I wake up, Look in the mirror and realize, today is the day I’m going to marry the man of my dreams. This is a day like no other. The first day that I will be combine all of myself, with another human being. A love like ours is of course, a love like no other. I look in the mirror as I put on my wedding dress, slowly zip it up, I realize that in a few hours I will speak my vows. A moment that is so exciting yet so nerve racking as well. I want to take my vows with the upmost serenity. I only want to do this once. I want to honor this man with all I have. I need to make this man the happiest he can be. Next I slid I pearl necklace around my neck and secure it ever so carefully. Thinking of those I have lost through the years and wishing they could be here today. Lastly I slide on my shoes wishing good thoughts that they will not hurt my feet too badly through the day. I look at my finalized self in a full length mirror and can’t help but feel so grown up. A tear starts to slide down my face as I comprehend daddy’s little girl images flashing threw my mind. My father is no longer the one I will run to for emergencies, and soon enough my husband will hopefully have his own “daddy’s little girl”! The way life moves so fast without even noticing, is a reality check. Sometimes you just have to take a time out to appreciate how you got to the place your standing right at that moment. I take a second to look out the window to see If there’s a hint of rain. It had sprinkled already a little bit. I smile to myself thinking of how people say if it rains on your wedding day its lucky. I guess I had a little luck on my side. I’m wondering what my husband is doing, thinking. I ponder whether he is just as nervous or if it feels like a breeze to him. I decide that anyone about to take this leap cannot be calm. This is too big a life altering move. I start to hear my bridesmaids arrive and a chill has now filled my body. This wedding has become so much more real now. Hearing their chatter and screams fills my heart with reassurance that today will be great and there’s nothing to be nervous about. Today is the first day of the rest of my life!
