Manorama Family Drama: Daily Dose, Increased Spiceee..

I'm falling into the abysmal pit of a non-stop churn of an emotional melodrama experienced by the bride's immediate & extended family members alike. Do I like? Yes and no.

This is my second attendance to a family wedding. I don't mean to sound vicious, but Gosh! The plot keeps thickening by the day. They're incessant trials & complaints spread all over the place like mine stones. With my wedding bells drawing near, I get more afraid than perhaps the bride herself.

Why I like: It's an interesting take on how the elders, despite their keen observation & wisdom, are so sensitively invoked every step of the way; to see how the younger generation notes the former yet feigns ignorance as a stance to their happiness ( Still when a choice is needed to be made, they stick to their elders not to their peer's needs); a dip on the wacky psyche of my relatives, they're quickest to make downbeat comments, quickest to see the change of scene but remain tightlipped about acknowledging it, they're the quickest to get offended. It seems that every care needs to be taken to keep them happy, yet their happiness is not entirely in our hands..

Why I dislike: The most direct effect of this melodramatic examination, make me wanna pull my hair by the end of the day. Crazy observation is directly proportional to crazier absorption, work is in progress to negate that equation (if you know what I mean). The bride and her immediate family are not only target to indirect but the direct & strongly vocal fiery badgering of the 'disturbed' lot. I may sound matronly, but it requires so much humility, dignity, and stability to attend to & soothe their emotional quenches.
