"This is such a beautiful wedding you've put on Margret, how is your family so perfect?" My Aunt Michelle said raving to my mom all about our 'perfect' family. Don't get me wrong we aren't that far from being perfect, we would be too. If I wasn't for me. I can't talk, I have speech delay that caused my vocal cords to shut down when I was born.The doctors say that my voice will come back at some point in my life but they don't know when, I've tried talking but all that comes out is air. So what could have been a perfect family was ruined by this minor thing, but thats what happens when you live in a small town, people talk. And the problem is, I can't. I've learned sign language and all of my family and friends have but it's not the same as really talking. My sister says when you talk your throat vibrates from your vocal cords moving, I wish I could feel it but wr a arent really that close anymore, once she left for collage.
"What do you think darling?" all eyes turned to me.
"Accuse me, I need the restroom" I signed to get out of the awkward situation. I walked quickly out of the church auditorium and into the hallway where the bathrooms were located. I was look down at my feet when I ran into a wall. No not a wall, a person. I fell to the ground right on my bottom hard, my nose cringed on pain.
"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" A masculine voice asked from above me. I look up and see none other that Adam Johnson, the star lacrosse player at my high school, we both just graduated this spring. It's almost August and I hadn't seen him since. He was never mean to me, but we hardly ever talked, well he hardly ever talked to me.
"Here let me help you up." He said extending his hand, I took it gratefully and he pulled me to my feet. I grabbed my phone and out of my pocket, opened notes and wrote "thank you :)" and handed it to him.
"I know how to sign." he responded signing and saying to words.
"Really, how come?" I signed back.
"Because I wanted to talk to you." He signed and said with a huge smile plastered on his face. I was very confused by this, we have only spoken about twice in our whole lives, why would he learn sign language just for me?
"I don't think I understand," I signed, "why would you learn sign language just for me?"
"Because, you and me are going on an adventure." He responded using sign language only.
"What do you mean?" I signed in confusion.
"You'll find out." He responded only verbally this time, walking away, leaving me with only his words and the sent of his cologne.*********
Every person rose as my sister walked by. She looks breathtaking. I look over at her husband Tim. Everyone could see the tears forming in his eyes. I am only about 15 feet away from him because I am the maid of honor. I look over and see Adam in the line of groomsmen, he's looking at me dead in the eyes and smiling. I look away so he wouldn't see me blushing but I think he already did because I can see him chuckling in achievement.
"I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love. I will always be honest with you, kind, patient, and forgiving. But most of all I will try to be a true a loyal friend to you, I love you." My sister said like the words came right from her heart, they are really meant for each other.
"You are my lover and my teacher. You are my model and my accomplice, and you are my true counterpart. I love you, honor you, and hold you, I will respect you, encourage you, and cherish you. In health and sickness. Through sorrow and success, for all the days of my life." Tim responds. The crowd awes in adoration.
"Do you Tim, take Cameron, to be your lovely wedded wife, In sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" The pastor asked.
"I do" he said letting a tear slip his eye.
"And do you Cameron take Tim to be you lofty wedded husband, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do" she said with a huge smile.
"You may now kiss the bride."
And well you know what happens after that.{Authors Note}
