| Ready for the Walk down the Aisle My eyes anxiously look at the pews in the church. I twist the engagement ring on my left hand. It�s so quiet, I think, standing alone in my lace gown. Tomorrow, I�ll start a new life with a wedding band. When I was little, I dreamed of this day. A fairy princess, I�d float down the aisle. My handsome prince would wait at the alter. I would wear glass slippers and a beautiful smile. This isn�t the same at all. It�s been patience, excitement, hard work and stress. My childhood is coming to an end. Now a new family and name I�ll possess. God, am I ready for this? To make vows, to be his partner, his wife? Tomorrow the church will be full, of friends and family to celebrate our new life. The sudden urge to flee appears. My stomach is tied up in knots. How do people do this every day? My face feels flushed and so hot. Just then, hands encircle my waist Familiar, large, gentle hands, he�s held me close all my life, and now he�ll entrust me to another loving man.. |
