Christof's Wedding Dinner @ Yatch Club

It was actually a rather stressful evening for me - being the ameturish MC of a friend's wedding dinner.

Only 2 days ago I was told in more details about the wedding proceedings. And only at that time the real stress starts to set in.

I spent the whole weekend scribing the speech and looking up and down for wedding jokes / stories / touching things to say during various stages of the night.

Remember a month ago, when I am presenting the WITs team project, big big boss told me to scribe my speech down for consistency 3 times and i pretend to forgot about it. Now it's a friend's wedding dinner and I am panicking...omg...I am getting my priorities wrong in life!!!

So in the end I start my speech as : "One of the reasons Christof picked me as the MC...is because I am a Hainanese...in the local dialect circle, we are known as the Chinese German."

Tried 3 sentances of German in my speech also. The German tutor gave up on me I guess...she told me that : " well I guess a German will be able to understand what u are trying to say."

This is the wedding joke that I used :

"A Man merres a woman...hopeing that after the marriage, she will never ever change a bit.
Woman marries a man...hoping she can slowing change him bit by bit...for the better.
It the end...both are equally dissappointed."

By the cake cutting part, I discovered that I was actually sweating uncontrollably and my new shirt is soaking wet. The last time like that is during the CNY gathering...

There is abit of hiccups here n there...because Christof do not believe in reharsal...but in the end I would say it was a very enjoyable night for all. The food is fantastic and weeding cake baked by Christof's mum is very delicious too!

I managed to get a chance to sip some champane due to my duty as MC too. A bonus.

Christof was a busy and tired man that night. He was abit dissappointed that many left so early...by 10pm.

Cannot understand his mum but from the way she was gaticulating...she may be saying that :
"hey, this is the time we suppose to listen to music and dance the night away for a wedding dinner."

Christof passed me a surprise gift the next day...Settlers boardgame!!!
Consider that as a handsome reward for a amaturish performance. Hope he does have a better MC in Germany. Good luck Christof!!
