It was another Bali wedding. You would think I would be getting tired of them, but that wasn't the case at all. Every wedding had enjoyed a beach and tropical vibe, so there were certain things that didn't change. That didn't seem to make any of them less enjoyable. They were always a happy occasion, with everyone in a good mood, with the holiday vibe adding to all round good spirits.
This wedding had one extra special element compared to the previous Bali weddings I had attended. This one was full of children. There had been kids at all of the previous weddings, but nothing like this. There were babies, infants, small kids, bigger kids all running around as the wedding was about to start. Ryan and Jess were well aware of the crowd, and had even arranged a large room at the back for all the kids to rest and relax. It added an extra family feel to the entire festive mood.
The wedding was lovely and it was amazing to see Ryan and Jess so happy together. A lot had changed for them since we were all together in Hong Kong. We were all happy to see them after they had moved, so this wedding had been the perfect opportunity for a reunion.
After dinner, as the wedding continued into the night, those of us with kids arranged for the kids to be taken back to the villas. Veronica took Pickle back to the villa to be looked after before she came back to join in the rest of the party.
Everyone was drinking and dance. It was a great time, but I felt is harder than any previous wedding. Life with a child is an energy consumer. Even as other continued to enjoy the party, I could feel my strength waning. We stayed just a little bit longer, before we decided it was time for us to go back to the villa to sleep.
