Wedding

Parisa's radiant spirit, goodly character and pure heart were responsible for me becoming a Baha'i only 2 years after I met her. I had just turned 13 and she was half a year younger. She left Slovakia where we went to school together a year later and although we have been in contact ever since there weren't many opportunities to spend time together.

This friendship, I feel it my duty to emphasize, is unique. This friendship doesn't depend on spending time, having fun nor showing love. It is a connection between two souls that will never be cut. Parisa is more than my sister, she is my soul's twin. Being with her I feel energized, purified and uplifted. I can see the future and all doubts cease.

And now Parisa got married to a person with no less illumined spirit, no less upright character and with heart filled with joy and love. Parisa and Daniel formed a union of which every person dreams. The earth had been shaken during their wedding. The words they uttered made every heart beat faster and every soul dance.

Daniel was looking at Parisa with such love and tenderness that every woman in the room wished to be her while her eyes showed loyalty, respect and trust which every wife should have. I saw the world being unified in front of me. I wish everyone on earth can find such peace, love and unity in their lives.

Unexpectedly and quietly tears burst into my eyes and I cried for no reason. I was wondering all this time what was it that made me cry. I don't know. The only thing I know is that last time it happened at my grandpa's funeral.

"Spolocne sa zaoberajte uslachtilymi tuzbami a vzletnymi predstavami. Nech medzi vami niet ziadnych tajomstiev. Svoj domov premente na pristav pokoja a odpocinku. Budte pohostinni a majte dvere domu otvorene tvaram priatelov a cudzincov. Privitajte kazdeho hosta so ziariacou laskavostou a nech kazdy citi, ze je to jeho vlastny domov."
