As you sit next to me in the front row of the church your face mirrors your inner peace and contentment...We are here to witness the betrothal of our only son...I place my wrinkled hand over yours and you turn around to look at me...Alzheimer's may have robbed you of your memory...But I distinctly remember that warm autumn morning thirty two years ago when we were standing at exactly the same place like our son and his lovely bride...You in the flowing ivory gown and me in the black tuxedo...Nervous anticipation reflecting on both our faces..It seems just yesterday...And I am filled with gratitude towards you my beloved, my better half in every sense, who is still the most beautiful in my eyes...

Not every Cinderella's story ends
with a romantic entry of Prince Charming
but with a betrothal and
never-ending responsibilities.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters....

Both of you may be Betrothed.
But remember this,
Even the Day before your Marriage,
Even a Minute before your Consent,
Even a second before your consent,
He's A Non-Mahram to you !
She's A Non-Mahram to you !
Make Sure you intend to do
everything is 'Halal' !!!!
☺☺☺

Struggling and searching for words as well feels beautiful when,
Starting the conversation first time with the prospective one.

Honestly, I don't want to be one of those least cared goodbyes but your hard-earned​ promise.
