The Wedding

Image
I wake to the warmth of the sun on my face.   I slowly open my eyes, trying to remember what day it is.   A smile suddenly formed on my lips – today is the day!   I sit up, and peeking through the window, I could see trucks bearing flowers, food, chairs, tables, and other decorations.   I’m sure it’ll be a perfect day.   My eyes travel across the room to the gown on my mannequin – it’s the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen, made especially for me.   I can’t wait to put it on and get ready…but it might be too early.   I’m too excited, I’m not sure whether I should eat, but I remember Mama telling me last night to eat as early as I could, because I may not get another chance all day.   I text the other girls, asking them whether they wanted to grab breakfast.   Everyone said yes, and we all agreed to meet at the kitchen, where I’m sure food is ready.   I arrive to see a bunch of giggly, excited girls – oh we were all adults, but at that moment, we enjoy being young.   Wishes
