Standing in the bathroom, with only 18 minutes left till I would get to see him, my maid of honor stood behind me trying to calm my nevus and to finish doing up the back of my gown. The day had been way to long in my own opinion, and rather stressful. Leave it up to my mother to wait till my wedding day to drive me even more bonkers. I had done cried from being frustrated and angry. "Raye Breath, its almost over, and don't cry." I could hear Jenny's words but all I wanted was to hurry up and walk down that aisle so I could be near him. I was not Vivi for this moment granted if I was she probably wouldn't have been as quiet as I was. Moments ticked by slowly to me till it was finally time.Taking my uncles offered arm I smiled a little then immediately dropped my head, I had been calm on the out side until then. Once we started walking I of coarse could no longer hide the fact that I was nervous. Shacking, walking as fast as my uncle would allow me, I walked towards Justin. Looking up briefly to see him standing there, I finally allowed myself to breath, he was there waiting for me. And after six years, today was the day that I would be taking his hands and together we'd start a new life. One that no matter what I wont regret he after all holds my heart, and soul in his hands. As some of our friends and family greet us after the 'I do's ' I can't help but smile and think of those who love us and yet aren't there to be physically present at the moment, but as I turn to look up into Justin's eyes, I know that they are there and will always be present in our lives. The day is over, a day that many didn't think would actually ever happen....
So here I sit the day after in what is now our room I find myself smiling happily and almost secretively to myself as I remember yesterday, and all the other days. I can't help but be confident that no madder what life throws at us we will meet it head on and together. For he holds my heart forever, and I will love him....
