72) I think I make a pretty good best man (:

So the start of this little story probably begins last Friday. As I found out that rehearsals we're not on this Sunday which meant that I was going to be going with my family to Ulladulla for some wedding. So come Sunday morning, Suit pants, Long sleeved shirt and black skinny tie. The usual dress for a wedding, yes? So we made our way to Ulladulla, stopping at Macca's because my little brother was hungry, Then continuing to the Church in Milton. Fairly straightforward so far? Well we get there with no problems and I see a whole bunch of Vietnamese people I don't know. Not really a surprise, I kinda expected as much. Well I walk down there with my Dad and they start talking in Vietnamese. Then I start hearing them talk about me, This may come as a surprise but I was the tallest Vietnamese person there, saying how tall I was and how big I'd gotten and then complimenting my dad on how he has such a handsome son. The usual spiel I get from these kinda people. So the Groom comes up to my Dad and I'm pretty sure he asks him to be the Best man, mind you this is hell short notice cos the wedding was about to start in like 5 minutes, So my dad decides to palm it off to me. Thanks dad. So me and my infinite knowledge of weddings has somehow managed to arrive at a wedding were I know only a few people and am expected to fill the role of the Best man. Oh Boy!

Okay well no biggy I'll just wing it, not like I had a choice though :s So the bridesmaid I was with, Denny, Didn't know what she was doing either, Mainly cos she's never been in a church before, she told me as we were about to start. Well she was actually quite pretty, don't know how old she is though, she was shorter than me and wuite petite, but that's all I could discern. So the ceremony took place, Me and Denny had to get up a few times here and there. Then the weirdest thing happened, I suppose not really weird, I had to sign my name on the Marital document. So I thought to myself, Okay Vietnamese wedding, Vietnamese couple, i'll sign with my Vietnamese name. So I go to write it, Ta Tan Hy(shit wrong letter, oh well try and make a quick recovery) ynh Anh (my Vietnamese name is Ta Tan Huynh Anh). So I spelt my name wrong haha I suppose it didn't really matter, The fact that I signed it is good enough. So after that we went to the Ulludulla Palace which is a restaurant one of my relatives owns. Had lunch there and then after everything was done went home.

Pretty good day, until I had to come home, get changed and go to work ): Because my Grandparents are overseas I had to work the front by myself. Is very boring but I suppose I didn't really mind, If I wasn't working I'd have to be doin my homework. My iPhone definitely made the night go by faster, I bought the phone the other day off my Aunt Trinh who works in Phone Zone, excellent saleswoman (: So yeh had some fun with that while I was waiting for food to be cooked, customers to eat etc.

I like weddings, I'm pretty keen for my own (: I know that's years off but it's nice to think about. I think I'll be a dad before I'm an Uncle. Anyways, I think I've talked enough.

Anthony (:
