Only found out the day before (two days tops) that future cousin-in-law's family was throwing a lunch reception in Jenjarom before the actual wedding on the 10th. The sibling only found out as we were about to leave. In my dad's side of the family, short notice wedding receptions are a thing... or the relations down there only remembered to let my dad know about these things a little late. I've already missed a few of the cousins' weddings because of this, most recently because of my prior travel arrangements.
I was also not told what the actual dress code was because south of KLIA the dress code for wedding receptions seem to be cheap polos and cargo shorts... Or as I would call it, "Tanjung Sepat formal". I wasn't too sure how formal it was so I settled for a dressier top and jeans but not in sneakers.
Despite leaving PJ at noon, we were only just in time as it supposedly starts at 1 p.m. Of course it was held in a swanky school hall/event space. We got parking at the primary school next door.
As the eldest uncle, the 'rents got seated at the main table (grandmother was not there for health reasons), while the sibling and I were at another table with our own extended family (there were at least a couple of tables). I found out a lot of things that day: her name, for one. And that the cousin was a Coke fan.
Food was edible. The entertainment was erm, interesting: the emcee/entertainment was really Jack of all trades, singing and hosting. It even became a bit of a drag act toward the end as he was dressed in drag toward the end of the meal and was going around the room letting people squeeze the squeaky tatas.
