Last week I went to a wedding of a colleague. The wedding was very beautiful, and done very well. It was a Catholic wedding, and it was an interesting insight to how different cultures and different religions conduct matrimonial ceremonies. It was also pretty long, but this kind of wedding had many facets to it, so everything had to be done in a certain order.
Last night I attended another wedding, the wedding of James and Christie. James has been a long time friend, he more or less got me interested in the beautiful game of cricket, and we play indoor cricket together every week. I first remembered meeting Christie around 5 years ago, and I knew that these guys would get married someday.
The ceremony was short and sweet. Afterwards during the photo sessions outside the church, I managed to bump into Louise Mackenzie, or Ms Mackenzie, my accounting teacher during 7th form. It was quite a surprise that she still recognised me as I had trouble recognising her at first. She no longer teaches at Massey. She described to me that I looked more grown up, so I guess that is good! She has the memory of an elephant; she recalled the time I won a scholarship and that I worked at Warehouse Stationary, events like that I don't bother to remember. The funny thing is that she admitted to me that accounting is a boring subject, there's nothing interesting about it. However it's the teaching aspect that hits her buttons. I wonder the same about the computing job that I'm doing now. It pays good money, that certainly hits my buttons. But, like Ms Mackenzie said, I'm also getting slightly bored with it.
The reception was held near the Viaduct. Good food, good wine, good company (mostly sat with indoor cricket teammates/high school mates). I managed to stay right till the end of the reception, around 1 am in the morning.
Overall I had a good time and I wish James and Christie all the best as a married couple.
