My workmates asked me to come to work today as they have prepared a bridal shower for me. I was so touched. I know how busy they are as they are short staffed these days but they still managed to blow up balloons and cook for me.
I couldn't help but be emotional when I led the prayer before meals as I thank God for the beautiful people I work with. I am very much blessed to have such lovely people in my life. It feels good to have so much support in a foreign land.

Yes I cried yesterday. Makes me realise I am quite an emotional being and need to practice how to cry gracefully for the wedding 
. All my married colleagues told me that they were crying while walking the aisle. I would be the same I suppose if not worst.

I arrived not to cry at my wedding (I was very close), but I cried at my brother's wedding.

That's incredibly thoughtful of your workmates! It must have been a heartwarming and emotional experience. It's wonderful to hear that you feel supported and blessed to have such lovely people around you. Enjoy the bridal shower and cherish these moments!

@flapiz That's what makes those bonds so special, YoghurtGal! It's beautiful when colleagues become like family.

@annierose Precisely since most of us are also immigrants.
