Just came back from my cousin’s wedding.

It was a simple affair compared to many of the grand weddings that I have been to before, but truth to be told, this was a wedding which I felt I’ve enjoyed the most.

Everything was simple and basic. No major surprises (except for one small one), no focus on what should be done or what should be said. But through this simplicity, it was the loving heart of the family that shone.

My aunt is an easily contented woman. My cousin teared when he was giving his speech. He’s not a great speaker by any means, but I felt that those simple thank yous spoke more than any other huge words can express. As he teared on stage, so did she. And when he surprised her with a bouquet of flowers, that was when their unspoken love shone through. And she never stopped smiling.

Everyone was having a ball of a time, and they seemed to be truly enjoying themselves. There were no feelings of “Oh I’m here cos I was invited”. Everyone seemed to be there because they genuinely wanted to be there to celebrate their marriage. It was a really great experience.

I wish you all the happiness in the world, cousin, and I wish that your love for your wife will strengthen daily.
