I went to a wedding in October. I had attended many Hispanic weddings before, but this was my first "white" wedding. I was in a place with people I had never interacted with other than my colleagues and in an environment I was unfamiliar with. I didn't realize that this setting would be the event I would use for my final project. For starters, the wedding would take place on a Sunday. Traditionally weddings are celebrated on Saturdays. I didn't know if this ceremony would end sooner or later. I had no idea what I was going to do as I always went to weddings with my family. Normally these weddings would be loud and full of music and I was completely aware that this wedding would be something different due to the mixed cultures between the bride and groom. The ceremony was supposed to be Brittany and Marvin's wedding. Brittany is white and her new husband is Brazilian. The ceremony wouldn't start until 3 and the church would be in a hotel and the reception in a restaurant. I work with Brittany at Islands and she only invited about 10 people from work to go to her wedding. I got ready at my friend Lexi's house. He had asked me in advance to get ready at his house. I had a couple of other colleagues getting ready together at each other's houses. I assume that girls my age prepare together for an event so they feel accompanied and don't worry about looking lonely when they arrive. Lexi and I arrived at the hotel and went to the wedding together. People showed up in groups. I didn't see a single person go in alone. There were mostly couples at the event. They were mostly couples without children. My manager, George, and his wife had gone together. There was also a couple sitting in front of you......in the center of the paper......groaning. In the Islands, if there is ever a problem, it's best to call the managers and ask them to figure out if the guest is getting a free meal or gift card for their next visit. The similarities between my two examples are that people help each other and feel better when they do so. This is due to conformism. Whether it's getting ready together or cleaning together at work, communication and interaction between people is important. The best results are achieved by working together as a team. Sometimes, we need someone to help us improve our self-esteem and do something to make us appreciate the things they do for us. There will be times when we will be someone more important or more favored, but then it all depends on the role we are filling. Our actions determine our behavior. The kinder you are, the more people will help you and take you into consideration.
