Weddings Part II
Attending a wedding is like being handed a licence to act like a twat. Oh how I laughed when I sobered up and realised I'd nicked most of the plates and cutlery from the posh hotel lunch and those vague memories of stealthily exiting like a cat-burglar had in fact involved falling out of the hotel, knives and forks clattering onto the steps.

HK Weddings
For the most absurd and elaborately over-the-top weddings, you would struggle to beat Hong Kong. My wife's cousin lives there and got married a few years ago. Highlights included:
A ceremony held in a room so decked out with satin and bows it was like an inside-out (well, technically outside-in) Disney princess.
About 15 courses of beautiful food (this was the best part, obviously) rather annoyingly served with something resembling sunny-delight.
The bride and groom descending from the ceiling in a giant swan, scattering bon-bons to their assembled guests.
A stage-show in which members of the audience called-in to answer adverts placed in that day's newspaper and were answered on the stage.
A game in which the groom was blindfold and required to identify his new wife by touch, from a group of women including his mother-in-law!
No end of other shit that I didn't follow due to be conducted in Cantonese. The groom playing the saxophone was involved.
So, if you are looking for an over-the-top wedding, hire a HK wedding planner. They know their stuff!
