Jiney's Wedding

Mison, Amellie, Jason and me who are all from HTA, where we are studying for a Diploma course together, went to a place called 'Wynnum Manly Leagues Club' to congratulate the Jiney's wedding.

We got there and saw the place and were all surprised by the size of the league club which was way beyond our expectation. It was huge.

The ground Flore was composed of a big bar where some people were watching a horse racing or a cricket game on the big screen TVs that hang on the walls here and there, a couple of gaming rooms that housed a lot of pokies which seemed to be eating away the pocket money from the aged and a terrace where you can have some beer while you are enjoying footy taking place just before your eyes.

The wedding hall was in the second Flore and nobodies there as we arrived except for the groom who greeted us with the normal smile you can get when you first meet a person you don't know very well. We found Jiney's parents inside the hall standing stiffly to meet guests who I assume took a long flight from Korea to see their daughter's second wedding in Australia being followed by the first one held in Korea. We exchanged a short greeting each other which failed to produce an warm atmosphere and took seats arranged for us.

Honestly, I thought the wedding would be boring as the ones of Korean and it turned out to be it is half true. We just sat back and talked to someone we only have met before or at least heard of from someone we know. From time to time, we did clapping for the music from the band called 'That's 60s' whose name is so obvious you don't have to think about too much to guess what their repertoire is. The songs were proved to be not so bad. When we were not doing both of them, the only thing we can do in an extent of normal behaviour was eating.

The best part of the wedding was definitely the special song sung by the groom after his speech which was a bit boring. The performance produced by the groom which I suppose a huge effort might have been needed was something that I would never forget. Even there were some bride's mates who had tears in their eyes as the song took up the big hall as if they are the bride it was aimed at.

Regardless whether I enjoyed the wedding or not, I do hope and believe the marriage will last for hundreds and thousands years to come. Congratulation Jiney and Imre!
