Being at my cousin's wedding= Priceless
Here I found a funny version of a banned MasterCard advertisment.
But to go back to my moment, I took a last minute decision to go back home and be there on my cousin's wedding. A 4 stops flight with an overnight stop on return.
Almost everyone was there. I hadn't seen some of them in 9 years and was nice to meet again, especially on a wedding where everyone is happy. My cousin, the bride, was really pretty and looked like a princess. Facebook is full of wedding pictures where you can see everyone with hands up on the dance floor, smiling, laughing and laughing a lot to the point that you can count their teeth. Was good to have my brother there as well and make fun with his dance moves. The only one I can't make fun is my dad, he is the best dancer ever, to the point that makes everyone gealous!
At the end, I did spend a lot, I was away from my hubby and kid for a while but it was worth it. If you think about it, life is not just to work, pay bills and do all the chores that we should do. I will forget all the bills I have payed, I will re-do all the chores over and over again, I will go to work again and deal with all the stress there. But there are days like that wedding, that will stay on my memory and heart for a long time, untill my memory will not fail me.
Being around home, had a quick chance to meet a couple of friends too. That was another Mastercard moment, lots of good times and laughes over some good food and wine. Easy talk, smooth and no need to pretend.... that is the feeling of being with old friends.
Had a chance to confirm that for my parents I will always be a kid, no matter how many gray hair I have. Had a chance to confirm that my nephews still recongnize me as their aunt. Had a chance to see my brother one year older than last year. My sister in law feeling good around me and getting closer together.
All in all, last week I was happy. And I do not usually believe in associating the word happy to period's of time longer than hours.
