Humorous Weddings: A Short Story

Decent Essays
Nothing is permanent in this life save our souls. So, you're going through a rough patch, you got promoted, your dog died, you have a heap of unpaid bills, the love of your life left you , you won the lottery, YIPIIIIIIII! You're a gazillionaire. Heck, you can stick your nose to the grindstone all you want, day in and day out, 24/7, for that tight ride, for that nice house and all the high end, comfy and posh things that go along with it, for that lavish wedding you have been drooling about since ever. To what end? Short-lived happiness? Thing is, all these things will wear out, grow old and disintegrate. They will fade away with your physique, worldly heartaches and glee.

    Hi Everyone! I hope you guys had a great weekend! First starters, I really like Elvis’s voice and feel that he was a huge stepping stone for two different cultures in finding a common ground and relation through his music.

    The memories that they bring along are what they smile about as they reach the final stop. From the days of laughter to the nights when they lamented, these are the true ingredients of happiness.
