There is something about attending weddings as you grow older.
Firstly, I'm more choosy about whose wedding I want to attend. Not all invites get accepted and I only go for the ones who matter to me.
Secondly, as we grow older the more fun these weddings become. Probably due to the third reason. Hence it's something I look forward to more compared to last time.
Thirdly, weddings are slowly turning into nostalgic get-togethers now rather than purely to celebrate the couple's union. Every wedding is a chance to meet old friends and catch up with old friends, get the latest updates and see how everyone is doing.
Fourthly, old jokes never get old. One thing that made such an impression last night was a refreshment of so many good old jokes from way back when. From the almost original renditions of 欠扁问答题 to recounting uni days experiences, to teasing each other about ex-gfs (hate that! But even the groom couldn't escape!) and then going on to be mean about everyone anyway haha.
It's amazing how childish we all can be when around the right company.
These things don't happen often anymore so they need to be treasured. They help us house a tiny part of our lives that we can relive from time to time. Weddings are getting lesser and lesser as we grow older for such congregations.
And that's why we always need to make more effort the older we get.
