Perspective

Before this summer, it has been a while since I last attended a wedding reception. The most recent one would be around four years ago, perhaps. In fact, that's not quite recent enough...

Being able to attend four wedding receptions this time around, I would say that my perspective on such event has changed a lot. The way I see things now and then are worlds apart and I just couldn't help but to notice it myself.

I found myself paying attention to details like the dais, the food, the emcee, the seating arrangements, the outfits, the door gifts, and the event itinerary too! It's like I am mentally taking notes for my own wedding - which would not happen anytime soon - subconsciously. My mom and I even discussed things about MY wedding, which is odd!!

The fact that the topic came up naturally sort of freaked me out.

Perhaps, it's the 'coming-of-age' phenomenon that's affecting my mind. It's realizing that now, I am attending weddings of people who are actually of my age, slightly older or younger even.

This is me, taking in the fact that I am no longer a child, and in actuality, old enough.
Old enough that I should probably act my age more, however that is.
