message from Than-I on facebook to me, King J. and Z.:
"Girls and boy, please take a seat! Since you haven't visited Cyprus YET, F. and I decided to give you a good opportunity. We booked a nice church yesterday for the 5th of October and you are all invited."
Hurraaaaay!! Finally I can go to Cyprus yippy!!! Why do they book a church... I was wondering... doesn't matter. Ecstatic I answered: "I'll be there!! Legend -wait for it- dary-wise I'll be there!"
Still no clue about the church though, but who cares! I'm going to Cyprus with my friends! Sun, sea, beach, warm weather and meeting Than-I again after such a long time. I LOVE it :)
A bit later: "C.! We need a bachelorette party!!!"
Wait a sec... church, invitations, bachelorette party... ... ... *my mind started working* *pieces of a puzzle* *sudden illumination*
OMG!!!! She's getting MARRIED!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Wow... this is big! And wonderful! I am SO happy for her!
And to be honest, I spent some working hours by talking on fb about the wedding, the dress, the shoes, the bachelorette party... Practically anything! Shared excitement counts as triple excitement!

message from Than-I on facebook to me and Z. (I read the whole conversation later)
-[story about the dress and the idiocracy of some wedding store ladies wanting to put 1.60m Than-I in a tent]
-[discussion about heels which I don't really understand *hey, don't blame me, I'm 1.80m... with heels I'll bump my head to a basketball hoop...]
-[communicating our travel intentions to go for one week]
-[planning a bachelorette party]
AND the following question by Than-I:
"Actually... I had an idea, for both of you. What if, you are my equivalent of the best man and the obligations are looking gorgeous beside me in the church..."
When I read this conversation six hours later and this part in particular I literally, but really literally screamed out my joy *my landlord came up to check if I was ok ^_^*!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
So honoured I could cry! Overjoyed!
Three day later I booked my tickets to Cyprus *another day later I left for Vietnam :)
October 5
After two days of siteseeing, sunbathing - in the cold, cause according to Cypriot terms it was -, driving on the left - nothing to it, just mirror everything and you're on your way- and especially eating *thank you all deeply for the most amazing food*, it's wedding day!!!
before the wedding
the girls to Than-I for dress and make-up fun; King J. to the guy's party. And Milano the cat had a bow tie!! And the cars a giant tiara and equally big hat!
on the way to the wedding
blowing the horn of the car for twenty minutes all the way from the houses to the church! *OMG I love this :D :D hahaha*
very very close to the wedding
reassuring the groom that his bride is on her way :)
the wedding
the ceremony - of which I didn't understand a word... it's in Greek, what did you expect - was absolutely beautiful and gorgeous and full of meaning and traditional gestures and...
*too bad I missed the last part... damn you lack of oxygen :( *
right after the wedding
my most favourite part - next to bachelorette parties - burrying the happy newlyweds in a storm of rice and rose peddles
and for the 600th time making fun of the photographer who must be in more or less EVERY picture EVERY friend/relative/colleague/invitee/... took
in between the wedding and ze parteeeeee
wedding pictures of the happy couple AND their friends in a bar - in comparison to the 95% of the Cypriots who's wedding album exists only of pictures taken in Lefkara (we saw already three brides and grooms in the half hour we visited the place later), VERY VERY VERY original
a summary of ze parteeeeee:
- cutest wedding cakes EVER
- after an hour of shaking hands and efharisto'ing for all the lazazizou's - the privilege of being maid of honour - Z. and I helped the bride with a bit of dress cleaning
- and then... fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! let's storm that buffet!!
- live band and a bit of shaking - when they packed I had the idea the party was dying a bit but then...
- ... Cypriot DJ took over and the room exploded - I did NOT expect this :O
- the groom and one of his friends ran into the sea - h i l a r i o u s !
- the feeling that I should add 'attending a Greek wedding' to my bucket list just to take it off
this was absolutely totally over the top amazingly wonderfully fantasticly LEGENDARY!
sweeties, I wish you all the happiness in the world! don't think you'll need it though, being so happy with each other already ;)
