Mr.KIA: Wedding Studio

Mr.KIA: Wedding Studio

February 23rd, 2008

Dear Mr. KIA: After five years away, my sister has just come back home and announcedshe and her (lucky) farang fi ancé are planning a wedding ceremony sometime next month! As jealous as I am of both of them, I try real hard to be nice. I even asked if there’s anything I can help with. It turns out that she’s given me a long to-do list, which makes me feel sorry I volunteered. But I can’t take back my offer, so Mr.KIA, can I just hire someone to do the dirty work? Do you happen to know a good wedding planner at a reasonable price?—You Couldn’t Be So Cruel

Dear YCBSC: To you, this wedding probably means your sister is prettier, nicer, and has enough good qualities to bag a guy while you don’t. But seriously, weddings only exist to depress all of us who are alone and bitter in this world. By the way, would it be OK if I emailed you back with my phone number? What was your question again? Oh, yeah. Marriage planners. Who knows, this could be of some use for me one day.
