Surreal moment
Sometimes I think that life is too good to be true. I reach a monumental occasion and I think, “Whoa, I’m here!”
I woke up on the morning of my wedding and I thought, “Days like today should be stopped for reflection, but the moments keep flying at you faster and faster until you realise there is no time for reflection.” Before you know it, the moment has passed. Suddenly, I have found myself to be married to my best friend.
The wedding was perfect. God blessed us with a beautiful day. The weather was cool and the air was clear. The sun was shining and my groom could not stop smiling. I had my very own fairy tale wedding. We were standing under the trees, a little creek bubbled over rocks behind us. My dad gave me away to my best friend. We pledged our lives together “for better or for worse til death do us part.” We were presented to our friends and family as Brenton and Sunny Ellis. We were both beaming. How could I stop smiling? I had just married my best friend.
We cut the cake, hugged our friends, and ran out in a shower of birdseed. My cheek muscles were aching from so much smiling, but I have so much joy inside of me that I cannot contain it all. As the sun set, we climbed in Brenton’s truck. The back window had “Just Marred” written in squirty whipped cream. The front said “Get R’ Done”–Thanks Ian.
Trying to avoid all the pedestrians, we peeled out of the park and started our life together.
“Damn the torpedos! Full speed ahead”
