3.0 SCRIPT
Introduction (all members)

Narrator (Irfan): All right, guys, our role play will reflect the process that a family goes
through during wedding preparation. So sit back, and hopefully, you guys will enjoy it.

Scene 1 [inside the house]

Matthew(groom): Mom and dad. Elena's parents will show up at any moment. Please
use a calm or low tone when they arrive.

Arsy (Father): Alright, son, we'll speak in a quiet tone. I hope they'll approve all of our
proposals for your wedding.

Athiyah (Mother): Yes, later I will use a low tone. Evan, don't forget to provide
information regarding our plans later for your wedding.

Scene 2 [inside the house, open the door for in-laws]

Matthew(groom): Hi honey, It's 6 p.m. already. Where are you? … hah, what's wrong?
Why can't you come here? Alright, so it's only your parents who will come to my house
right now. Okay, I'll tell my dad that your parents are already here.

Matthew (groom): Dad, they have arrived

Arsy (Father): Nice, welcome them in.

Scene 3&4 [inside the house, sit together in the living room]

Arsy (Father): Hello, long time no see, how was your journey?
Irfan (FIL): It's been good. But it took 2 hours for us to come here because of the jam.

Athiyah (Mother): Really, what happened because usually, it takes only 1 hour.

Matthew (groom): There is a serious traffic jam because of a car accident on Petaling
road. (DOMINANT PHRASE: INFORMATION PROVIDER: GIVING INFORMATION TO
THE GROUP)

Arcanah (mother-in-law): That's right. The accident was pretty bad, that’s why it took us
2 hours to come here.

Arsy (Father): I see, you must be tired. Let’s continue our conversation inside the
house. Please come in.

Scene 5

Matthew (groom): Okay, shall we begin? So in this meeting, Elena and I want to settle
things for our wedding. For example about the venue, date, theme, catering and
wedding outfit.

Atiyah (Mother): I think I can volunteer myself to do all these things. I have experience
being an event organizer before. Are you guys okay with that? (showing her catalogue)
(DOMINANT PHRASE: TASK LEADER: VOLUNTEER HERSELF TO PREPARE THE
WEDDING)

Everyone except Arcanah nodding their head means they agree on

Scene 6 [inside the house]

Athiyah (Mother): Alright guys thank you for this opportunity, I feel excited to handle our
child's wedding. I’ll do the best that I can to make this wedding great.

Arcanah (MIL): Seems like everyone agrees. Anyhow, just letting you know, I do have
experience handling two marriages in my family. I hope my suggestions will be given
attention as well.

Irfan ( FIL ): Is my attention toward you not enough?

Arsy (Father): Okay calm down. It's better if we work on these things together.
(DOMINANT PHRASE: SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEADER)

Scene 7 [inside the house]

Arsy (Father): The first thing that we need to settle first is the date, do you guys have
any idea about jthe date? Or do you already have a date planned, Evan?

Matthew (groom): I didn’t have an exact date, but I prefer to do our wedding in
September.

Athiyah (Mother): If Elena and you want it in September, maybe we can do it on

September 16 or September 23, which is also a holiday.

Irfan ( FIL): Not a bad idea. We can choose 9.9 because it’s the date when online
shopping gets discounts and who may know Shopee or Lazada can sponsor our child's
wedding? (DOMINANT PHRASE : TENSION RELEASER : TO MAKE LIVELY
SITUATION)

Arcanah (MIL): I don’t think it is a good idea for us to conduct the wedding in
September. Besides, we are planning an outdoor wedding, which makes the date you
chose even more irrelevant. (DOMINANT PHRASE: CENTRAL NEGATIVE: NOT
AFRAID TO VOICE CRITICISM)

Atiyah (Mother): But may I know why you think so?

Arcanah (MIL): I firmly believe that conducting an outdoor wedding in September is a

bad idea because September is the wet season in Malaysia. It will be chaotic if it rains
during the wedding ceremony. This will surely ruin our children’s big day. Therefore, I
would suggest we conduct the wedding in December. Since it is a holiday for schools, it
will be convenient for parents because they won't have to worry about sending their kids
to class. This will ease their travel plans.

Irfan (FIL): My sincere apologies to both of you because you need to deal with the
ex-best debater in university. She is already using her skill in this discussion. And to you
Arcanah, take it easy okay? No need to volume up your tone with them. We are not in
the hall or either in the competition.

Matthew (Groom): I believe this because, based on what I'm seeing right now,
September has a lot of heavy rain. (DOMINANT PHRASE: INFORMATION
PROVIDER: GIVING INFORMATION TO THE GROUP)

Athiyah (Mother): Sorry, I forgot about that, but your opinion makes sense due to the
wet weather. We should choose the best date for our child's wedding. December is the
perfect month to do their wedding and I propose the date is on 16 December.

Everyone nods their head

Scene 8 [inside the house]

Arsy: How about the time when we will conduct the wedding—in the morning, afternoon,
or evening? (SECONDARY PHRASE: QUESTIONER: INCREASE THE QUALITY OF
GROUP OUTPUT)

Matthew: I think it will be better to conduct the wedding at night because most people
are free at night. What do you think?

Athiyah (Mother): I agree with you Evan that the night will be the ideal time because if
we do it in the morning, I believe the number of guests will be lower than expected, and
if we do it in the afternoon, it will not be ideal because we are planning an outdoor
wedding.
Arsy (Father): Alright, because we want to conduct their wedding at night, I propose a
black-and-white theme.

Arcanah (MIL): Why did you choose the black-and-white theme?

Arsy (Father): The black and white theme will make the wedding look elegant. The
invited guests can wear a tuxedo or dress.

Arcanah( MIL): How about those who do not have black and white outfits? We can't be
expecting for everyone to spend money on their outfit just for our sake. (SECONDARY
PHRASE: QUESTIONER: INCREASE THE QUALITY OF GROUP OUTPUT)

Irfan (FIL): Then, if they come to our child's wedding, we will not allow them to enter the
venue because they do not follow our theme, or we may fine them. (DOMINANT
PHRASE: TENSION RELEASER: HARMONIES SITUATION)

Athiyah (Mother): Black and white is the most common colour that I think everyone will
have, so it will not cost them much to buy a new outfit

Matthew (Son): Okay, I think everyone agrees to use black&white theme for my
wedding.

Scene 9 [inside the house]

Irfan (FIL): Because it's already afternoon and we've finished our discussion about our
child's wedding, perhaps we can end it right now and just contact via phone to justify our
plan in the future.

Matthew (groom): So before we finish this meeting, I want to conclude that the wedding
will be conducted on the night of December 16, and the dress code for the guests is
black and white. (SECONDARY PHRASE: RECORDER: CONCLUDE THE POINT OF
THE MEETING)

Athiyah (Mother): I think you guys are hungry, and I already prepared the food for us to
eat.

Arsy (father): Yes, of course, we already prepared the food for us, so you may eat
before you leave.

Irfan ( FIL): No wonder I smell appetizing food from before; you've already prepared
food for us. I hope it’s not troubling you. Thank you for the dishes, Athiyah and Arsy.

Arcanah (MIL): I am genuinely happy with our discussion outcome today. Let’s do this
for the sake of our children’s happiness. At the same time, I do hope that we can all do
this together as a family.

Irfan (FIL): Hey Evan, these are some tips for you, if you want to remember your wife's
birthday, try to forget it once, then you can see her acting like your mother-in-law in this
discussion. I guarantee you will not forget it again.
