1035th Entry
I agree with what Jenna said.
Most Singaporeans do not know how to dress for wedding ceremonies.
I was quite dulan when some people asked me "Why cannot wear jeans har?" and "Why cannot wear white har?".
It's common sense to know that one should not wear white or black (will touch on black later on) to attend weddings. Most brides would wear white (or off-white/ivory/cream) gowns on their special day and by wearing white as a guest would somehow upstage the couple. It will somehow grab the attention away from the bride. Or you (females) could even be mistaken as the bride for those who have never seen her before (like in the case of relatives). And you could try placing yourself next to her and see if you would feel awkward since both of you are in white.
It's advisable not to wear black, especially so if you're an Asian Chinese. Black is not considered auspicious. And for most of us, black is a mourning color. Dan and I are okay as long as our guests don't turn up in their mourning suits. If there's nothing else but black dresses in your wardrobe, adorn yourself with bright colored accessories or a nice hair band with it. =)
For guys, shirts are the minimal. Pants preferably. Ties are optional. Dan's groomsmen are wearing ties to distinguish themselves from the guests. (Winston has his blazer but knowing that Kun doesn't have one, I told Win to just wear his black shirt with his pink tie. He said he wanted to match Jo's pink long dress. How sweet these 2 are!) And I am very happy that Winston and Jo have picked on what to wear on that day and told me way in advance.
There shouldn't be any jeans that day. No clubbing attire, no sexy/slack/punk look.
Sheesh.
It's a sacred ceremony!!!! Why would one dress unfit for a holy matrimony?
Even if you are not sure what to wear, please... Google it. Do your own research/homework and if you are still in doubts, ask the couple for opinion. The couple are already busy with organizing their own stuff and doing preparations. We do not always have the time to answer your questions. Please act with understanding and consideration. We also need the time to relax before the big day too!
Bottom line, the bride and the groom are supposed to be the center of attraction on that day. How would you feel if your friends/relative gather around some other prettier/handsome-r individuals instead of you?
And I'm quite pissed when people do not RSVP by the stated date.
Is it that hard to reply when I have given more than 3 weeks of time for you to think about it?
A bride is mostly stressed due to all these minor and yet irritating issues. I wonder why aren't' the guests thinking for her.
And girls, do pick your Maid of Honor way before you choose your bridesmaids. M.O.H. is always your best friend, sister and listener from the start of the wedding preparations to the end.
Kudos to Jo who always never fail to listen to my whining/woes/disappointment!
