Family Friendly wedding

With a girl who will kick up a fuss everytime I wanna bring her out and a baby who was circumcised just 2 days before, I wasn't sure that going to my secondary schoolmate's wedding was a good idea. Firstly, Tasha was at work . Secondly, it was at the other side of singapore and thirdly unlike a typical Malay wedding where you can come and go this was a church wedding which my 2 kids and I had to sit through for a period of time. I was fearful that kids would be disruptive so I actually checked with my friend to make sure that kids could come along.

Well, I should not have worried. I soon realised how family friendly a church set up is . Once I was there, I saw that the back seats are reserved for parents with kids ( and labelled too). That's good since it is easy for parents or kids to move in and out.

Then, if babies start to wail , which Akif did 30 min after the ceremony started cos he wants to be fed, there was this special room. It was like a room at the back ..with a glass screen ... you could still see the ceremony and hear what was going on as there were speakers inside but no one outside could hear you. The name of the room wasn't flattering but hey, it served its purpose.

And not only that there were also many books and toys in the room. Iffah even found a good book for babies ( those black white red kind ).

And in addition, the halal food was family friendly too. Iffah never eats the briyani or ayam masak merah during Malay weddings but she was happily lapping up the fried mee poh which was not spicy. So yup, it was indeed a lovely wedding ceremony and yay no tantrums or fussiness from my 2 kids either. Thanks Yaling , you really made me feel welcome!
