the day is finally here. I stand in front of the mirror staring at my reflection so ready to finally marry roman. The day is actually here its almost unbelievable, My makeup has been done to perfection I begged my ma to do a natural look for today. Letting her get me ready is all that i could let her do to make her happy,

If you ask me I'm just grateful that I'm finally out of that hospital we were in there for weeks but thanks be to God my strong Iris gained weight at a scary rate as the nurses said but they don't understand its because me and roman prayed for her so heavily that God heard us.

Now my smile is finally restored and I only have God to thank for it.

"Alright. come on now let me see you!" My mother pleads, I can hear her clapping her hands together so excited to see me come out of the bathroom in the dress we got.

A part of me is still trying to adjust to the look of my body, i haven't seen myself without a bump in months and now that my stomach has gone all the way down to where it used to be before my curves are bigger than ever framed around the white lacy designed mermaid dress. My breasts fit perfectly inside the sweetheart cups that sit on top of my chest although I've been breast feeding a lot more which only makes me pray they hold up for the wedding.

My fupa tries its best to stay tucked into this dress but she is just as ready to be loosened from this dress as i am. The ends of it are flary and lose with the lace flowing alongside of it. I look like a bride with my jet black wavy hair laying on both sides of my shoulders gracefully.

"Ziana Carter get your butt out here now!" Ma cries out making me laugh i take a deep breath out looking at myself in the mirror one last time twirling to embody the inner princess i feel like i am.

My hand presses down on the door handle to the private dressing room in the venue. When me and roman finally started planning the wedding the only thing that was on our minds was finding the right place for it. He suggested that we travel to another country for it, but i quickly shut the idea down.

I wanted something simple. Something intimate and private, something that doesn't say i just wasted my life's savings on this day. Maybe that's just how my mind has been trained from youth, because ever since I was a kid we never had all the money to spare on something that big. I've learned so much how to appreciate the small things that i don't know how to enjoy the big things.

I don't even remember the fact that today the money for the will is going to be released for everyone involved. That all of that money will actually be in our hands and everything I said I was never able to do would actually become a possibility. That the life that I lived in poverty will end with me. that I am the one who breaks the generational curse of lack of wealth in my family.

It ends with me!

And because of this, my daughter will never hear the words no. Not once. Some part of me can't help but think this all has to be the confusing but rewarding plan of God. God, I thank you so much.. even when I doubted you, you came through.
