Just attended our first smarky's wedding dinner on sunday night at Conrad. Enjoyed chatting and suan-ing each other at the table haha~ And I sort of can imagine the same's gonna happen for my wedding dinner too.

Throughout the dinner, I was taking little notes in my brain... The whole time I was thinking... 'If it was my wedding, I would...." Crazy crazy me~

I liked the way the dishes were separated into little dishes for individuals. That would be nice if not everyone at the table knows each other. But this took time off from the servers and prevented them from refilling our drinks.

There's one thing that I am always very particular about and that is having an empty glass during the toasting. It will be super embarassing to be holding an empty glass and saying YUM SENG but not being to even sip something out of the glass.

During the dinner, I realised that the MC plays a very very important part in the wedding. Its their responsibility to create the ambience or environment of the whole event. If you have a joker as MC, that would be nice as it lightens up the solemn mood. But how much he/she can joke is the key. Funny is ok. Cheesy / crappy is not!

But if you have a MC that reads from the script and nothing more, then it becomes a really boring evening. If I really have to choose between the two... Oh man~ I cant decide~

I have done MC-ing for 2 weddings and I can't say that I belong to the joker category. I usually leave that to the guy and just go along with the flow. But that will only work well if I know the guy beforehand, where I could predict the kind of jokes he would crack.

Anyway, I've been asked to be the MC for my good friend's wedding coming early december. I hope I will be able to find a balance between funny and boring. One thing that worries me now is that I do not who I'm partnering with. Gosh~
