My bitter sweet affair
Yesterday, my eldest cousin got married. It was quite exciting as he is the first of any of my cousins to ever be married. (only cos most of the rest are not of marrigable age) Anyway, I was telling one of my hall friends about going for my cousin's wedding and he commented that attending weddings are bitter-sweet affairs. I know why its sweet, i mean obviously cos someone found the love of their life and is declaring it to the world with a cert and a ring. I guess its bitter because that someone is not you. So when its your turn, it'd be just totally sweet.
However, I usually just feel that weddings are such sweet events, I don't feel any bitter. I love going to weddings! I feel happy that someone has found their life partner. I just like all that lovey dovey atmosphere and I am generally happy for the couple without feeling bitter.
Anyway, my cousin's wedding was beautiful. It was a fairytale themed wedding and the program and videos were great! My cousin performed some magic to start the night off, before singing a duet with his new wife (which was incredible. didn't know he could sing so well). Other notable programs included my cousin's father and the bride's father singing a song each. Right there. That was my bitter.
My dad ever told me he wanted to sing at my wedding. As my uncle and the bride's father sung, I realised what I will never have and it once again reminded me of what I have lost. From now on, weddings will always be bitter sweet for me. I guess that at every wedding, when the bride is accompanied by her father or her father sings a song, that will be my bitter.
And as I thought deeper, I realised that my own wedding, which I thought would be a really sweet affair is going to be bitter sweet afterall.
