Our trip to KK for Lynn's wedding can be described in one word - fast. The wedding went as planned and so many turned up for the evening reception that there was no way to find friends. Relatives from my dad's side of the family came with lots of tapai (local rice wine) to drink and think everyone had a sip from specially made bamboo glasses.
Thomas started out looking very smart in his pageboy outfit but as he fell asleep when we arrived in church, he didn't make it for the aisle procession. Then because there was no air-conditioning in the church, my boy ended up so hot and sweaty he decided it was more fun playing with his little Emirates plane and eating raisins!
Anyhow, Lynn looked beautiful in her gown and was almost in tears as she recited her vows. Someone made a kiss sound over the microphone just as Vijay was about to give Lynn a kiss on the cheek as instructed by the priest (!) which shocked not only Vijay but also the priest. As is was a wedding blessing i.e. not full service, the whole thing was finished in less than an hour and we were off to my mum's house for the luncheon. The heavy downpour that arrived with the bridal car did not hamper our celebration and so it was on with the sosopon (drinking tapai from the huge jars with bamboo straws).
KK had changed in the short time since we've been away for the better - traffic less conjested due to opening of bypass. Anyhow, even though there was rain some days it was so good to wake up to blue skies and no pollution.
