a QUAINT small town wedding

I feel privileged and honoured to be invited to a good friend`s wedding in Taiping. She`s no spring chicken but she`s taken good care of herself lately by going to the gym and careful dietary plans. Weddings in small towns are so different from big cities. People here are more casual & so friendly. During the whole wedding, there was `live` singing, all courtesy of the parent`s friends and volunteers. The food was top notch, provided by Meridien, which according to a friend, has been in Taiping for a long long time. It started just an hour late ( in KL, it can be delayed for 90 minutes or more ) and finished about an hour later. I guess everyone in Taiping went thome that night satisfied from the experience of good food, singing & socialising. We swung by the bride`s house after dinner & chatted for a while. Unbeknownst to me, Taiping is actually quite a hot place to be in during the daytime, worse than KL. I thought taiping had the highest rainfall in all of M`sia & that should`ve brought down the temperature. Anyways, Taiping is a lovely town.
