Dedicated to all those who will wait no matter what to appear pure before 
their husbands, that first time on that glorious night.

Worth the Wait

I am sitting on the bed, mesmerised by the ray of light shining softly 
from beneath the bathroom door. You are in there getting ready, and I am 
waiting in silent anticipation. We have been married less than 6 hours, 
and this will be the first night of a lifetime together. 

By the grace of God we have held off, and have controlled the desires 
that often burned within us. We have managed to stay strong and pure, 
and to do what the world thinks impossible. We have managed to wait until 
this day to celebrate our love, and what we have is so worth the wait.

I will be the only one in your life to caress and embrace you. 
There were no others before me, and there will be none after. 
You have not experienced pleasure at the hands of another man, 
and no one has ever explored the surface and depths of your body. 

You will feel no embarrassment or self-consciousness about your body. 
When you stand gloriously naked in front of me, you will not feel shy 
or exposed as I longingly look upon you. You will not have to worry about 
me having seen this picture with a different face before.

I cannot even to begin to imagine the joy of nervous anticipation and glorious 
uncertainty that we will go through. We will both feel nervous and at 
times unsure, but we will both be in it together, and that is what matters. 
And it will be the most wonderful and beautiful thing in the world.

The lights then turn off and the door slowly opens and you shyly step forward. 
You are in your white satin night-gown and you approach me. I can hear the sound of your heart racing madly from across the room. You come to me and you 
smile, and we look into each others eyes and we know without a doubt, that this 
was so worth the wait
