Wedding Day

The lights were dimming, the music was blasting, and the MC was rowdying up the crowd to welcome the newly weds. Confetti and streamers were launching into air as the guests banged away on their cups and plates... the couple proudly breezed through the center of the banquet hall, down the center of the dance floor, and to the stage upfront dancing to their first dance. Everyone was cheering them on... clapping to the beat of the music...

Weddings... many people I know dread going to weddings... they remind them of themselves mostly and usually not the good things either...

I'm 30 years old this year... I should be married and with first child by now according to the Chinese standards... wait another few years and I would be a misfit.

I couldn't help yesterday (10/08/2006), but to picture how my wedding day would be... if I ever have one. Would I have a banquet hall filled with guests? Would there be guests at all...?? Afterall, I am gay. How does a gay wedding even work? Would I be the one tossing the bouquet of flowers or the one reaching for the garter? Hmmm... would there be a bouquet of flowers or a garter?? I dunno.

I guess I really shouldn't be thinking about my wedding day... I mean... gay marriage isn't even legal.
