The Wedding Moment


I attend my 157th wedding today! Okay maybe not exactly that number but it feels like I have attend so many and actually since I use to work at a wedding a hall, I have probably attended more then 157 receptions. Well, the point of my sad awaking is that I am still not married. Yes, if you hadn't noticed I do not have a wedding ring or a fiance of my own. So attending so many weddings has finally gotten to me. I am not sure that I am as bitter as I sound but I do know there is that little part of me, the girlie girl side, where I am playing wedding and house by myself in some pretty dress from sister closet. It’s the moment where I have my first crush and began to think of how many kids I want and what they are going to look like. The moment my sister got married and I knew I wanted exactly the same thing she had, sparkling lights, fall weather and the first dance with a gushing, happy, romantic song that makes you cry. Well all of those moments have brought me here, right now to this moment.

I attended Armando's cousin wedding; it was beautiful, with pastel green, calla Lilies, a villa stone edge hall, decorated in diamonds and pure white. We were surround my family and friends, the pressure was on as usual, we were only asked maybe six times when we would get married, not as bad. Overall, I was upholding myself very well, until it got to the daddy daughter dance, I could feel the urge of tears pressing to fill my eyes. It was the
sweeties song, "I loved her first", by Heartland, all I could imagine is what song would my father choose for our dance? At my sister’s weddings he picked, "Lady in Red" and "The Way You Look Tonight", I know he saved the best for the last. Alright, I got through the song with tear still intact but it was the moment, the one that always gets me, the first dance. The moment where you truly see how much the couple loves each other. They way they stare at each other, eyes latched together, smiling with happiness sounding them, it's the moments, where finally you’re in the arms of your loved one and you have all your family and friends around you, what else could you ask for. They danced to "Lucky" by Jason Marz and Colbie Caillat, “Lucky I am in love with my best friend” it’s when the tears finally began to slide down my smiling face.

Enjoying life~ waiting for my moment
