Will over the Wall

I have known this guy for some years now. I have seen this guy tide over the good, the bad and the ugly times. Mr. D, is a close acquaintance and a friend ;)

I met this guy through a common friend and I knew this association is destined for a long innings. Tragically, the next time I met him, he was devastated. His father had expired a few months back and her mom was on the death bed. Although, not very close, something made me go and stay at the hospital the whole night through. Not that, it could have helped him anyways, but for me I don't know exactly what but something made me stop. Well, her mom couldn't brave the cancer but his spirits did brave all those tumultuous moments. He was left with an elder brother, who think he is superhuman, and therefore a complete waste of intelligence; and a sister who didn't care much. The only sane person from his family, I met was the outsider, his brother–in–law.

Life goes on.... He found love next door...a brick wall, not thicker than 6", separated him from his girlfriend and the distance he had to cover to tide over that wall was enormous.
A dulcet voice greeted me this morning while I was still in bed, to tell me that the wall had finally been breached. He finally married the girl he loved, and amazingly her parents made a complete turnaround at the last moment, finally giving their kind consent. ( they would have married anyways ;) )

I am told, in my absence, there was a man stranger than me in the marriage ceremony........some German engineer, who wanted to watch an Indian wedding...........well, we are certainly known for our hospitality and I saw a pic of this German wearing a traditional Maharashtrian turban....

Did I hear something being said about Will over the Wall ?? ;)
