Congratulations to you and your son. As a parent, it is such an honor to see their child successfully achieve their goal. Your writing showed how joyous you were. May I offer you a suggestion: shorter paragraphs. The reader likes those.

What a great story - the story, because its true, and the story you've posted here, because it's so well written.
'Small groups of finely-dressed people dot the dance floor.'
I also like the way you fool the reader by describing a wedding scene that turns out to be a movie scene.
Well done!
Good luck in the contest.

    thank you for your kind words. The movie has a similar twist in it too. The trailer led people to believe it was about a wedding but tragically it really was the difficult journey afterward and then the promise of a new beginning. I am very proud of my son and his achievements and it's my pleasure to brag about his accomplishments. Thank you for reading and enjoying. Smiles to you!

This non-fiction or essay speaks how sometime dreams come true beyond expectation, incredibly, one's own or dreams somehow made true by son and pride of parenthood feels an indelible memory; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR
