wedding bells
time: 1.03am
im really really exhausted.and my head is splitting.
but if im exhausted, then i think my cousin will be feeling worse. haha
Today was her wedding day and i guess i have reached an age to finally realise the magnitude of it all. Planning a wedding is like planning a big business proposal, there are people to invite, elders to please and the need for it to be grand, memorable and beautiful. You pour money in, you work tirelessly towards it, and on the day itself, you are the most exhausted, you eat the less, you get the most drunk(for the guys) and your face is caked with heavy makeup(for the girls)
haha...i had to help my cousin carry the train of her 15kg dress for a good few hours today and my arms are seriously aching already. But she was really beautiful you know. and though i may say the pain that goes into planning one, i cannot deny the lump in my throat as i saw the couple's exchange wedding vows, as they walk down the aisle with the sword bearers and the proud look on my uncle and aunty's faces
Maybe half of the people there at the dinner are people u may not have seen your whole life, but you know that the other half are people who have made your life complete. And maybe you get really weary from the endless smiling and running around, but you know that the person holding your hand is there to share your burden and is promising to do so for a long and long time. and then maybe, it will all seem ok.
At least thats how i hope they see it. And i've spend the whole of last week excited about this. haha. Its lovely to see two people in love be willing to take this next step together. I really wish them the most blissful of happiness that one can find in a lifetime together. In the sea of people, they found each other and let the vows exchanged today be lived through this lifetime, held on by both. :)
