(Musical Suggestion: That's all I've got to say -Scott Grimes and Leighton Meester duet)
I'm in my white dress, hair, makeup, and everything at our 'Park in the Sky' venue was decorated and perfect. Every one was ready and I was every bit as nervous as if I was unsure of saying 'I do'.
As I walked down the aisle looking straight into his eyes all I could think was, there he is my handsome man, my partner, my friend, how I am so lucky.
I couldn't tell you who was there and I only know the song that was playing because I picked it. All that held my attention was what I could see.
All I could see was this beautiful soul at the end, waiting for me.
Tears threatened but did not come as we joined hands, smiling.
My rock, my shelter, kept me steady and I don't even know how I made it through the ceremony or what was all said.
"I will love, protect and honor you all the days of my life." I somehow got the words out as I slipped the ring onto his finger.
All I remember are his eyes, filled with so much love and tenderness, and his smile before and after we kissed.
I remember biting my bottom lip afterwards and saying softly to him again, "I do, John."
That's when the shouts from the assembled crowd shocked me into acknowledging their presence.
We had pictures taken while our guests were seated, drinks served and the buffet laid out.
We were ushered in and announced for our first dance as husband and wife, (That's all I've got to say, from our favorite show) we were served our dinner as people toasted us and congratulated us.
We cut the cake and served each other nicely....enough. Just a little icing on the nose, before he kissed me, putting it right on to my face.
The day passed so quickly, everything was a blur of happiness, dancing, and John , always John.
It was a beautiful day.
(JOHNS POV)
'Damn, what did I do right?'
I haven't stopped smiling all day, my friends are congratulating me patting me on the back before finding a seat as I stand fidgeting at the alter.
'I'm a little nervous, a little anxious, when am I getting to see her?
Is it really only 4:25? That clock must be broken, I swear it said that 10 minutes ago.'
I keep looking for the wedding coordinator to cue everyone to sit down already.
'I'm ready to see my wife.'
'My Wife. Wow, I get to call her that now, My Wife.'
'Seriously what did I do right to get this? To deserve to be this happy with an amazing woman.'
'Oh finally, here comes the coordinator, that means it's time.'
'Oh it's time....., God please let her still say yes.'
'Okay John I repeat, hold your self together man.'
I look to where she will be and suddenly I feel like I've been stuck in a bubble.
Everything else going on I can't hear and I don't see anything but her.
She is the epitome of beauty, and I never imagined how sexy and elegant she would be in that white dress.
Then I realize it's not the dress, SHE is glowing.
It's just her, those green eyes that I could search an eternity and still love like it is the first time seeing them.
That nervous smile that she gives to just me, the woman that seems so together, so strong, gets nervous with me, weak for me.
She slips the ring on my finger, my heart is ready to burst with how much I love this woman.
"I will Love, protect and honor you all the days of my life." I tell her calmly as I slide the ring onto her hand, because I know more than anything else, I am hers, and she is mine.
I kiss her gently, and as I pull away she whispers, "I do, John."
It takes everything in me not to carry her away and make love to her until our flesh becomes one.
The rest goes by in a blur, I'm directed to stand this way, look this way, kiss.
I like the kissing my wife part, that's the easy part.
Now we're dancing as husband and wife, and I know the song. It's from our favorite show to watch together. I Love this woman.
Food, oh and cake, I remember cake because she put it on my nose, but I didn't care because I just kissed her and gave it right back.
I've never been so happy, I think I am going to end up crying. Later though, when it's just me and her I plan on putting these emotions to work across that beautiful body that encases that captivating soul that I admire so much.
This woman that has encompassed my life and has become the meaning for my existence.
I don't remember much of the day, other then I was high on bliss, and Mary, always Mary.
It was a beautiful day.
