My cousin's wedding went by without a hitch. Well, there were some minor setbacks but fortunately, they were all easily solved and the wedding managed to go on successfully. The thing was, I felt nothing when my cousin got married. Maybe it was because we were both not so close to each other thus there were no feelings of happiness, satisfaction or any emotions whatsoever.
Since we were quite close cousins, my family and I were involved in the preparations and for me, I was in charge of supervising the candy and ice cream corner. People were needed to closely supervise these places because when left unattended, irresponsible people tend to make a mess of such organized plating. However, despite my role, I did not really do anything much. I was not committed to staying at the corner as I flitted to many places, attending to close relatives.
The thing I could not believe was that three days of the new year had passed really quickly without even me realising it. The wedding spanned for two days and I could only go home with my family late at night but we had our cousins bring us home on both days so I was not really complaining. It was fun taking a car home compared to taking a taxi or public transport.
Oh well, I guess people just find someone they could connect with and decide to get married. The marriage preparations were really a lot and to think a lot of people were cashing their time and energy for someone else's happiness for free. It was amazing. Though I did not do much laborious work, I really felt happy and proud of myself for at least contributing to the success of my cousin's wedding even if the contributions were small.
I pray for his happiness and hopefully his love with his wife will last eternally!
