[Before all of you think I’ve gone all pansy-brained, this blog post is triggered by a Facebook link by Serih. Dude, you nailed it in the head, man!]

All these years, I’ve always had a particular wedding in mind (ingat perempuan je ke ada dream wedding? On second thoughts, don’t answer that) which is kinda apt when I’ve had a particular woman in mind to share my life with for the rest of my life. To all you traditionalists, not to worry, the beriman / sayang keluarga / hormat orang tua / boleh masak kow-kow / intelligent categories are in the list.

But I’m sure those of you close to me know that I just go gaga for women who play musical instruments.

The naysayers would pontificate on my desire of finding a partner who is similar to me in many aspects. But to have a wife who says “Let’s check out that new Mesa Stilletto head at Bentley” just after a facial (not THAT facial lah, demit) in Bangsar – boleh cair, beb. Imagine her jamming with the mates and instead of the “You ni tak habis-habis jamming. Bila you nak bawak I nak pegi Pavillion nak tengok handbag tu, nanti sold out bla bla bla” rant. A hot woman who’s comfortable to be with the lads without looking like she has a moustache and god knows what else.

I have to admit that this ‘dream wedding’ of mine is not fully imagined yet (what’s the point when I am still womanless) although after seeing photos of a few weddings of friends, I kinda know what I want and I bloody know what NOT to have. No names, obviously. But the post-dinner entertainment is what I’ve always had in mind. My family (especially those from my late mom’s side) love a good laugh whenever there’s live music (to those who have been to my niece‘s wedding last year can attest to this), so I think I could pull this off.

As opposed to have some wedding band, I would love to have a bunch of friends (I’m proud to have friends which span a generation who could play) play music with me and the new missus jamming along. And when Serih tagged me in the Facebook link to this video, I was just gobsmacked to the max:

Imagine doing this at the Carcosa Sri Negara Dewan Komuniti TTDI. Although I have to say I’ll probably be wearing my tanjak when I wield my four-string and the missus will be drumming / playing her guitar in her McQueen Radzuan Radziwill dress. To Lamb Of God’s Redneck. OK lah, the Foos’ The Pretender. And when Imran and friends play Fleetwood Mac’s Need Your Love So Bad, I’ll have my first dance with the missus.

What are the chances of me finding a woman of this proportion (I’ve to say the bride in the video is quite lawa. *sigh* Can play TWO instruments some more, meh)? People say I am TOO choosy (I hate it especially when those going tut-tut have hot wives themselves – kita punya taste nak letak di pajak gantung je ke?). Well, I deserve the right to be. At the end of the day, dia bini gua kan?
