My niece’s wedding

The first day of August (Saturday) was a special day for my niece Lejla. It was her wedding day. That was a special day for me too. I was happy and sad at the same time. I have never experienced such mix of feelings. I was happy because of her happiness but sad because my brother wasn’t there. Many of my blogging friends already know that my brother was killed in the war when Lejla was only 7 years old little girl. She is still a fortunate girl because her stepfather is a man of a big heart who accepted her like his own daughter. He has done everything to make Lejla and her mother happy. He is also a good father to his own daughter Melba who is only a few years younger than Lejla. They two love each other as if they were originally sisters and also they now have their little stepsister Sara who is already 7 years old little girl. Melba lives in Paris with her mother. The war separated many people but also connected many of them in many ways. Such is life!
I have to say that I am not satisfied with photos that I took although I took so many of them. Fortunately there were two professional photographers who will make photo albums and video records for them. I simply didn’t manage to take any photo I had imagined about. It was too hot day and there were so many people and so many emotions. Yet I chose some photos to share with you.
Lejla and her husband Adnan are now spending their Honeymoon in Turkey. I know they are enjoying every moment of their happiness. May they be healthy and happy ever after!
