I took the steps and made the walk. And now I was here, standing in front of Mr. Espresso; looking into his eyes and he looking into mine. Smiling, blushing, laughing. We were here… finally.

Press Play for some background music:

Pastor Daryl began with a short prayer. We closed our eyes as he blessed our union, our marriage, our love.

Our ceremony was short. There were no readings or songs from friends. No rose, sand, or candle ceremony. Just us…

… exchanging our vows and overflowing with joy. It went like this:

“I take you as my friend and love,

beside me and apart from me,

in laughter and in tears,

in conflict and tranquility,

asking that you be no other than yourself,

loving what I know of you

trusting what I do not know yet

in all the ways that life may find us.”

We exchange our rings…

And then that was it. After a long relationship, a short engagement, a long drive, and a short walk, we were here… ready to begin a long and happy marriage together.

There was never a better emotion than this,

knowing that my favorite person in the world,

my best friend…

had become my husband.

Our families cheered us on (my dad, of course, without his socks )

We were finally husband and wife.
