How was the wedding?
Very fun actually! The groom was my grandfather's brother's son on my dad's side of the family. (I'm not quite sure what relation that makes him to me.) The people on my dad's side of the family tend to be pretty cool so I had no doubts that I'd enjoy it. The bride had actually designed all of the decorations herself (she even made these great wood carving nametags, which I'm pretty sure we all kept as souvenirs), and it was overall very pleasant and great. It caused me to develop an appreciation for Moroccan food and mixing it together with things so I'd like think I've taken something away from it! I got to catch up with some family members who I don't get to see anywhere near as often as I'd like to as well, so that was a big plus. I like it when I get to see my dad's side of the family. My mum's side tends to be very high strung and we have lots of personality clashes, whereas my dad's family is generally very chilled out and laid back, so there's always a very pleasant, welcome atmosphere whenever there's a family event going on. Being able to see my cousin one last time before he goes off to Australia for however long he's going for (he's not back anytime soon, I know that much) was also good, especially as he wasn't originally going to the wedding.
Good event overall. I know that another relative of mine is getting married next year, so I'm sure there'll be more events like this soon.
