Bouquet-ed

Last weekend I went for a friend's wedding. And we were even sticking around till the bouquet throwing/catching ceremony.

I for one, never like catching any bouquet. One likes flower, one go buy, one dont go to wedding ceremonies and catch em.

So, being a good sport and hoping the ritual would be over fast, I quickly took a good spot where I know for certain I wont be catching anything.

And I saw only another gal standing beside me.

So I looked at her, and she looked at me, and I said, "Hey, it's either you or me (who caught the flower)".

The chance was pretty high, like 50-50. It made me broke a sweat.

Then the other single sisters took their places with us, which makes me less hemorraging.

I looked around, hey, there's only like 5 gals standing!

And I thought that I would have a good spot, apparently since there's 5 of us only, we stood in one fine line like akin to those prisoners of war standing before the firing guards.

Breaking a sweat as the chance was still pretty high, like 20% of either one of us catching the bouquet, I made sure I was standing at a spot where there's less percentage of catching one unless it's being thrown intentionally straight at me.

While the bouquet flew in the air, I heard myself going "Aaaah!" like the rest of the gals, except it wasnt a happy excited I-m-gonna-catch-it "Aaaah!", it was actually more of a horror I-really-dont-want-to-catch-it "Aaaah!".

Analysing the position of the bouquet in the air, I said to my friend, "Zin, catch!" which she did but let go.

I swore we laughed for a while contemplating not catching the flower, as other gal picked the flower from the ground and everyone decided who actually did caught it, I said, "Zin, you touched it. It's urs."

Hooray went into the air, everyone congratulated her, as she dazed her way thru.

Reality wise, perhaps it wasnt that funny for the person who caught it, but in my mind, that's what stuck.

My friend was bouquet-ed.

We will laugh off this event next year, or we will congratulate her on her wedding day, who knows.

Till then, it was a good laugh.
