Sample Answer:
Recently my younger sister got married and this was an exceptional wedding ceremony in my life. I was both exhilarated and sad at the same time and this would make me remember this ceremony for the rest of my life. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to let me talk about it.
The marriage reception took place at our home, (…mention your city and country name here…) and almost two hundred guests including many relatives, neighbours and my parents’ colleagues, were present at the ceremony.
My younger sister, Bella, who is my only sister was getting wedded to his boyfriend- James. They had a 3 years’ relationship and after they got their parents’ blessings, they decided to tie the knot. In our country, it is almost a ritual that brothers would act as one of the main hosts when their sisters get married and I had no reason to be absent from my only sister’s marriage ceremony. I was a university student at that time and the ceremony was arranged during my semester break. I was looking forward to being a part of the ceremony as I wanted a memorable wedding reminiscence for my loving sister. I had to look after many aspects of this programme and I happily did everything.
This was a special wedding to me as one of my most beloved persons was starting a new phase in her life. On the one hand, it gave me an immense joy that my sister was very happy to have a life partner she loved and on the other hand, the thought of her departure from our house almost brought tears to my eyes. I cannot remember any other event so touchy for me and this is a day I will always remember.
