Finally! After eleven years, my cousin and her boyfriend got hitched. I have been rooting for them since day one when Mel sent me an SMS asking me to meet her at one of the snack bars in the University to tell me that she had a boyfriend. That was more than a decade ago, me without a husband nor a daughter. So it really is about time!
I am not the type to cry at weddings, but this time, I did. I cried my heart out! Me and my cousin would always share our insecurities and worries with each other...but on her wedding day she looked so beautiful! And I can't help but feel proud because after the rough few years that the whole family has been through, she remained strong.
I also absolutely loved the theme they came up with as a couple. It was a "vintage rustic" theme that I did not get at first...but as everything came together I finally understood what it was all about. The venue was beautiful! A garden wedding by the lake. The reception was around dinner time and I loved how the place was lighted!
Bean and I were also part of the entourage, and I still am in awe of how beautiful our girl is, not just on the outside...but very much on the inside. It is not hard to ask her to be well behaved in these kind of events. We can see that she loves to get dressed. Also, she loves the location of the reception because we've already been there once when we did the pre-nup photos last October.
A big congratulations to Genson and Melissa! Not only for tying the knot but also for pulling off a very beautiful wedding!
