Adam smiled at me as I was walking down
aisle, I couldn't help but to smile back.
I was wearing my something old, something new, my something borrowed, and my something blue. He of course, was wearing a tux, and a gorgeous smile on his face. Tears started to stream down my face when I realized, we are all grown up. This is the beginning of a beautiful life with the one I love.
I can remember it like it was yesterday, I was sitting at my favorite cafe, 'The White Rose' , when I noticed Adam. He was my waiter, he brought me my mocha frappe and insisted it to be on the house. I smiled as I took a sip of the drink. He sat down across from me and i, being the curious gal that I am, started asking lots of questions. I remember the first question I asked him was "Who are you." I asked this, because I came to this cafe quite often, and have never seen him here before. "My name's Adam." He said, in a confident tone, not hesitating to shake my hand.
"Anna." I said. "I haven't seen you around here before..."
"Yeah, you probably haven't. I'm just visiting my grandmother for the summer. This is just a part time, summer job, while I'm staying here. I live about an hour away in that direction." He said pointing behind him.
"Adam, get ova' here now!" I turned around and saw Maggie staring at us.
"Bye." He said, taking my hand again, and shaking his head. "See you here again tomorrow?" He called after me. I nodded my head yes. That was the beginning of our 'forever.'
As I neared the alter, Adam reached out his hands and led me up the steps. When my right foot crossed the top step, I was face-to-face with the love of my life. A small tear escaped my eye. I felt Adam squeeze my hands a little tighter. I looked up into his eyes, and he smiled.
"Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today, to witness and celebrate the union of Adam Armstrong, and Anna Heartline, in marriage. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife." He then went on to the readings:
"Adam and Anna, seek from within yourselves the serenity to accept the things you cannot change. The courage to change the things that you must. And the wisdom to know the difference. Live each day, one day at a time enjoying your time together, one moment at a time. Seek the wisdom of the experience, learning all that you can from each other, accept hardships as the building blocks of experience, realizing that accepting both the good and bad are simply a part of being alive. Strive to make as many things right as humanly possible in your life together. That you may be reasonably happy in the life you share from this day forward."
The vows are up next in our wedding, the preacher starts with:
"Do you Adam, take Anna to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live? To be your partner in life and sharing your path; equal in love, a mirror for your true self, promising to honor and cherish, through good times and bad, until death do you part? To be your Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part? To be your partner in life, to support and respect her in her successes and as well her failures, to care for her in sickness and in health, to nurture her, and to grow with her throughout the seasons of your life together? As your life mate and one true love, promising to share in all that life offers and suffers, to be there for her in times of need, to soothe her in times of pain, and to support her in all endeavors, big and small?"
