Feeling Special on Someone Else's Special Day

The other day I had the opportunity to attend the wedding of one of my best friends. The whole shabang was amazing. I got to hang out with some of my friends and see two of the people that I most care about on their special day. The best thing about the entire day was after the wedding luncheon. The bride and groom stood up and declared that they kept the luncheon to an intimate group of people for a reason. On their happiest day, they wanted to only share it those they feel they really love and know. Then they annouced that they had a gift for us. They proceeded to hand out handwritten cards to everyone present. Written upon these cards was a personal note to each individual, explaining why he/she is a special person to the bride/groom. After reading the card, it made me feel special on their day. This to me was an amazing gesture of kindness and love. After pondering this gesture I have realized just how important it is to express to others around you exactly what role they play in your life, it may change them forever, or at least make them feel special for at least one day.
