My Wed Help

I, and several other helpers, spent the weekend helping my friend organize his church wedding. We aimed to make it a glorious day for the couple, to make it memorable for the guests, and to make it awfully painful for my feet.
I, and the other helpers there, needed to run around to make sure things run smoothly. And as I had problem with the insole of my shoes, I felt like running while wearing a Nike designed for Barbie's feet.
But the event went okay though. Not all are perfect (such as the late guests, rains etc.), but okay.

Then, all the running around and hectic preparations just got me thinking, hey did my wedding was also preceded by such chaos and tiring preparations?
I actually do not know. As the groom, I was not aware of what's going on behind the screen. My preparations stopped a day before the actual day and were continued by the helpers. On the actual day, I stopped thinking about the preparations and started thinking about ..., mmm,... actually I wasn't very sure was I was thinking then, due to the lack of sleep, but preparation was surely not in my head anymore.
So I was reminded on how important the role of the helpers. And maybe it's time to once again thank our wedding helpers who came early and work hard on that day, hopefully with the right insole in their shoes.

And, to pisang kungkung, congratulations! May your new journey filled with laughter and joy.
