I suppose it's time to get up she
thought, stretching herself lazily. She pulled back the covers and
walked across the room to open the curtains.
Sunshine!
Bright, bright sunshine with not a cloud in the sky! A perfect day.
Yes, a perfect day to get married!
A chorus of groans sounded behind her
as the light hit the sleeping faces of her three bridesmaids.
'Come on girls, get up! Today is the
day!'
The girls looked at each other and
grinned. They flung back their covers and ran, smiling, out onto the
balcony, looking out at the perfect view of the lake and gardens from
their hotel room.
They dressed quickly and went
downstairs for their breakfast, nervous and excited about the day
ahead.
After breakfast, it was back to the
room, to start preparations. How busy it was. Hairdressers and a
photographer joined them, and soon the room was buzzing with
excitement.
Deliveries appeared: flowers and
balloons.
Make up was applied. Everyone looked
beautiful!
Soon it was time for 'The dress'. The
bride wriggled herself into it, and with a bridesmaid's help it was
on!
The time flew by, and soon it was time
for the ceremony itself.
Tall and proud, her father walked
beside her. The groom turned, his eyes glistening as he saw her.
Words of love and commitment where
spoken, nerves causing both bride and groom to stutter over their
lines.
Rings where exchanged and joy of joy,
they fitted perfectly.
Out into the sunshine, confetti flies,
photographs are taken.
Dinner: Oh such a beautiful meal. The
cake is cut. She feeds him a slice, everyone smiles.
Everyone is full and happy. They all go
outside, playing garden games in the sunshine.
Soon it is time for the evening
reception. Dancing, lights, fun and food.
All too soon it is over! Time for bed.
Tomorrow will be their first day as man and wife.
Congratulations to my beautiful
daughter and her handsome new husband.
