There were about five weddings planned for this month, but with the recent funeral things have had to be rearranged. The uncle said 'Go ahead as planned' and the uncle's daughters said 'What! Was my mother a cat? How can you think of having a wedding?!?'.
So things have been rearranged, plans cancelled and dates changed. My sister-in-law's son had no choice but to go on with his wedding but out of respect they are keeping it very quiet and low profile.
I usually find weddings depressing but this is just downright pitiful... sigh... What a way to start a new stage in someone's life...

ReplyDeleteIt's happened so many times here within the family where there is a death and they all wonder if they should proceed with the wedding. I haven't seen one to be cancelled yet, but they always tone it down and henna is not to be worn for like 40 days after the persons' death.
