“This is marriage or wedding?”he asked.
“Wedding,”I answered in a single word.
Wedding is one of the most uncomfortable event in my life.It could be essential for human life but wearing some fancy traditional attire,surrounded by so many people,some you don’t even know how they’re related to you,in the middle of crowd,sweating,so much of noise,distraction,unnecessary fake smile,genuine and not so genuine greeting,people from far with obvious body language that they’re gossiping about you..The list goes on and on.It’s just not my cup of tea .
“ Luckily we only have to do this thing once,”I sighed .
He looked at me,”With the same girl;yes.”
I just giggled.
I slowly started to feel cramping pain over my left leg.
“Could it be some DVT?Should I do a doppler?”
My thoughts wandering.
I could see my cousin approaching me in hurry to say something .
“This is your wedding right?Please smile more,”he whispered.
It was awkward.I did,but maybe it’s too subtle for naked eyes to see.
Then from far ,I saw her with a group of girls and old aunties.
I smiled involuntarily.It felt different for someone emotionless like me.
The night goes on with many rituals that I don’t really understand.I just followed as per the priest‘s order and did whatever he said.
Some are annoying and slightly torturous.Still we do what we have to do.
At last ,I tie the knot and I make sure that all three knots done by me.There are some annoying aunties trying to complete the last knot,but I don’t give the chance to them.
Overall it’s a memorable ceremony which I don’t wish to redo.
