Michael and Nicole have a busy day today. They have been preparing for it for more than three months. Their determination is not deterred by the government's announcement saying that today is a working day; their eagerness is not reduced by the weather forecasts saying that today's temperature is the lowest so far this winter. They triumph over the odds.

I am one of the witnesses to their grand achievements. I even have the honor to lead their wedding march as a best man, along with a beautiful bridesmaid. This is truly a day to be remembered.
