS?!

I haven’t even finished my list…

YOUR WHOLE LIST IS TAKING UP THE SPACE OF THE ENTIRE CHAPEL

Okay, yeah… LOL… maybe we need a different chapel…

Who are the other people?

Taiwanese Buddhist friends… there’s also some overlaps in those groups so it might not even be that many…

You haven’t even counted family… it’s already going to be like, 60 people?

OKAY — Maybe that’s the Reception list. We’ll have to cull down from the Reception List to get to the Chapel List. Reception, fine. I don’t know, 100? My side?!

You think I have 100 people I’ll want to invite from my side?

Sure?!?!? Why not?!?! Isn’t that normal?!!?!?!

I don’t have that many friends…

Why not?!

I just don’t… I’m anti-social…

You work in an industry with so many — all sorts of people.

Yeah. And we’re work acquaintances. I’m not inviting them to my wedding.

Oh… okay… maybe 120 to 150 guests then? At the Reception?

Okay… maybe… or maybe it’s like 101… like I’ll have ONE friend

(LOLOLOLOLOL) You’re not THAT anti-social. What about your bros?

Okay, fine… 130… some bros and their wives… and other staff… I’ll invite some staff, some of them have been really good to me…

Okay?

The mutual friends are already in your list.

Well — some can choose to sit on your side of the chapel, and some can sit on my side of the chapel. How about the boys sit on your side and the girls sit on my side.

Okay…

(LOL)

I think that’s it?

Doggy?

No… he’s too old for a big event like a wedding…

He’ll be okay?

Yeah… dog sitter… he’ll be fine…

Okay… well he’ll need to be with the dog sitter anyway because we’re going to the Honeymoon straight away.

OH?!?!! STRAIGHT AWAY?!?!?!

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) I’m whisking you away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Devilish grin)
