(Sigh) We’re really hyper-focusing…
On everything!!! Get it ALL OUT. During the planetary alignment! Let’s MANIFEST this!!!
(Laughing)
What cake do you want?
I have no idea… maybe it’s something we choose together?
Like on one of our dates?
Yes… it’ll be a date activity — after we’re officially engaged, not beforehand.
(Nodding)
Probably a lot of this is happening throughout 2026… so we can pace ourselves with it…
(Nodding) What cake do you want?
(Chuckles) I don’t know, I don’t really care! Do whatever you want, have a cheesecake?! Have cupcakes?! Have a doughnut wall?!?!
(Impressed expression?!) Do you want… ALL of those things?!
No?!?!!? That’s way too much!
Where did the doughnut wall idea come from?!
I’ve seen it somewhere… maybe a magazine, maybe social media? I can’t remember…
A doughnut wall…
Yeah? Maybe? I do love Krispy Kreme… can you get a Krispy Kreme doughnut wall instead of a wedding cake?!
Maybe…? But then… don’t we still have to cut through something together?!
Okay fine. Cheesecake. Maybe.
You want a wedding cheesecake?
Well… maybe? I don’t know. We’ll have to taste it together… you can’t just pick a cake based on Instagram pictures.
Okay… we’ll pick the cake together… any baker in mind?
… Are you really going to… contact them?
Who do you have in mind?
Well… just when you asked, suddenly… I had a sudden thought…
Who?
… Brooki…?
Brooki? Who is Brooki?
Brooki in Brisbane… on Tik Tok… I don’t know if she does cheesecake, though. It doesn’t have to be cheesecake. But also — she doesn’t do wedding cakes, she’s never advertised for that.
(Pencilling this into his new digital wedding planning folders) Brooki… in Brisbane… from Tik Tok…
If not her, then… any pastry chef that graduated from Le Cordon Bleu.
Oh, Le Cordon Bleu?
Yeah — okay, the menu has to be by Le Cordon Bleu chefs. How about that?
(Nodding)
Actually I have no idea if the Venue can accommodate that. Just the wedding cake. If Brooki can’t or won’t do it…
(Nodding) Anything else?
I don’t know… what else are you inferring?
Anything else about the wedding?
(Sigh)
Why are you sighing?
I’m not sure… if I’m being delirious…
What?
Would you participate in a Taiwanese tea ceremony with my parents?
(Smiling) Sure, why not?
I don’t know… it’s very Taiwanese… maybe kind of cringey…
Why cringey?!
I don’t know… it’s so cliché Taiwanese culture… (shudders)
I WANT TO DO IT.
Okay…? (Shrugs shoulders)
Is there anything… Korean… that I’ll have to do?
(Smiling) We’ll talk about that in person.
Okay?!
So… tea ceremony then… maybe… at the reception… before the wedding cake cutting. You have to do the tea ceremony. So there’ll need to be chairs and tea set somehow, on some kind of a stage or center dance floor area and then a spotlight, and then the tea ceremony begins — the Taiwanese MC can help to actually plan and orchestrate this part of it.
Ohhh… kay… TAIWANESE tea ceremony. With the TAIWANESE parents!
Why… are you getting so excited…?
Because I’m going to google it! I’m going to watch YouTube videos and learn about this!
Okay… I’m cringing…
Why are you cringing?!
I don’t know… it’s soooooo. typical “Taiwanese” wedding…
(Smiling) WE WILL DO IT. I want to do it!!! Do it. FOR ME.
(Sigh) Okay… I’ll do it for you…
…
…
…
You’ll have kneel down, and serve them tea, you know?
You have to be at ground level with your kneeling. You have to bow your head. You have to be sincere.
THAT’S EVEN MORE REASON WHY I WANT TO DO IT.
Okay… (Sheesh!)… So… we’ll do that then…
I’m really feeling happy about this.
Okay…? Well… I guess that’s it?
What about our dance?
Our dance?
Are we going to have a dance?
(Cringing) Ugh… do we… have to…?
I want to — do you want to?
(Shaking head) Not… really… (FULLY CRINGING)…
Hmm… what if you just sit there and I dance AROUND you…?
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) Please don’t! That’s SO embarrassing for me!!!
(Laughing) Okay but we have to have a DANCE.
Do we, though?!?! There’s many weddings I’ve been to where they didn’t bother to dance… it’s just YOU wanting to DANCE!!!
(Laughing) Well.. I’m still me…
How about… you and your bros… dance…? For us…? As a “gift”…?
You’d rather that?
Yes… and if you REALLY want to… you can sing as well…
Oh…
Yes, please. Go — you and your bros. I’m not dancing… not with everyone watching me and all that. I don’t want to do it. I’m shy.
(Smiling)
Me and the bros… we’ll think about it…
Okay. Good. Thanks. I don’t want to dance with you with everyone watching…
(Smiling) Not even a slow waltz…?
Ugh… can we discuss this again in 2026? I just can’t commit to that idea right now at this moment…
What if… you don’t have to do anything. I’m just holding you. Your hands are holding my hands. Just let me lead… it’ll be a nice, slow dance… like a slow waltz type of dance…
Maybe…
We don’t even need rehearsals. I’ll LEAD that dance…
Okay… yeah… just a slow dance… not more than 2 minutes, that song.
2 MINUTES???!?!?!
Yes, or even a minute and a half. I DON’T WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY FOR THAT LONG!!!
(Deep breaths) Okay… two and a HALF minutes…
Maybe.
Compromise?
Fine.
2 minutes and 15 seconds, we will dance.
