It's like a graduation. Graduation not from education but from the school of life, life of a daughter and singlehood. Real happy for my friend sinyi who finally tied the knot and am on the way to more blissful living and happiness. Shan't go on to talk about how awesome and elaborately planned the wedding was, how pretty the wedding dresses were and how heartwarming to see some of the once very familiar faces of seniors during my uni years.
The most touching part of the wedding and the only time when you could hear many muffles and hushed sobs was when sinyi and kenny delivered their thank you speeches to their parents. Its always a bittersweet moment to see young ladies marry to become part of the guy's extended familia, and to some sort leave their own maiden family. Tearing up during the wedding dinner is only natural and testament to the many years of fostered closeness and familiarity to their own siblings and parents.
I too teared during Sinyi's speech. Of course its not just Sinyi having to leave her maiden family, but also the sincere gratitude for the boundless love received from her parents' daily yet consistent gestures. And like Kenny's closure for their speeches; a toast to all parents.
