Introduction
I have gone through various captivating episodes in my life but I do not think that there is any one that beats my wedding day. A wedding is a celebration that brings pleasure to everyone involved including the family members and friends. My wedding took place on18 May in 2010.It was a delightful day and was characterized by the occasional peeking of the May sun. A cool breeze rustled in the atmosphere from the west giving a cooling effect to the wedding’s invitees as each took a seat on the gazebo walk’s is either side.
Cool classical music played in the background and I could not believe that I was finally getting married to the love of my life, Steven. What a memorable day it would turn out to be! Streamers and balloons fluttered in enclosed railings with the vibrant red, green, and blue colors radiating throughout the premises. Rows of luxurious cars stood parked on the far side of the venue’s left and the overhead sun made them glitter.
As I sat in the dressing room with the make up artist putting the final touches on my face, I could not stop thinking about how everything looked lovely and perfect. When she was through, I stood up, took my bouquet of flowers and headed towards where the groom and the entire audience were waiting. I clutched tightly to my dad’s hand as we slowly walked down the path leading to the gazebo. The background music started to fade slowly and was replaced by bridal choruses as heads were abruptly turned towards the walk’s far end where I was making my entrance. At the far end stood Steven, the best man, Geoffrey and then bishop who was conducting the ceremony. As I slowly walked towards him, I could not help but grin widely at my soon to be husband. He had never looked so handsome in a black suit and I was simply blown away. I wore a white wedding gown that was strapless and my bodice was covered with embroidery. The gown was also sewn with pearl beads and rhinestones. In addition, I wore a golden veil with a matching headpiece. In my hand was the silk bouquet of French roses.
As we reached the last step of the walk, my dad who had been holding my hand the entire time let go and I stepped onto the gazebo. Steven gave me as stunning and reassuring smile and whispered to me about how beautiful I looked and I complemented him likewise.
The bishop took the microphone and the ceremony officially commenced. He smiled at the audience as he made the opening remarks and welcomed everybody to the ceremony. The sound system had been was very good and everything said was clearly audible to all who were present. The bishop conducted the opening prayer and all this time I could not wait to say I do.
After the ending of the prayer, the bishop then proceeded to the next step of leading us through our vows. My little nine-year-old cousin Johnnie who was holding the rings came over and handed them to Steven. As he placed the ring on my finger and uttered the magic words ‘I do’, I was still unable to comprehend how I had managed to land such a handsome gentleman as my husband. I took the other ring and placed on my finger as I my love for him and also said ‘I do’. After exchanging the vows, the bishop then declared us as husband and wife. We then shared a passionate kiss as the entire audience applauded loudly with claps and cheers.
As walked down the gazebo hand in hand, the bridesmaids and groomsmen followed suit and music took over once again. There were many hugs and kisses as everyone congratulated my new groom and me and wished us all the best in our endeavors.
It was arguably the best day of my life and although it took place about two years ago, I still remember it like it was yesterday.
