![]() In this wedding, I totally forget what they used for it but as there was no handy cash for the groom and bride, we considered one little glass used as door gift was equivalent to S$10. And the couple had to pay cash to break the rope! Just a way of torturing them before their exciting night. Whenever the newly wed is about to enter their bedroom for that night, the close friends and relatives draw a line with any kind of rope – golden necklaces in most cases, sometimes they go wild with belts and anything that is considered rope. It is called “Kyoe-Tar” which can be directly translated into “Blocking with rope”. We touched up with Myanmar traditional wedding custom for the end of the event. Imagine how it would look like the bride saying those sentences to direct the groom! In our particular one, the groom went drunk just by some cups forced by friends, it was much more difficult for him to reach her. But to make things fun, we swapped with instructions with some other wedding related liners which finally became The bride would have to instruct the groom to come to her by directing “go left”, “go right”, “walk straight”, “move backward” and “stop”. A friend of groom took him to somewhere far from the stage. We asked the bride to stand near the stage and blind-folded the groom. ![]() It sounds simple but very engaging and every audience will find it fun. ![]() For the “come to wife” game, I found it from a Youtube clip of a wedding in Malaysia if I’m not wrong. If you don’t know what is “Shoe game” at a wedding, just google it. We had prepared two lovely games – an ordinary shoes game and “come to wife”. But everybody did not take it seriously which we had to thank a lot! When the couple actually came out, it was all smooth until the DJ forgot to play the chosen song while the second clipping was being streamed. Long story short, we checked the stage, had a short discussion with event supervisor, prepared for songs and did a quick rehearsal with microphones. Furthermore, I even failed to let her do the eyeliner for waterline. On that day, she could neither curl my eyelashes nor put the fake lashes on. I am one of such weird girls whom make-up artists find very difficult to help with. I took half-day leave from office to make it on time to go for make-up. So, the wedding day came (it actually came not like in last paragraph, lol). We commented for a couple of dishes, I personally enjoyed that dinner. It might even cost more there to throw a wedding party but no hotel would provide you such service which I find awesome. Believe me, there’s no such thing in Myanmar. Oh, about a week before the wedding day, the couple invited us to join food testing with them. We found a nice coat for him, too.Īnd so the wedding day came. I was looking for a nice dress, I wanted it to be in some bright colour but ended up with picking up a black one because I do not want to be too obvious in the whole wedding. Then we had to go for shopping for both of us. Just not to disappoint the bride and groom, we did make effort to study the lines by-heart but couldn’t make it for all sentences. We had finished the script a week before but could spend only about two nights (i.e. After adding up his idea and some jokes I could think of, the script had looked good. I had to take bits by bits from here and there to complete our very own bilingual wedding script. The problem was that the westernish guides for being emcees were prefect but not really suited for their kind of Myanmar, Singapore-ish wedding and the customised Singapore wedding script were meant for Chinese couples. Not because my English pronunciation was good but because he didn’t want to study by-heart the polished words and sentences good for a wedding. ![]() Still, the wedding emcee thing was too far away from us especially when we didn’t know how a usual Wedding goes here.Īs there would be two emcees, we didn’t need to argue that I would handle English announcements while he would do for Burmese. Thank to the public speaking training at Yangon University of Foreign Languages, precisely Japanese Department, I am never afraid of presentation. The ridiculous thing was we had never been to any kind of wedding in Singapore yet my b.f’s friends believed us to be the emcees at their wedding! And we knocked our head at once.
