the one time I'm really touched by a wedding

So yesterday evening, I went to my dad friend's son's wedding. It was held at Century Park Hotel, Senayan and as usual, I was freaking lazy to go. But I had to because, my mom was out of town and my brother and I had to accompany my dad. I thought it was going to be another anonymous-wedding-I-need-to-attend-to party, but it wasn't. I think it was one of the sweetest weddings I've ever attended.

Here's the story.
The groom is an employee of an international bank, where he worked as one of those customer-service-guys (I don't know his position in the company). So anyway, who would've thought that by serving customers of the bank, he'd met his soulmate? Yes, his wife, used to be one of his customers! Isn't that so cute? I think so :3 The sweeter part is the fact that their relationship kept going even though they were in different cities for one year! That's what I call love, I think.

Back to the wedding, my brother and I were instantly separated from my dad as he went to meet some of his friends. He said that he'd call me when he was finished. While we were waiting, we decided to follow the wedding procession. We heard testimonials of the newlyweds' friends and we even heard the groom sang to his bride! Awww. He said that, back when they were still dating, she used to ask him to sing that song but he denied. But he did it anyway, in front of hundreds of people, while staring and smiling at his bride. Very. Sweet. Indeed. So anyway, after that it was time to cut the wedding cake. It was huge and looked so yummy. I didn't get the cake, though. Because, well, I don't know them.

Next was the part when the bride tossed her bouquet of flowers to the audience, hoping that the one who caught it would be the next bride. I heard the emcee said, "For all the single ladies, please step forward! Or for the ladies who are already in a relationship but haven't been proposed yet." Then all of a sudden, the front of the ballroom was filled with young women who are probably the newlyweds' friends and cousins. And as the emcee did a countdown, I thought,

Someday, maybe I'll be attending one of my friends' wedding and did the same thing as those women (or maybe, you know, vice versa ;p). Now, in high school, most of us would think, "When will my crush like me back? Will I ever be in a relationship?" And in the next 10 years we'd probably think, "When will my boyfriend propose me? Will I ever get married?" The same insecure feelings that we had back then. And I think it doesn't just apply in relationship problems, that insecurity will also occur on the first day of work or the first time we're in college. We'd worry that we'd never fit in. Just like what we'd thought on the first day of our freshman year in high school.

And so, as the bride threw her bouquet full of pink and white flowers, I came to my own conclusions that, the world is like one really big and even-more-complicated high school:)

P.S. Speaking of high school, I received my report card yesterday and I've made it to Year 11 Science class! Woohooo
