For Forever...

Best Day Ever

Best Day Ever

August 14th, 2004

An entire year went by in a flash and I couldn't believe my day was finally here. I was so excited and scared at the same time. But I'm being told this is what women are supposed to feel on their wedding day. After all the issues we had with trying to find a venue finally everything went smooth when a friend offered us his home. It was perfect for an outdoor wedding. We had tents just in case it was going to rain, but there was no rain in sight at all. It was a beautiful day and only 80 degrees with a gorgeous breeze. Everything was gearing up to be perfect. We had our bachelor/bachelorette parties last weekend which was entertaining there at the end of the night to say the least. Now here I was getting ready with my girls for my perfect day with my perfect man that I couldn't wait to spend the rest of forever with.

"Kay!!!!!!!" Tristian squealed "Here this is from Jensen he said you don't have to wear it but you should!" She handed me a box. Which I opened quickly it was a beautiful bracelet, and my 'something new' an gorgeous probably white gold or platinum knowing Jensen, the bracelet had an infinity sign on it. I put it on my wrist just as there was a knock on the door. Tristan went over to open it. "You can't come in here"

"Just let me in babe." I heard my brother say laughing as he pushed the door open and he and my dad came in. Both of them instantly in awe and almost in tears. "Well don't you clean up nice" I smiled at my brother as he gave me a hug. Pulled away and got a good look at me before my dad pushed him out of the way.

"Oh my baby girl, I know we've had our ups and downs with this boy, but I couldn't be happier that you are marrying into such an amazing family. I am honored to be gaining another son even though I already look at his as a son."

"Daddy save it for the speech otherwise you're going to make me cry. I can not ruin this artwork before I see my man." He laughed and hugged me tight not wanting to let go.

"I love you baby girl."

"I love you too daddy." He let go nodded his head and we all decided that it was time. A few squeals and more hugs and here I was standing watching my girls walk down the isle one by one with boys in-tow. I took a deep breath grabbed my daddy's arm tight and turned the corner to walk into Jensen's sight. The look on his face was beyond priceless. The tears in his eyes so genuine. His guys standing next to him patting him on the back...just perfect. I got up to him and couldn't stop my smile.

"Hey." I laughed as did he. We said our vows and he happy dipped me to kiss his now bride. Our pictures went without a single hitch as we walked over under the beautiful tent all lit up with twinkles lights as the DJ played and all of our friends and family got their food buffet style. We all were sitting down eating enjoying our meals when I knew it was time for all of the speeches, I told Tristian that she didn't have to do it and actually begged her not to but we all knew that wasn't going to happen. She wouldn't let me go off without being embarrassed and either would my brother. My parents stood up first, Jensen's parents joined them.

"Our baby girl, all grown up...These two...I'm not sure how well all of you know the love story of these two. Some people are going to tell you their love was out of know where." My mom said

"We know better than that. When we had found out that our best friends were having a girl we knew that we were doomed. Carol and I knew that we needed to start planning now for this big day." Donna said

"Granted it took a little longer than expected..." My mom said looking over at my dad.

"And yes there were some bumps in the road." My dad said.
