You Take My Breath Away

The Wedding

It's January 21, 1975. Our Wedding Day !! I can't believe it's finally here !! I've invited a lot of my friends and family members here to see me get married to the guy I've been obsessed with ever since I was 16 !! A lot of my friends we're actually happy and not surprised that I was gonna marry him. They knew I was gonna. The wedding doesn't start till 3PM. So, Roger and I were getting ready for our wedding. I asked my father to walk me down the aisle, and he agreed to do it.

My father wanted to have a word with me before the wedding starts. So, I excused myself, and went over to my father. He told me Roger better take good care of me. I told him he will. Because, I know he will. My father is just doing what a father does, I know. Typical father to daughter stuff. It ain't new. It was around 2:30PM. It was almost time for the wedding. I'll be honest, I was really shy to see the side of Roger's family. Because I don't know them. Roger me Freddie, Brian and John are at our wedding. I was happy to hear Brian's out of the hospital. I asked Roger where will they be, and he told me they're his best man. So. They'll be behind him while we get married.

Clare, Roger's mother, and my mother, will be behind me while we get married. I'm so happy that this is finally happening. The wedding has started. Roger was waiting for me to walk down the aisle. My father and I started walking down the aisle, towards Roger. Just by looking at him, I can tell he was nervous. But, I feel the same way. So, he's not alone. As we were walking towards Roger, I realized Roger's mother wasn't here. And I also realized Brian wasn't here. I was confused and nervous on why they weren't here.

I was now facing Roger. Everyone looking and paying close attention to us. The speaker talked for a while, and then asked Roger, "Do you take this lovely women as your wife ?" Roger then said, "I do." Then the speaker asked me, "Do you take this man as your lovely husband ?" Then I said, "I do." Then the speaker said, "Well then. I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." We both leaned toward each other and kissed. Everyone was cheering. Then, we walked down the aisle together.

We went inside to do our wedding party. And I noticed Roger sitting alone with a drink in his hand looking depressed. He's doing the same thing he did at his own party on Christmas Eve. I asked him what was wrong. And then he started crying saying, "My mother and Brian were supposed to be here. And they're not." I felt bad. I gave him a hug and told him everything will be okay. Then, he wiped his tears away, and I asked him to dance with him. He got up, and started dancing with me.

We were dancing for an hour. Then we stopped and sat down for a while. We then ate our wedding cake, and then Roger drove me back to his flat. He told Freddie to call the hospital to see if Brian and his mother were still there. He obeyed, and called the hospital. It turned out, his mother was home the whole time. And forgot about the wedding. And it also turned out, Brian won't be coming back till the 24th of January. Roger was pissed and upset. But, he forgot all about it and started snuggling with me on the couch. Now that we were a couple, I felt like I was gonna be living with him.

I asked him where we both should live. And he told me here was fine. And that was fine by me. The wedding was exhausting. I was walking around getting pictures with everyone there. Not that I hated doing it. It was fun, don't get me wrong. But it was so exhausting on my feet. I told Roger my feet were aching badly. He got up, grabbed an ice pack, and put it on my feet. I love him so much. He was in a pissy mood and he still did something to take care of me. I don't only have him as a husband, but I have him as a best friend. I don't ever want to lose him.

After watching TV for a while, we both went up to get some rest. We changed, made out, and turned out the lights and went to bed. He started snuggling with me. And then he whispered, "I love you, Ash." And then kissed me on the cheek. We fell asleep snuggling each other. I couldn't stop thinking about Roger's cute little face all through my dreams.
