Joan's pov: The Wedding Day Jitters
"It happened long time ago about 30 technically 20 years ago if you don't count my age Forty! I was with my momma our father just died and momma was marrying me off to Mr. Fosters son Jon!" I said
"Well what happened?" Raven asked
"Well my Momma dressed me up and did my hair I was just twenty and very nervous! I remember after I put the dress on and was looking in the mirror at my Momma I turned around hiding tears I gave a weak smile!"I said starting to cry
"Oh you must have been terrified!"Raven said also in tears
"I know I am terrified I'm so scared!"she added
"Yes and I remembered the day clearly as if it was happening right now!"I said I grabbed ravens hand and walked her to the mirror!
" I was standing here and she had did my hair up like this!" I said braiding her hair in different directions!
"The same twist like mine!"I said fastening it off with a ribbon of Green.
"Its beautiful so what happened after you turned around?" Raven asked turned around
"She smiled and kissed my cheek and said go ahead there are many times people cry in their life! I remember telling her shakily I was fine!"I said smiling
"Did she explain those reasons for crying?"Raven asked looking like she wanted to cry!
"I'll tell you what she told me Raven!"
"Every girl in one lifetime to the next always cry!
Once, when they are born,
Twice, when they lose their parent Third, is when their heart is broken Fourth, is if its a very happy event like a marriage!
Five, is when they bare a child for the first time!
Six,is when they bring forth the child they bared
Seven, is if they are sad
Eight, is when they are scared!" I said
"What was your mother's name?" Raven asked blinking
"Sera!"I said
"Now when it came to walking down the isle I made it to the middle before running away! My mom rushed after me found me by the oak tree by the lake where I met Jon I was on the ground crying!"I said tying the neck of the dress!
"The dress is pretty! But Mom I'm so scared I'm afraid to get married I am too young for a baby! Oh Momma hold me!"Raven said hugging me tightly
The dress was an ivory one piece with a revealing back and a pretty lace front with a v neck and two straps!
"Don't worry child I'll help you out with everything all you gotta do is say yes you vow to wed and wait till death does you part you will be fine I'm sure of it!"I said soothing her while she cried
"Your time is now child let's settle the tears and wash your pretty face!"
"I'm only seventeen I'm not ready yet!" Raven said releasing me!
