A Wedding Gift Cheque

I never thought of giving a wedding a gift to any of my friends as we were busy studying.

But unfortunately, and due to some personal reasons, one my friend got married to his childhood girlfriend.

They were bright students in a reputed college, and were from good family background.

And their marriage was against the wish of their parents.

They were thrown out of their families when their parents came to know of the news.

But they decided to face the challenge from their parents, and went ahead with their wedding plan.

They had a registered marriage in a local court.

And...

The actual dilemma for a wedding gift started when we were planning for their reception in their rented room.

My friends decided to give clothes, kitchen sets and other household items as gift for the just married couple.

And considering the situation of the couple, my friends were all right in their own terms and they gifted the same.

At the reception, I gave them a cheque of Rs.50000 covered in an ordinary envelope.

Just after the reception, I receive a call from the couple.

It says all...

They thanked me from their hearts.
