"We're walking down the aisle together," she states with a tone that makes it final.
We get into place behind the two wooden doors, and I look over at her as she carries her bouquet in one hand. It's filled with burgundy flowers and peach roses, green leaves sticking out of it everywhere. She slips her arm around my elbow and smiles up at me. "You know that the minute I put this dress on, I knew it was the one." Tears form in her eyes. "I saw myself today dancing with you in this dress from the minute I put it on." I look over at her, and the love that I felt for her before was nothing like what I feel for her right at this moment.
"I love you." That's the only thing I can say. "It's like this pressure on my chest from feeling so much." I lean down and kiss her soft lips. "Now, can we get this over with and make you mine?"
The doors open, and the song starts to play. "Never let me go," she says from beside me, and all I can do is laugh at her.
"I'll hold you forever." I kiss her one more time before taking a step. "You are forever mine to hold."
