Everyone had their war stories. Stories of their battles with the recent blizzard in the Northeast. Tales of rebooking flights, driving over frozen tundra once known as roads, and lost luggages were more than abundant once guests began to slowly trickle in. As these tales were measured and compared, one began to realize how each tale began to personify the level of friendship and endearment that each person had for Melissa and Jin.
Then, over the next few days on the island, began the stories which pieced together the lives of Melissa and Jin. The tale of how Jin and Melissa found each other on New Years Eve was shared while guests binged on lobster and key lime pie. Other tales of Jin’s improprietous adolescent behavior were spoken of while the gents sipped on the amply available Cruzan Rum.
And as these short stories were spoken and woven together, the life tapestry of Melissa and Jin unfolded to reveal that this island wedding was more than a celebration of nuptials. Rather, they became a revelation of how the stories of a boy and a girl, which at one point may have been juxtaposed, were now the beginning to a splendid anthology of life stories together.
