Humorous Weddings

Have you ever cried over something because it’s over? Think about it, many people spend enormous amount of their time crying over things because they lost something or it's not there anymore, but do people ever think about smiling because it happened? Frequently, people you talk to nowadays will complain about relationships ending, TV shows ending, friendships denouement, but not one person will say I’m happy because it was once mine. As Dr. Seuss once said, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” I personally have several folks come and tell me something in their life has come to an end. For instance, my friends would come up to me and tell me about how they lost a relationship with someone, and normally will be crying. …show more content…
Even though it’s a happy time for the bride since she is getting married with someone she loves. Although people share sorrow, they don’t think about the moments they cherished together that will always be held with them no matter what happens. I consider that weddings are a joyful time where both families should be grateful because two families are coming together as one, so they can help one another when in need. Weddings are times for the parents to think about the great remembrance they had with their children. Dr. Seuss’s quote relates to this because people should smile because they had spent great time with their children before they got married and left. Weddings are the greatest reminder of sweeter rather than sour moments.
The quote “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” is like seeing a cup of water is filled half full or is half empty. It's a life philosophy, rather than residing on the depressing and negative things, see the positive in what happened. Crying over spilled milk won't fix anything, so get beyond it and overcome the problem. People should smile no matter how depressing the situation is because that person is learning things which will help later in life, and can have the

    I’ve always been a happy person. Growing up, I had a smile plastered on my face. In elementary school, my principal even gave me the nickname of “Smiley”. I never really had a reason or purpose for my upbeat attitude growing up. I had good friends, a loving family and did well in school, but I never thought about any of that.…

    Many things happened to me, good and bad, but I can’t remember a time where I was happy all the time because bad outweighs good therefore I can recall one moment, that was when I moved because I didn’t listen We never knew I had ADHD back then, so everything I did back then or didn’t ‘listen’ was because of my ADHD I couldn’t grasp on what I did or think of it because I would be thinking of several things at a time but what hit the hardest were the words,” Ask your dad if you can move with him”. I can’t remember how old but I knew I was a child at the time, but I can recollect, a gentle breeze and the heat from the sun with the hot metal from the play structure I was sitting on, outside in the front of my school and an hour passed, I was walking to my Nan’s house and I was going to eat there.…

    Also, it is misleading to mix between happiness as a wonderful feeling and the causes of happiness. For example, when I was in my senior year of high school, I applied to a scholarship to study in the US, but the acceptance rate was very low for international students. In fact, it was that station of my life, where I exerted all my mental and physical effort in order to gain this golden opportunity to study what I love. Despite the fact that it was truly hard to get this scholarship, I was one of those five students who got the scholarship. I was in my room in my high school dorm when I received the scholarship acceptance notification.…

    In this rapidly changing world, where one is as likely to learn of a couple 's engagement via E-mail as through an engraved announcement card (I can see Miss Manners rolling her eyes now), and where second -- and even third -- marriages are commonplace, only the most nimble-minded and au courant can keep up with the rules of the wedding game.
