During a recent wedding dinner, our group of friends were seated together and our conversation somehow ventured into marriage. Well, 2 of them were married and this conversation cannot be avoided.
KW: “Man, this bride is going to be a tough cookie.”
ML: “Yup, she is very controlling and she will definitely not getting along with the mother-in-law.”
ME: “Yup. Maybe she will start giving the groom RM7 daily allowance. RM2 for toll and RM5 for lunch.”
[Everyone laughed]
JW: “No lah! Actually she changed a lot!”
ML: “Oh yeah? Like how?”
JW: “She definitely changed already. Now she’s even more strict!”
[Again, we all laughed.]
IL: “Of course. You think everyone is like my wife? She doesn’t check my credit card statements, she won’t go through my stuff, and she won’t ask me where I went if I went home late.” [When he was saying this, he put his hand on his wife's lap]
ME: “Basically what you are saying is that your wife doesn’t give a shit about you?”
[More laughter]
IL’s wife was just sitting next to me, and she hit me with a fist and laughed. IL said, “No dude, this is call mutual respect!”
We are such a bunch of bastards for making jokes on the groom and bride during their wedding dinner. But we were not far from truth and we were just being honest to ourselves.
