The Joyful Wedding (Touching stories about life lessons)- Inspirational moral stories for adults:
Once upon a time, in a bustling city, there lived a happy family. They were overjoyed because their only son, Vinod, had recently found a government job. In their society, government jobs were highly respected, and everyone was proud of Vinod’s achievement. Excitement filled the air as preparations for Vinod’s marriage were in full swing. Invitations were sent far and wide to relatives, and celebrations were underway. Meanwhile, in the bride’s family, preparations for the wedding were also in full swing. The bride’s maternal uncle, a retired army officer, had a stern demeanor that often made others uncomfortable. Despite his impressive background, his arrogance rubbed many people the wrong way, and they preferred to keep their distance from him. All the relatives received invitations from the bride’s family, and Mamaji, the bride’s maternal uncle, was asked to arrive two days before the wedding to ensure all preparations were completed on time. Mamaji was known for his punctuality, but his strict nature often made him harsh with others, causing concern that someone might be offended by his behavior.
Meanwhile, upon receiving the wedding card, the groom’s uncle set out with his wife to buy wedding clothes. Despite visiting several shops, they returned home empty-handed. Determined to find the perfect outfits, the groom’s uncle decided to visit a bigger city the next day. However, even there, they struggled to find suitable clothes, much to his wife’s frustration. Back at the bride’s house, Mamaji arrived a week before the wedding to oversee the preparations. Upon learning that a confectioner had not yet been found, Mamaji grew angry and scolded the bride’s father for not informing him sooner. He insisted that he could have arranged for a confectioner himself if he had been notified earlier. The girl’s father expresses his concern, explaining that booking decorations and the band was already a challenge due to many weddings in the city. However, Mamaji reassures him, offering to take charge of the food preparations. Drawing from his experience managing food messes in the army, Mamaji confidently assures the girl’s father that he can handle the task, citing his ability to cook for large groups.
Meanwhile, the groom’s uncle, prompted by his wife’s frustration, decides to venture to another city alone to buy shoes without informing her. He finds the perfect pair and makes the purchase. However, on the day of the wedding procession, his train is delayed, leaving him unable to arrive on time. Despite his frustration at being left behind, he realizes his presence at the wedding is essential for the rituals. Eventually, after much persuasion, the groom’s uncle agrees to join the wedding procession. Although the delay caused tension, they make their way to the girl’s house, where the eagerly awaited wedding procession enters the neighborhood with the lively sounds of the band. The wedding procession is warmly greeted by the girl’s family, but due to the delay, some rituals are rushed, and the guests are called for dinner. With a large number of people attending from both sides, the demand for food quickly surpasses the supply. The girl’s maternal uncle, in charge of the meal preparations, finds himself overwhelmed as the guests form long queues.
Concerned about the shortage of food, the girl’s father approaches his maternal uncle, urging him to expedite the serving process. However, the uncle asserts his authority, reminding them that he is not a professional caterer and advises patience. As the chaos ensues among the guests, the groom’s uncle finally arrives, fatigued from his journey, but unnoticed amidst the commotion.
When the girl’s father encounters the groom’s uncle, he jests, “From where did you come?” In his frustration, the groom’s uncle retorts sharply, claiming to have descended from the sky. Recognizing his friend’s plight, some guests invite him to join them for food, attempting to diffuse the tension. Hungry and irritated, the groom’s uncle eagerly grabs several puris when they are replenished, eager to satisfy his hunger without further delay. Meanwhile, the girl’s maternal uncle emerges and becomes agitated upon seeing an excessive amount of puris on his uncle’s plate, scolding him for greedily taking more than his share while many guests remained hungry. His outburst draws the attention of everyone present, causing a moment of tension. However, with the intervention of guests from both sides, the situation is eventually defused. As the wedding rituals continue, the groom’s uncle joins the gathering, observing the proceedings with interest. However, his attention is soon diverted when he discovers that his shoes have mysteriously vanished. After a frantic search, it is revealed that the groom’s sisters-in-law have playfully hidden his shoes as part of a customary tradition. According to custom, the shoes will only be returned in exchange for a gift.
As the time for farewell approaches, the groom’s departure is delayed due to the missing shoes. When the groom’s sisters-in-law realize their mistake and discover that they have inadvertently taken the uncle’s shoes instead, they teasingly demand a gift from him. Annoyed by the situation, the uncle decides to walk barefoot, refusing to participate in the gift exchange. Witnessing the uncle’s discomfort, both families rush to console him, realizing the unintentional mistake. The bride’s father humbly apologizes and requests the return of the uncle’s shoes, which he promptly retrieves. With tensions eased, the uncle is invited to join the groom’s car, and the wedding procession sets off with laughter echoing through the locality. As the wedding party departs, the joyful celebrations continue, marking the union of two families amidst laughter and camaraderie.
