"Listen, Love, we need to end things."
Listening to my boyfriend
I feel the bond between us shatter into fragments that tear my heart apart.
The familiar heaviness covers my chest, making it hard to breathe
I fight the panic and sadness as I try t...
I can't believe in less than an hour, I will be Mrs. Temor, Hasan Dillon.
My mother and Camila are busy getting me ready and trying to keep my nerves in check. I decided to wear my grandmother's dress. It was a beautiful long-sleeved, floor-length satin dress with lace appliques on the shoulders and a lace and satin train. My veil was made with lace and white roses crowning my head.
Once my makeup was done, and I was dressed, it was time to put the veil on. This duty was for my mother. When my mother covered my face, she cried. " You are no longer just my little girl; you are now going to be Temor's wife."
"Mommy, I will always be your little girl first," I said, hugging her tight.
Looking around the room, I see my bridesmaids. They look stunning in their amethyst long sleeve off the shoulder dresses. Camila's dress was the same but a lighter shade.
Camila walked over to me and squeezed my hand " Are we really doing this? You know my car is parked right out front." she said, then smiled at me, "We are doing this." I said and we laughed.
" Thank you, Mila, for always being by my side," hugging her close; I know I am lucky to have such a loyal best friend.
You know where there's smoke, there's fire baby." she said. Then we walked to the elevator to go downstairs. My mom arranged for us to take the service elevator so nobody would see me before the wedding.
The wedding party has all walked in, and now it is my father and I waiting to walk in, "Minah, I love you, baby girl. Just remember Daddy always got your back." he kisses me on the hand.
I am about two seconds from breaking down, and then I hear my song
A Ribbon in the Sky and Dad and I begin to walk down the Aisle.
I see friends and family smiling on either side of me, and Temor is waiting for me straight ahead. My heart is beating so fast, I focus on Temor to stay calm and keep the tears at bay. I almost make it without crying until I hear.
"We can't lose with God on our side
We'll find strength in each tear we cry
From now on it will be you and I"
The tears are falling, and I have stopped a few feet from where I need to be. My Dad is squeezing my hand, assuring me it's okay, but I can't move. I see Temor walking to me, my dad gives him my hand. "I will always come for you, Mi Amor," he whispers in my ear, I feel calm, and we walk the rest of the way together.
Temor's POV
I am standing in front of all our friends and family waiting for my baby. I hear the music start that lets me know she is coming. I finally see her walking with her father, and for a moment, I can't breathe; she looks gorgeous. She decided to wear her grandmother's dress, although it looked like it was made just for her. I look at her grandmother, and she is smiling and crying. Turning my attention back to my baby
"Oh, so long before this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day."
I hear the lyrics; my emotions are winning. I feel Damien touch my shoulder. I don't care that all these people are here. I let my tears fall because this almost didn't happen. Finding someone to love who truly sees me, the real version of me, and accepts me leaves me humbled.
I see my sweetheart, and she is crying. She keeps walking and then stops. Her dad is whispering in her ear, but she is not moving. Instinctively I go to her. She is probably nervous, but when she sees me, she will be fine. I let Love know I will always come for her making our way to the Pastor so we can become official.
We exchange our vows, and then I hear, " You may kiss your bride." Before the Pastor was finished talking, I lifted her veil and placed my hands on either side of her face; I kissed my wife. That was the best kiss ever because we now belong to each other forever.
Before brunch, Love is dancing with her father to Stevie Wonder Isn't She Lovely? I can see where she gets her moves from as she dances with her dad. Mr. Amor is a smooth one out there, light on his feet. I dance with my mom to Marvin Gaye. How Sweet it is to be Loved by You. My mother and I didn't do bad out there either. It was a great morning. After brunch, everyone went their separate ways, hopefully, to rest up for the celebration tonight. I personally was going to get acquainted with my new wife, Mrs. Valeria Minah Dillion.
