I won't lie, I have got caught up in the hype of people sometimes. Really, really believing what they say, you know ... expecting a great deal out of them and phew! nothing, nada... just "B.S"ing at its best.
One of the worst ones that really made me sit up was a wedding I went to last year. I was wrong on my own part sah because I hate to admit it but I wasn't invited. Haa, sigh of relief... finally said it. I know, I know but at my core, I don't still believe in these attendance by invitations only weddings. I mean ... I know nobody had unlimited funds but its seems pretty mean to me. I will be too glad that people took time out of their busy schedule to come to my wedding so ain't no way, I am turning them away.

Anyway, back to my shameful experience. The was a lot of hype, hype, hype about the wedding. Don't want to give too many details away but bloggers were going to be there, fashionistas etc and "professional people" So knowing the bride, sent out an email and prepared to go to the wedding.

Man, talk about embarrassing.. I went up to the bride and said congrats, she just answered very coolly. At the receptions, name dropping after name dropping yet the food was so tiny, the music was so dry. The clothes were so unimpressive. Mind you, I'm not even big on a lot of stuff but it was the noise and hype about this wedding that made me have an expectations. And were those expectations crushed. People were so fixated on titles but it was so boring. I haven't been to a wedding so boring in ages.

The decorations were parse, the wedding cake was like a Sam's club cake. It was weird, all I could think was ... whats going on?.

My beau and I quickly hightailed it as soon as we could and went to a ... McDonalds cos were we so starving.

So the moral of the story is .. "mo gbo, mo ya (or whatever that is) days are over. If you don't have an IV in hand, sit you ass at home!!!!!!

First time I have shared this story, for a long time I was so embarrassed to talk about it.
