Friend's wedding ceremony!

Before the bride and her groom walked on this red carpet, we came in advance to experience their happiness, and wish ourselves could move towards it.

Right before the wedding ceremony, we went to the room in Shangri-la Hotel (where my friend rented her wedding place) to see the bride.

Shortly after I went back home, I got a 7-day Labor Day holiday, and two wedding ceremonies. Cheers! Awesome, hum? It seems that it is the time for us to get married, cause recently, a lot of my friends got married. Last month, one of my best friends from high school got married, and another two friends got married on May.3rd, and 4th separately. I attended these two ceremonies, one was in the church, completely western way and romantic; the other was in the hotel, half western and half Chinese. Before that, I never attended wedding ceremony for my friends, mostly for my cousins, relatives. Friend's wedding is different, because you could feel you are part of it. and fully share the happiness with them. You could see their lovely happy faces, which is so cute.
The atmosphere at the wedding ceremony influenced me a lot. I did want to get married when I saw the bride walked towards the groom, especially when the groom made the commitment to his bride, promising to take care of her and love her all of his life. I was touched when he said so. I always thought I was not a traditional person, and didn't care marriage that much as long as I had a stable relationship, but it seems not the case now. Marriage needs enough courage, responsibility, and love for both people finally get together and make their serious commitment, which is not an easy thing. Boyfriend could give you the love you need, but he would never give you that kind of commitment. Just as one of my friends told me about husband "He may not be the best one, but he is the one for you." Oh, well, I guess I get a little bit affected by those continuous wedding ceremonies, so if you are not sure whether you want a marriage or not, just go to attend a wedding ceremony, you will find the answer. Pictures will come out soon!
