Describe a Wedding of a Relative That You Attended
"I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not and to live within the warmth of your heat and always call it home." vowed Faith.

After hearing that heartfelt vow be spoken, tears rolled down my cheek. I was attending my cousin, Faith's wedding. Faith and i are pratically sisters, both being only children. About six months ago, we were on a family vacation in New York City during winter. We invited Faith's boyfriend, Ian, along as he was like family to us. During the trip, Faith and i decided to have some 'sister' time. We went to the spa and talked. She about how she has dated Ian for two years and she was just dying for him to pop the question.

I could never get Faith to stop talking about how she met Ian and how the whole family adores him. Ian is a lovely young man who would do anything for her. Later that evening, Ian and Faith decided to have dinner on their own. We heard the door opening at around 11pm, we were all watching in my parents hotel room. About a minute later, Faith rushed into the room babbling so fast we could hardly understand her. After she calmed down a bit, i giggled guessing it was about Ian, and so I asked her what was going on. 'I'm engaged!!" she replied with tears in her eyes.

From that day on, arrangements for the wedding were made. I was lucky to be part of the whole process. From the flower arrangements to the cake design to the loaction. As Faith is an only child, she got to have an extravagant wedding. The wedding was held on a beach in Santa Monica on a breezy afternoon. It was beautiful. As i was one of her bridesmaids i got to wear a pale lavender dress with a pretty flowered headband. Ian was smartly dressed in his black tuxedo. Everyone was in awe as we watched Faith walk down the aisle with her father. She was wearing a gorgeous white wedding gown with her tiara and veil on her

    March 29, 2010 was the date of my big celebration. Before my party, months and months of planning took place before everything was done. Finding the perfect dress, the reception, decorations and much more was not an easy task. Three months till my Quinceanera and I still had not found my dress in which I would feel like a princess in. We came across a small boutique, and luckily, the very first dress the manger suggested I fell in love with.

Looking for the right reception was a much easier decision as I chose to have it at The Marriot Hotel by the beach in Ventura, CA.…

    The day started in a small where a small prayer was held before we headed out to the reception. My cousin sat at the front in her big blue, poofy dress while the guests all sat in the pews behind her waiting for the sermon to begin. The priest went through the prayer pretty quickly and my family and I rushed to the reception hall to make sure everything was ready by the time the guests arrived. My cousin was to arrive at a later time with her court of chambelanes. When I entered the reception hall, I was astonished by how beautiful everything looked. It resembled a disco ball with mirrors all around, even on the ceiling; the tables were covered in all white table cloths with a small blue centerpiece to match the quinceañera's dress; there were probably more balloons than there was people and the chandelier in the center of the dance floor brought the whole place together with its luxurious dripping crystals. When it was time for my cousin to arrive, a long, white Hummer stretch limo dropped her and her chambelanes off. As she entered, she greeted the few guests that had already arrived. With the light shining on her, she looked like Cinderella in her light blue dress which shined from all the glitter and diamonds it was covered…
