WEDDING....MR GRAND(Not Real Name)
Mr Grand has been working in the past 31 years in the oil industry which offers the best condition of service...good salary, generous allowances. He rose through the ranks from a junior clerk to middle level senior staff . His only child and daughter was about to wed.
Besides Mr Grand has attended several flambuoyant weddings in the past with admiration.
Mr Grand got himself involved in the planning financing and execution of his daughters wedding to his taste and standard. It was as if he was the one wedding. 90% of the invitees were his friends and colleagues and the bride his prospective son-in-law and the bridegroom where more like spectators.
The wedding dug a deep hole in the pocket of Mr Grand.
He took loan, invited all and sundry to attend the wedding especially the reception. There was a lot to eat and drink and even to steal. He was given a standing ovation by his friends and colleagues in appreciatiob for a wedding well financed and executed and generous.
The aftermath is that Mr Grand fell ill could not resume work , was admitted to hospital for 2 weeks after being diagnosed of extreme exhaustion and high blood pressure of unknown origin.
Another example of self inflicted and expensive stress?
His only reward was accolades from friends and colleagues which is NOTHING, I reckon.
