Dreams coming true with 1 simple word..."Yes!"
Kathy had always dreamt of getting married in Paris. She had grown up watching romantic movies that portrayed the city as the ultimate destination for lovebirds. So when her boyfriend, Arun, suggested they take a trip to Paris for their vacation, Kathy couldn't believe her luck.
As they walked along the Seine River on their first night in Paris, Kathy felt more in love with Arun than ever before. The soft light from the street lamps cast a golden hue on everything around them, making the city seem like a fairytale come true. Kathy had no idea what was coming.
"Kathy, I love you more than anything in this world," Arun began. "You make me the happiest man on earth, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"
Kathy's eyes filled with tears, and she gasped. She had been hoping for this moment for years, but it still caught her off guard. She nodded her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face, and whispered, "Yes, Arun. Yes, of course, I will marry you."
Arun slipped a beautiful diamond ring onto Kathy's finger, and they hugged each other tightly. They were both crying now, and Kathy felt like she was on top of the world. She had always known that Arun was the man she wanted to spend her life with, and now they were engaged in the most romantic city in the world.
For the rest of their trip, they walked around Paris hand in hand, taking in all the sights and sounds of the city, but mostly just enjoying being together. They talked about their future, their hopes, and their dreams, knowing that they would be spending the rest of their lives together.
When they returned home, Kathy and Arun started planning their wedding. It was everything Kathy had ever wanted - a beautiful ceremony, surrounded by family and friends, with the love of her life by her side. She knew that they would have a happy and fulfilled life together, full of love and adventure. And she was grateful for the beautiful memory they had created in the City of Love, where their journey as a couple had truly begun.
Being the father of the bride is often considered an emotional and bittersweet experience for many fathers. On one hand, it is a moment of great pride and joy to see your daughter grow up and start a new chapter in her life with someone she loves. On the other hand, it can also be a difficult and emotional experience as it marks the end of a significant chapter in the father-daughter relationship and the beginning of a new phase of her life. I felt a mix of emotions including happiness, sadness, pride, nostalgia, and excitement, as I witnessed Kathy walk down the aisle and start her journey towards a new life with her partner Arun.

Being the mother of the bride is often considered an emotional and significant experience for many mothers. It is a moment of great pride and joy to see your daughter grow up and start a new life with someone she loves. I felt a sense of happiness and accomplishment as I saw Kathy's commitment to a new life and family. Additionally, the role of the mother of the bride often involves helping with wedding planning, offering emotional support to the bride, and playing a significant role in the wedding ceremony, which can bring its own mix of emotions. I felt a sense of nostalgia and sadness as I realized that my daughter is starting a new chapter of her life and that our relationship will change in significant ways. Overall, being the mother of the bride can be a bittersweet and emotional experience that marks a significant milestone in both the my and Kathy's lives.

Being a groom is a significant and exciting role in a wedding. It's a big day for both the groom and the bride, and it's an opportunity to celebrate their love and commitment to each other with family and friends.
As the groom, I was responsible for a variety of tasks leading up to the wedding day, such as selecting wedding attire, choosing my groomsmen and best man, and making sure we were prepared for the wedding ceremony and other wedding events.
On the wedding day itself, whether I like it or not, I will be the 2nd center of attention as I make my way down the aisle to Kathy (who is obviously the 1st center of attention and rightfully deserved!). We'll exchange vows, rings, and a kiss and celebrate our union with family and friends at the reception.
Overall, being a groom is an important and fulfilling role that comes with a lot of responsibility, but it's also an opportunity to share an important milestone with the person I love and am closest to...my new wife Kathy!
- Arun (Groom)
For many brides, their wedding day is a unique and special experience that they have been dreaming about for years. It is a day filled with excitement, anticipation, and a bit of nervousness. As the bride, you are the center of attention, and all eyes are on you.
Many brides feel a mix of emotions as they get ready for the big day. They might feel anxious about everything going according to plan, worried about the weather, or overwhelmed with the responsibility of hosting such an important event. I felt all that. But at the same time, I was filled with joy and happiness about marrying the love of my life and celebrating it with my closest family and friends.
As the day progresses, many brides start to feel more relaxed and comfortable. They enjoy being pampered as they get their hair and makeup done, and they feel beautiful and radiant in their wedding dress. Walking down the aisle to their partner can be both exciting and emotional, and the moment they say their vows can be a powerful and intimate experience. It was all that but I'm not sure I felt relaxation really until the reception lol.
During the reception, I felt grateful for the love and support of my family and friends. We danced, laughed, and make memories that will last a lifetime. The whole day was an incredible and unforgettable experience that marks the start of a new chapter in our lives.
Overall, being the bride can be a special and memorable experience that brings a mix of emotions, but the love and joy of the day is what is most important.

Celebrating in paradise
Arun and Kathy had been planning their honeymoon for months, and they both agreed that the Dominican Republic would be the perfect destination for their romantic getaway. They had heard so much about the beautiful beaches, the crystal-clear waters, and the warm and friendly people of the island, and they were eager to experience it all for themselves.
As soon as they arrived at their resort, they were greeted with a cool glass of refreshing juice and a warm welcome from the staff. They were shown to their room, which was decorated with flowers and a bottle of champagne waiting for them on the bed. They knew then that this would be a vacation they would never forget.
Their first morning in the Dominican Republic was spent lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun, and sipping on cocktails. They were amazed at the beauty of the sea, with its vibrant blue colors and gentle waves. They took a walk along the beach and came across a local fisherman who had just caught a fresh batch of lobsters. They decided to buy some for dinner and asked the resort's chef to prepare it for them.
The next day, they went on a hike through the lush tropical rainforest, which was a completely different experience from the serene beach they had been lounging on the day before. They saw colorful birds, butterflies, and monkeys swinging through the trees. They also visited a nearby village, where they met some of the friendly locals and learned about their culture and way of life.
On their third day, they went on a snorkeling excursion and saw some of the most beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish they had ever seen. They even swam with some dolphins, which was an experience they would never forget.
Their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic was everything they had hoped for and more. They had the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion. They knew that they would always cherish the memories of their romantic and unforgettable honeymoon.
