The Wedding:
Today was the day, and I am not going to lie I was not happy. I stared at myself in the mirror, I just got finished getting my dress on. I was wearing an off the shoulder peach colored dress that fit my body like a glove I wand curled my hair so it fell around my face very nicely, I applied my make up and kept it neutral with gold and brown colors, I finished it off with a neutral lipstick from MAC. I slide my feet into my matching pep toe Micheal Kors stilettoes. By the time I got downstairs my doorbell rung, I knew it was Chris, I opened the door and their he stood. All 6'1 of his fine chocolate ass self, he had on a black suit with a peach colored tie. He looked so handsome in his suit I smiled up at him as he stepped into the door.
"You looking good enough to eat ma." He said making me blush.
"You don't looks bad yourself, sir." I said. he leaned in and placed those soft lips on mine. I put my hand on his cheek, he moaned when I did that. I pushed myself back and he looked at me like I was crazy.
"What, why you stop?"
"cause if we don't were never going to make it to the wedding and I will never hear the ending of it from Mam Ma." I chuckled, he smile and nodded. I grabbed my clutch and we left out the door.
********************************************************************************************
We arrived at the church I seen Shelly waving at me. She looked like she was glowing Jamal was standing beside her. Chris parked the car and we joined Shelly and Jamal entering the church. It was so nice when we walked in, she had calla Lilly's on the pews along the isle. I looked down the path until my eyes reached the Alter.
"Hey you good girl." Shelly asked me tapping my shoulder.
"Yea I am fine, hey you ok?"
"Yea why wouldn't I be?" she chuckled
"Oh nothing seems like you have this glow." I smiled and nodded towards Jamal. She gave me a tight lip smile.
"Girl please, I didn't want to show up here empty handed, come there goes your dad and mam ma." she said. I walked over to my dad and grandmother I hugged and kissed them both.
"you look beautiful baby." my dad said,,
"Thank you daddy."
"Sure does both you ladies look good, especially Shelly you sure is glowing baby you pregnant?" Mam Ma said. All the color drained from Shelly's face.
"No, cant a girl gain some weight." She laughed a nervous laugh.
"Well come on guys lets find some good seats I don't want to miss a thing." I said Chris came up behind me. "There you go where was you?"
"Oh I went to use the bathroom, you ok?"
"I am much better now that your here." I smiled up at him
"Flattery will get you everywhere." he winked I laughed we both walked to find us some seats. we sat next to Mam Ma and my father. The music started and the Wedding was beginning. I looked back to the alter and their stood Craig in his tux looking good as ever. Here I go again, now I was thinking about him right here in the church. Lord please forgive me for the thoughts that I am thinking. Everyone in the church stood to their feet when ' here comes the bride' theme song came on. We all looked to the back and their stood Courtney in a the same dress that she showed me in the store. The dress my grandmother gave her , the same dress my grandmother got married in and she ruined it. I looked at Mam ma and she did a faint smile. I knew she was hurt. My grandmother is the type of women that will never let you see it. She started down the isle when she got to Craig the preacher asked who gives her away, her mother rose and said she does. The whole time the ceremony was going on I just sat there and wished that was me. I was suppose to be up there next to the man that I was in love with. I was suppose to spend the rest of my life happily ever after. That was suppose to be not this bitch who didn't care about nobody but her damn self. When the pastor came to the part ' If their is anybody that feels like these Two should not be joined together in holy matrimony please speak now or forever hold your peace.' Courtney looked around the church then back at Craig and smiled. I DO !!!! wanted to shout this isnt right, that should be up there with that man not her. I couldn't bring myself to do such a thing, when nobody interrupted the wedding the Pastor continued and pronounced them husband and wife. The church applauded and whooped and hollered, congratulating the newlyweds. Chris squeezed my hand looking down at me. "You ok?" he asked me.
