"Oh my god," My mom said tightening my dress on me. "I think I'm more excited about this than you are." I could feel her smiling on the back of my neck. I sighed again. I was getting married. Something I thought wouldn't happen for another 5 years. Or even 10, cause I'm not the type to get serious in relationships like this. But, I love him so much, that I'll risk that much. Including the freedom and feeling of being .. free.
"I know," I kind of mumbled. And she turned me over to face her.
"What's wrong?" I scrunched up my face.
"Nothing, why?"
"I don't know, baby.." She said trying to get me to look at her. I hate when she does that. "But, it's your wedding day." She emphasized wedding day more than anything. "You should be so happy, but you don't look it." I sighed, and sat down.
"I'm fine, mama. Don't worry about me," She sat down next to me. "I'm just scared."
"Of what?"
"This whole wedding thing.. What if we're not really meant for each other and we rushed this whole thing?"
" If 3 years of a relationship is rushing, I must've been speeding when I met your dad." She tried to joke.
"That's not what I mean.. Like, what if--"
"Dawn," I braced myself for one of her wise and long speeches. "If you're having doubts, then maybe you guys should've thought about this more before diving in head first." It wasn't what I was expecting, but it was good enough. I guess. I thought about what she said for a good while, as silence took over the room.
"Okay, I'm fine." I said, standing up. "I'm ready for this. I love him, and he loves me. So, that's what marriage is about, right?" My mom stood back up behind me and continued lacing the dress.
"Right." She smiled at me through the mirror we were standing in front of.

"Nah, man. Not on my watch." I said to Chris as we sat in my car and I started it up.
"Where is this crazy nigga bringing me?" He jokingly shouted to no one in particular. I shook my head. This was not a time to laugh. My girl was out there getting ready to marry some fool. Yeah, I was a fool for letting her go, but he was a fool in general. I was speeding down the highway as Chris shuffled through the music on his iPod adapted to my speakers. He started playing some fruity ninetys R&B song, and sat back, singing along.

I got to the church, and I could hear the wedding music play from the outside. I parked real fast, and hopped out the car with Chris right behind me. As soon as I heard the priest, my heart stopped. Did they already get married? I thought as my heart began to beat quicker and quicker with anticipation. I pressed my ear to the church doors and Chris stood behind me looking bored.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God to join this man, and this woman in holy matrimony. Not to be entered into lightly, holy matrimony should be entered into solemnly and with reverence and honor. Into this holy agreement these two persons come together to be joined. If any person here can show cause why these two people should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace." I heard the minister say. I quickly opened the door wide, causing everyone's head to turn.
"They can't!" I told the room full of people. When Dawn saw me, her eyes immediately began to water. I know she felt like I keep ruining things for her, but I just can't let her go that easy. the pastor's head shot up in shock.
"Uh-um--" He stuttered not knowing what to do. "This never happens ..." He kind of mumbled to himself. I ignored all the eyes glaring at me and walked up to Dawn. I took my snap back off, and took her by the hands. She was too choked up to pull away.
"Dawn, I love you. We've been through too much together to just let all that go." She was staring back at me with an unreadable expression. I tried to understand the thoughts behind her eyes, but it was nearly impossible. So, I continued speaking from my heart. " You probably don't know this, but I need you more than anyone else in the world could ever need you. I've spent way too long in the shadows away from you, and I want to be wherever you are all the time. I'm not asking you to marry me, 'cause the last thing I would want to do is rush you," I said that last sentence and looked Bobby's way. He was over there throwing a temper tantrum, and I couldn't help but smirk a little, but I got back to seriousness quick. "But, I need you to think about this before you do it.." I trailed off a little, realizing that I was babbling,
"Where are you going with this?" Dawn said, her voice cracking. I hated making her feel like this. And I've been doing that often.
"I don't want you to get married to someone else if you know there's still feelings between us. We've known each other for how long? Years. And this," I said pointing around me at the wedding scene. "This isn't what you really want.. I know that. I need you to be real with me, Dawn, and yourself.."
"Why are you doing this?" She questioned me again. And I just shook my head.
"Love..?" She snatched her hands away from me, and ran out of the altar crying. I stood there watching her as she ran.
