Just got home from attending my cousin's wedding reception. I was supposed to be at the church too, but other responsibilities (like picking up mother dearest from work and hopefully make it in time for the church ceremony) kept me from attending. I did manage to catch up to the party before they left the church though and congrulated them there.
I've been to how many weddings in my life and each one of 'em I have something to complain about. But nothing too drastic. This wedding, however, is different in a way that it felt like a burden of some sort that I just wanted to get it over and done with and forget about it for as long as I live!
Weddings are supposed to be happy occasions; the blushing bride and the proud groom. When I looked at the bride and groom...well, for starters they don't look like they're glowing! Even when I attended the wedding rehearsal it seemed strained. But maybe that was because I attended the affair with a somewhat closed eyes and an inert anger/annoyance that I don't want to be there. I couldn't find it in myself to be happy for the couple. Maybe in a way I was happy for them, but deep down inside I think they're trying so damn hard to shift the attention towards them (they announced their engagement while we were busy preparing for my brother's wedding last year). Maybe if the timing was right I would've been more receptive of their announcement and actually felt proud and be happy for them.
