My Bridal Shower

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.

I know. They have been extremely short staffed but they really went overboard. I was just expecting little bits of food but I had balloons and all the other extra bits.

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.

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

Looks like the wedding is really nearing as the bridal shower has already done. It is wonderful that supportive friends will be there to join you in the happiness you experience leading up to your wedding, perhaps even if they can not make it.

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.
