Since I was short of time I entered the first shop at the mall and started browsing through the hanging outfits but did not find anything.  The sales girl approached and offered to help and I asked her that I needed something for the evening.  She pointed towards a mannequin wearing a strapless white dress with a floral pattern silk scarf.  The scarf looked so voguish that I decided to look for a scarf to go with my black dress.  The sales girl showed me towards a colorful rack full of scarves, wraps and shawls.  Keeping the chilly weather I picked a lovely cashmere shawl to wrap around the shoulders and made the payment.

I happily returned home and started getting ready for the evening.  My new shawl was going to save me from the coldness and add style to my old dress.

It was a pleasant winter evening with the icy wind blowing the brittle leaves of the tall trees.  Loud festive music could be heard as we drove closer to the venue.   The blanket like giant mesh marquee sparkling with bright fairy lights seemed to embrace the horizon. The pavilion was filled with estimable guests; some sitting at the round tables while some were roaming around and chatting.  A large multi layered cake staged on an elegant oak table waited for the bride and the groom to enter and treat everyone to it.

Amidst the rejoicing the music all of sudden ceased and then blasted off again with ‘here comes the bride, all dressed in white’.  As the bride and groom entered walking hand in hand all eyes lay on them.  The groom wore an elegant black suit with a silk tie and dazzling black dress shoes.  The bride was one of her kind too, wearing a very pretty designer bridal dress with a formal silk scarf wrapped around her shoulders.  Even the two bridesmaids were wearing dress gowns with silk wraps around their shoulders warming up the cold winter evening in a very chic manner.  The bright red silk scarves on the white women dresses made the bridal gowns look exclusive.

The couple approached the round oak table and exchanged vows and rings followed by a kiss.  Finally, they cut the long awaited multi layered cake and the marry making began marking the beginning of a new life.
