Which is Yours?

The familiar sound made between the dessert spoon and the champagne glass marks the beginning of my favourite moment. While others may be busy sweeping the crumbs of pastry from their dessert plates or sipping on their glass of wine, carrying with them conversations over the table. Some, may appear to be listening but only with their eyes while their hearts are floating along with their minds on really still water. They are in what we would most commonly term as; dreamland. I have to admit that I too, fall into those categories occasionally having the tick-tock of the needle as my cue.

But most of the time, it is my favourite moment. It is when I'd stop sweeping the crumbs, even if I see the waiter at the corner of my eyes collecting unfinished dessert plates. It is when the noise around me would dissipate or not, I'd get really annoyed of the increasing frequency. I'd listened with my eyes, heart and mind open. With them, casting a spotlight on the bride and groom.

It is the moment of sweet truth that the both of them share, shared and will share ringing through my ears. It is like a duet ballad composed and sung by the bride and groom. And by the end of it all, what fills the vessels in my body pumps hope to my heart.

That, is my favourite moment. Well, you could call it a segment of the evening in a wedding reception if you want to. Lol.

Which is yours? o.0

P.s. inspired by 21 dresses. Lol.
