Walking Through Emotions and Celebrations: A Day I’ll Always Remember

Greetings of the day,

Today became one of the special days of my life because today I attended the wedding of my best friend. When I opened my eyes in the morning, there was a different movement in my mind. There was a flood of happiness curiosity and emotions all at once. This is the same friend with whom I have spent many years of my life, sharing laughter, worries, struggles and dreams. And today the same friend was going to get married in the sacred bond of marriage.

I slowly started getting ready. While wearing clothes, my mind got lost in the memories of the past. College days, unnecessary laughter, arguments over small matters, and dreams about the future till late night – everything was playing like a movie before my eyes. Today the same friend was going to add a new chapter in his life and I was going to witness it.

The wedding venue was at some distance from my house, so I left early. The road was becoming brighter. Decorated vehicles everywhere, smiles on people's faces and a bustling atmosphere all this was making the atmosphere even more special. My excitement was increasing with every step realizing that today was not going to be just a wedding ceremony but a precious collection of memories.

When I reached the wedding venue I was mesmerized by the scene there. The floral decorations all around the brightness of the lights and the fragrant air were making the atmosphere very beautiful. On the stage, my friend and his future life partner were looking very beautiful in traditional clothes. The happiness and satisfaction on his face was telling everything.

I went inside and met many friends whom I met after years. We all laughed a lot remembering old things. It seemed as if time had stopped for a moment and we all had returned to our old days again. I didn't even realize how much time had passed while talking.

During this entire time I was constantly on the move. Sometimes going to the photography corner and getting pictures clicked, sometimes going to my friend to wish him good wishes, and sometimes meeting guests – all these activities resulted in a good amount of time. I didn't even realize how many steps I had walked, but there was a positive energy in my body.

This ceremony was like an unplanned exercise for me. Without any exercise program, just happy walking, smiling and socializing – it all became a complete physical activity. This is the special thing in life, when we are happy, our body automatically becomes active.

The food arrangements were also very attractive. A variety of dishes, sweets and traditional tastes – everything was extremely delicious. But I maintained my composure and tasted a little of everything. Eating while sitting with friends was a pleasant experience in itself. At that time I realized that food is not only a medium to fill the stomach but also a medium to strengthen relationships.

When the main rituals of the marriage began the atmosphere became even more emotional. The chanting of mantras, the moist eyes of the family members, and the blessed faces – the scene was heart touching. My heart became very emotional. It seemed as if one of my own was entering a new stage of life. At that moment I realized the true value of friendship.

When I was returning home at night, my legs were a little tired, but my mind was completely satisfied and happy. The body was tired, but the heart was full of memories. Today was not just a day to attend a wedding, but a day to live out friendships, relationships and emotions.

I learned today that the most beautiful moments of life are often not ordinary, but very special. Seeing my friend starting this new life inspired me too. I sincerely wish her a happy married life and pray that her life is filled with love, understanding and happiness.

This day will always remain alive in my memories – a day that energized me not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally.
