Here I am, in China, half way around the world from home. As I lookat my clock and calculate the time back home I realize that half a world away, people are busy getting ready for a wedding. The bride is my niece, a person I first met when she was three days old. I think back to the first time I had the opportunity to become acquainted with my niece. As my sister cradled her in her arms, the infant girl clasped her mother's outstretched finger. My intuition told me that her temperament 1 would be a sunny disposition 2, a joy to people around her. As she grew, the cute little girl had an infectious laugh that started as a small grin, then became a giggle 3 and grew louder and louder until it triggered a response from all the people around her and they joined in. As an adolescent, she studied hard and enjoyed welldeserved success in secondary school as she interacted with her peer group. After receiving her high school diploma, she chose nursing as her career. From the beginning of the young couple's romance it was evident that they were compatible and were completely intrigued 4 with each other. The couple had an engagement party when I was at home in Canada a few months ago. The party was in the form of a picnic in a beautiful rose garden. To celebrate and to toast their future, we drank champagne 5. As they posed under an arch covered with climbing roses,we snapped pictures for their photo album. The couple decided 6 on a fall wedding. Plans for the wedding day were activated 7 immediately. The decisions about the forthcoming event were shared by the whole family. A close friend of the family was contacted and invited to sing a solo just prior to the ceremony. The day before the ceremony, a rehearsal 8 would take place so that the remainder of the details could be looked after and attended to. The planning that takes place beforehand for one of these events and all the work that the big day entails 9, with many people collaborating 10 to make the event run smoothly 11, are immense. The conscientious 12 attention to detail will be evident to the spectators of this event. I can imagine the excitement and emotions of the family today. The time is near. The ceremony will begin in 3 short hours. The bride will be radiant as she comes down the aisle 13 escorted by her father. She will wear her grandmother's pearls as an accessory. Her veil will be the same one as her cousin wore last year. As is customary, under her garments she will wear a blue garter. As part of the tradition of Canadian weddings, she will be wearing something old (the pearls), something new (her gown), something borrowed (the veil) and something blue (the garter). As the first chords of the wedding march are played (a melody familiar to all), the congregation will rise. Gasps 14 will be heard as they catch a glimpse of the bride in her gorgeous wedding gown. The mother of the bride will calmly view this whole event, though tears will blur 15 her vision. She will be overcome with sentiment at her daughter's apparent happiness. The picture will be one that will embody hope for the future of humanity
