The best and worst thing that happened at my wedding
For every girl, the wedding day may be the biggest day in her life. As someone who just had her wedding, it might be cruel to tell you that no wedding is perfect, and that’s what makes the wedding day memorable.
The worst thing happened at my wedding is that because of the irresponsible hotel and the unprofessional wedding company, the spot was kind of in a mess. When most guests have arrived and the dinner should have begun, the stage was still not finished decorating and garbage were lying around on the floor of the waiting hall.
The best and the most important part is that a lot of my friend came and sent their blessings. Our love was witnessed and the dinner went through smoothly, and I didn’t fall on the aisle.
