It is simple. It is not over written. No cliches. Not an adjective for every noun. It interests. It says a lot in a few lines. It sets up questions. I want to read on. So good start. I copied it from the e-mail without the name so that I did not even register who wrote it. I will do that with the other examples coming up. But whoever wrote this, you know who you are and this is good.

Some things are irrevocable   .  The day my grandmother walked into church and made her marriage vows in front of God, the vicar and hardly anyone else, she did something from which there was no turning back.   Of all the old family photographs I have collected, I can find none of that day.  I only know what she told me, about the suit she bought with coupons   and how my grandfather stumbled over the words of the service.  How they went on honeymoon to her aunt's house near Ramsgate, crammed onto the train with their cardboard suitcase and my father, a serious little blond boy of two, held between them.
