After Two weeks

"It's finally happening," I said to myself as I paced back and forth. I peeped through the kitchen window. I can't believe it's in the backyard of my mum's house. It was an autumn wedding in the late afternoon. The area faced the breath-taking sunset, at the end of each seated aisle, jasmine-scented candles hung from naked tree branches. Spread down the aisle was autumn-coloured leaves as far as you could see, slightly moist so they would not crack when you stepped on it. We had a small group of close family and friends dressed in formal clothes.

"Okay, Freya it's time," said Re'al as she entered the room and began adjusting my veil. She stopped for a second and gave me a genuine smile "I hope you are happy with the choices you are going to make in life and no matter what happens I just want you to know that I will always be there for you"

"Me too," said a third voice that was way too familiar. I turned towards the source and of course, It was the one and only Will.

"I love you guys" I could feel the tear works begin to rise so I threw my head back facing the ceiling to prevent the tears from ruining the make-up as I began to fan myself.

"Look at this drama queen," said Re'al which made me laugh, she then bends down to my stomach and put her ear against it and said "Your mummy is going to make you do all the girly things"

I playfully nudged her away and just in time someone scooped me up and turned me around "You ready little sis"

"You are going to ruin my dress Mark, put me down"

"Be lucky I would normally ruffle your hair, but I could not do it today"

I stuck my tongue "Blaaa"

"Right enough the both of you, it's time for you to walk out" yelled Re. Mark scooped my hand in his as he escorted me down the aisle. The guests looked at me, took pictures of the dress, waved at me, and smiled. One thing was for sure, though.... No one made a sound. Up ahead I saw him, Derek. The love of my life, my everything. He stood taller, his shoulders back and his eyes on me. If I wasn't mistaken, I could have sworn tears filled his eyes. At the end of the aisle, Mark hugged me and then looked at Derek and said, "You are not allowed to make any mistakes" and then laced my hand in Derek while we stood as a couple in front of the priest.

"Dearly beloved" He began "we are gathered here today to witness this man and women together in holy matrimony"

The priest continued his speech afterwards exchanged vows.

"With the power invested in me by the state, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride"

Derek softly caressed my cheek and bent down and placed a soft kiss he was aware of everyone watching us as everyone cheered.

For when you are seven

Happy birthday my dear little one. I hope are having a beautiful day and enjoying your birthday. I hope dad gave you tons of gifts otherwise I will sort him out for you.

I am not sure what your favorite colour is at when this age or in fact any age, I don't even know what you like to do after a long day at school, or if you are the type to sit and watch Netflix the whole day if you are that type then you should go do your homework...Now!

I thought I might tell you that I finally had my fairytale wedding like what you see in the cartoons it was full of flowers and dancing...everything and everyone were filled with happiness. I never thought that it would be this beautiful especially since your dad planned It. I hate to admit it, but he is pretty good at planning parties, you should know that since he will be organizing many of your birthday parties. Even though you are inside my stomach growing, I just wish you could actually talk to me so I can get to know you better or even just get a slight idea of what you would be like as a baby. I love you a lot little one, by the way, I was playing around with names and so far, I am liking the name Evelyn for you...What do you think about it?

At this age, you probably made a lot of friends, or maybe you made that one best friend that is going to be a part of your life for many occasions, and you may have a lot of fights with her or him but that just going to make your friendship better. You might still be young, and I do not know what Is happening in your life right now but let me tell you that you don't need to be a certain age to experience life, but you should always remember that pain makes you stronger, it helps you to grow and develop, it helps you to become a better person.
