The biggest day of my cousin (Dear) happened this afternoon at 2.00 p.m in Queen of Peace Parish, it is a church in Saint John School or known as Huaming. We arrived at 1.30 together with my brother, his wife and 2 kids, sister of my in-law, her daughter and their nephew, and MJ my other nephew which is the son of my twin brother. Everyone was so busy, except for me of course,while we were waiting fo rmy cousin, which was the bride of the day, we were talking to each other, actually I am busy tlaking to my nephews, while my uncle which is the older brother of my late dad sat beside me, this guy was really so strict, he was like Mr. old Scrooge, and until now he is very strict, he would even demand certain things on you, if he knows that you are weak and lower than his status, he is not rich, but he was used to the way of living they have before, maybe because he was brought up having anything they wanted, but later on, wealth does disappear like a drop of dew under the sun. Let us go back to the wedding, the formation started, I think, it was the flower girl first, which is my niece in my first cousin, then followed by the ring bearer which is my nephew from my twin brother, then the coin bearer which is my nephew to my first cousin, the bible bearer, and I think the sponsors, but prior to that there were some marching happened but I forgot the order of the marching.
The world stops, as what the groom's felt i think when he saw his wife to be in just 30 minutes more, and everyone, which include me of course, turned our head in the door of the church where the isle was, my cousin, which was assisted by my auntie, the wife of my late uncle (the elder borther of my late dad), began to have her first step going in front of the altar, everybody i think had a mixed emotion, but I was so anxious, because I did not knew where to go for my lithurgical reading, since i was not instructed, and this time i really did not want to make any single mistake, which was a disaster during my second reading in my grandma's wake.
As everyone was listening to the priest, stating his introductory rite and going to the penitential rite, I approached this old lady, and I asked her, (i think she was assigned to assist us in the church, since she was wearing a uniform), if where would i go for the first reading and she told me politely that I should sat in front of the row on the left corner so that it would be easy for me.
It was my time, since i had this misalet, or i really did not knew what they called it, i read the commentator's last word, and then i stood up in the corner and slowly approached the microphone and began reading, of course i was not scared naymore, sicne i already practiced it last night, i had undergone three various changes of voice and accent to have a good audible voice and i even looked at youtube if how people read the lithurgical reading, and it went smooth, until the second reading was still me, and i was able to read it perfectly (for me), and able to look at the eyes of the people inside the church, there was one time where i smiled because i did not knew where i was, but of course i was able to made it.
The wedding i guess ended at around 3.30 pm after our pictorial inside the church, we went directly to L'fisher hotel where the reception was held. The pre nuptial and nuptial video wnet well and the songs were all sad love songs, which i really hate, all though i felt a little sadness in my heart,i was happy for my cousin, my auntie, which is the sister of my late dad cried and i saw my other female cousin wiped her teary eyes. When the dance iwth the parents took place, my cousin and her dad cried together, i think it was the tears of joy and since she was the only daughter in their family.
My carpals are aching so i would stop writing...Toodles
