How to Drive a Groom's Car

Thursday, 13th September 2012, just after 3.00 pm,

Yet again, it's another Wedding...
I was so happy to take care of the Wedding Mass when one of my Best Ever Sister's Iyesha asked me to look into it. I even took a holiday no matter how much work I had. During the last few months I felt like it was my wedding. Because this sister is truely an invaluable part of my life. And it will always be that way!

As I promised, I was hanging around the church since afternoon monitoring all the preparations happening in and around the church. All the flower arrangements, choir and bla bla bla....
About 15 minutes ago,
Everything is now ready and I've prepared everything leaving nothing to anyone, not even to me. A big white Premio with charm decorations enters through the opened gates of the church. Finally there she is! I can hardly see the face through the shutters, so couldn't predict what my sis was wearing for the wedding.
Aha.... Just as I wished, a White dress with the net like thing on the face. A Beauty so Charming and Gorgeous, "The Perfect Bride". I'm pretty sure that no one would ever wanna take their eyes off her when you see her in that dress. Anyway, Just thought about noting down what I felt when I saw my Sis in her Wedding dress.

But, I feel that something is missing... Hmmm.... Let me see...
Oh my God! Where the hell on earth is the Groom? Grooms are always late it seems! :-P
Finally after a few minutes a white Allion entered the other gate of the church. Thank God it's him. Everything is now perfectly ready and the Wedding mass has just started...
I was at the back of the church, when some man in the church came to me asked,
"Would you mind taking that car out of the way, please?"
My goodness! It's the Groom's car! The Allion! How the hell am I gonna ask him to do that?
Keeping my fingers crossed I went around the church and signaled him to pass the keys? ;-)
Anyway, I've never stepped onto one of those before. So this is my only chance ride one! ;-) Huh!
He passes me a little box like thing. But,..... aaaaaaarrr what the heck!, it's not the key. It's just the key tag. What am I supposed to do with that? So puzzled! Can't ask him what to do with it in such a big day.

Since I too don't wanna get embarrassed in front of others, I decided I'll just explore it myself and started to walk to the car step-by-step carefully. Who knows it might shout back with a burglar alarm to chase me away. No problems with that. No intruder alarms activated. And I was able to unlock the doors with that key tag. I don't see any other use in that.
Opened the drivers door and sat on the drivers seat. It feels so comfortable. May be because it's an Allion. But, at that moment it was like an Alien to me. Okay...
Now how am I gonna start this thing? No keys to start. Okay, let see. I was looking here and there and finally found a Button with "Start". Aha.... Gotcha! I pressed it and it started with no sound! So cool, huh! ;-)
By that time I was feeling a little sweaty. Started driving it... But my journey ended after about 75 meters. :-( It was such a cool car! And I've never seen anything more comfortable than that. May be because I've been driving crappy old jeeps and old Toyota vans my entire life. Believe me it was like sleeping on a velvet bed.

Finally destination reached successfully with minimal embarrassment. Now the question is how am I gonna stop this thing? How am I gonna stop the engine? Yet again, I started looking for a clue and found a small "Stop" word. Bingo! Bingo! Go back to Sleep Allion!
Phew! That was close. And I'm out of here... 

It was such a moment to me. A memorable moment in my life. More importantly, 
"The day I drove a Groom's key-less car on my Best Sister's Wedding day" 
So, this post is specially written to my "Iyesha akka" and her husband "Wasantha aiya". Your little brother wishing you a very Happy life ahead with Love and all the blessings.
