Wedding Day

The Cobra II was decorated and parked in front of the church. A trail of cans attached to the bumper was guaranteed to make a lot of noise. "Just Married" spray painted in white foam across the side windows. It stayed alone waiting for its guests.

Inside the church, anticipation fills the air. I stood at the front in my blue tuxedo. My chest filled with fluttering butterflies ready to fly. My eyes glued on the entrance of the church. With an usher on each side, the white carpet flowed down the aisle. Arm in arm with an escort, the family members took their seat. The wedding party in cadence with the love music proceeds to the front in a slow and easy manner. Perfume and after shave linger in the air. Two by two the groomsmen position themselves next to me. The Bridesmaid and Best Man stand their positions. Thee flower girl and ring bearer walk down the aisle. The flower girl spills her flowers as the ring bearer holds the small pillow. The music begins - “Here Comes the Bride.” Heads turn toward the back as each person stands. The bride and her dad appear in the entry. Beautiful and dressed in white, she is escorted to the anticipated ceremony.
