At a wedding.

Despite a busy day at work, there was a requirement to attend the wedding of a relative at a hall nearby. The relatives of the bride and the bridegroom were naturally busy with the goings on of the actual ceremony and hence, might not have been able to attend to minor details of parking of vehicles and attending to the guests! The parking area was pathetically small and to make matters worse, not easily approachable. Parking, therefore, was a horrendous affair and after much difficulty, when a spot was found, a group of children warned me about their impending cricket match and hence, the safety of my car could not be assured! After driving in circles, a spot was finally found and once the job was done, I'd to walk some distance to the venue with the satisfying thought that my car was safe!! I was just in time to witness the appointed hour of the wedding when the couple were exchanging garlands. The stage was packed with a whole lot of people - obviously, the entire gang of relatives and a posse of photographers/videographers who're hell bent on not missing out on a single moment - thereby, obscuring the view of the audience. Wonder why wedding ceremonies can't be made simpler with the minimum of clutter around the scene of happening? It would provide the guests, sitting as audience, to participate in every aspect of the ceremony making it a pleasant memory.
