A bride sulked angrily at the groom after the wedding was over. It was quite a perfectly planned wedding and nothing amiss happened throughout their agenda. There was only one very subjective opinion that insulted the bride deeply. She accidentally heard one of the guests commented, “What charming girl the usherette is! She’s even more beautiful than the bride!”
Uh-oh! Well, we all know that women are very sensitive when it comes to personal beauty – especially on the most important day of her life. On her wedding, the bride claims to be the queen of the day, and naturally she wants to reign as queen – though for one day only. It is quite annoying to have someone within the circle of her sovereignty to outshine her on that special day.
It is only natural for people to have pride. It’s already imbedded in our inmost character; without pride, we will end up no better than welcome-mats placed on people’s doorways. But there are times when we should respect other’s pride, and wedding is one occasion where we learn to honor other people’s choices and dignity.
Alright… when you are wedding organizers, please make sure you don’t place as an usherette a girl that is naturally prettier than the bride (even if she is a family member). Or, if you are invited to a wedding, do keep your opinions to yourselves before you unexpectedly ruin a happy couple’s perfect day! I believe no one likes hearing unwanted comments upon the most important day of their lives – won’t you agree?
