I woke up at first light, the sun was seeping in through the gap in the curtains. A beautiful day, perfect in fact, even though I had thought it could not get any more perfect.
A smile spread across my face in realisation - today is the day, I was thinking. Today is the day.
I wandered about for a couple of hours, getting ready in a daze, with that silly smile still stuck on my face. Everyone around me was racing around, but for me the world didnt exist, only me and my thoughts of you, wondering what you were doing.
I stood in the hall, at the full length mirror for what seemed like ages, arranging and re-arranging my tie, liking the shirt that you picked for me, my shoes shining like new pennies, face clean shaven with that permanent smile going nowhere.
I feel a hand on my shoulder, and turn to face my brother, who smiles and winks and asks me am I ready? I glance past him at my ma, who is looking at me and wiping her eyes with a tissue. I let out a deep nervous sigh and nod and we set off....
..as I stand there and wait...I think back over it all...how we met, everything we have been through, everything to come for us. People were chattering around me but I didn't talk to anyone...I only waited...
...a silence filled the room...people hushing people...and then the music started and you came to me. I tried not to look, but I had to...and it was like you were floating. You reached me and all the air left me, my breath escaped me and I just stared at you, wanting to tell you, you looked...stunning...unable to speak...
...hanging onto your hand, smiling at me too, our son...a toddler now, looking more like you everyday...
...I looked you up and down and the nerves were gone. The moment I had been thinking of since the day I first held you...was here...
And I knew. I just knew.
I was so where I wanted to be, and the answer to that all important question I was about to be asked was
'I do...with all my heart I do...'
This time it was just a dream. But one day, if you'll have me, I'll make it real.
