Were you even trying? at my wedding, I was having too
much fun to care. Except at the very end when I was tired
from a 4am to 4am stint.

My biggest regret from my wedding is that we were
so busy with the ceremonies, fun and games
that we did not get a decent chance to eat at
our own wedding feast.

And what good is a wedding without the feast?

Incidentally, that is how my friend summarized
his review of HAHK.
