He Used to.......

My father used to deliver valuable speeches at weddings.

One such speech is as follows:

"We must treat our parents, relatives and adults as much as we can. We must always take their advice.
But at your own home, whether to keep the pot containing flower on dining table or by the side of the window shall only be decided by the two of you."

In Sinhala in his own words:

"Kasaada bandata passe Ammala Thaththalata, Nadayinta saha Wadihitiyanta bohoma hondata salakanna ona. E ayage awawaada anushaasana labaaganna ona.
E vunata, thamunge gedara thiyana mal pochchiya thiyanne kaama mese langada, nathnam janele gawada kiyana eka theeranaya karanna ona oya denna witharai. Wena katawath ekata angili gahanna thiyanna epa.

This story is very meaningful and gives one of the best advices to a newly wedded couple.
