The year end is always the time for cheer. I guess this euphoria has caught up with many couples too as I have been spending all my weekends (except for one) attending wedding dinners all through the month. I have been receiving so many wedding invitations that I was worried that they might clash. Lol, red bombs yah but, I wanna attend all of them if I could! Thankfully, all of the weddings were miraculously spread out except for two which clashed - my relative's and my colleague's, in which I had to choose the former to attend.
The first wedding of the month was in Subang New Village. Tucked in a small corner in the outskirts, the wedding dinner was held at a Chinese seafood restaurant called Choong Foong Restaurant. The atmosphere is typical of a Chinese restaurant, complete with a small stage and a blasting karaoke set. True enough, many went up to demonstrate their vocal prowess or otherwise. Food was very very good; easily the tastiest amongts all that I have attended. On the way to the restaurant itself, we passed by many many seafood restaurants that looked so inviting! The only thing lacking here is the atmosphere. This is probably something mutually exclusive as I have yet to come across any that offer both except if you have the cash to spend. Then again, some may favour this kind of wedding reception in exchange for good food and a time of merriment (spell: karaoke session) with close friends and family members.

The second wedding that I attended was celebrated on a bigger scale, stretching up to three consecutive days in two different states. I can't imagine how tiring it must be for
both the bride and groom as I find the travelling kind of taxing. The wedding ceremony began in Penang with a buffet dinner in the bride's house, followed by a banquet in Equatorial Hotel on the second day. Then, it was all the way to the Shah Alam's Holiday Inn Glenmarie for the groom's side. The ambiance was there and guests were tastefully entertained by a string quartet and a live A cappella during the dinner reception.

On the fifth weekend of November, I attended another wedding in The Grand Imperial Ballroom (a Chinese restaurant) in Centro, a new shopping mall in Klang. This place has an interesting concept in which the ballroom is actually in the shopping mall itself. The ballroom was partitioned into two to accomodate two weddings at the same time. Good thing is they don't need to share the same stage.
With four wedding bells ringing throughout the month of November, I guess November must have been a good month for weddings, especially so for the Chinese who always value a good date for marriage.
