It was a beautifully warm
Autumn Sunday a few days
Shy of the official day of the
Fall season.
I stared out the window at the
Altar where I would say the vows
That would change my life forever
Nervous,
Excited,
Prayed that nothing and no one
Would ruin this day.
With my bouquet in my hand
I walked down the leafy path toward my groom
Stood next to him in my white, strapless
Chiffon gown admiring him in his
Navy blue suit
We both vowed to take each other as
Husband and wife,
In sickness and health,
Better or worse,
Rich and poor,
As long as we both shall live
Spiritually we vowed forever
And exchanged rings
Sealed with a kiss
I held his hand as we were introduced as
Mr. and Mrs.
Our first meal as spouses was
A delicious West Indian feast
Before our first dance we fed each other
Red velvet cake
Then we slow danced to a song by one of
Our favorite R&B groups that helped us
Fall in love
As we left for our honeymoon
I smiled with joy in my heart
Remembering our day
