I don't like to miss any event, especially a familiar event. However, I did miss an important one recently. I'd like to talk about a time when I missed my cousin's wedding ceremony. It was about a month ago. It was the most important family event as he was the first grandchild of our family. I was really excited about it and had made a lot of plans for it. Unfortunately, I didn't join the wedding because of my upcoming exams. I could have joined the wedding if the ceremony had been in our city, but it was in another city, Tampa. If I had gone there, I would have had to miss my studies for at least a week. So, I had to skip it. All of my cousins and family members attended the wedding, except me. My parents also went there. I felt very sad and sorry about it. I apologized to him, and he understood my situation. Now, I have plans to meet with him after my exams. He'll be very happy to see me.
