The Cobra II was decorated and parked in front of the
church. A trail of cans attached to the bumper was guaranteed to make a lot of
noise. "Just Married" spray painted in white foam across the side
windows. It stayed alone waiting for its guests.
Inside the church, anticipation fills the air. I stood at
the front in my blue tuxedo. My chest filled with fluttering butterflies ready
to fly. My eyes glued on the entrance of the church. With an usher on each
side, the white carpet flowed down the aisle. Arm in arm with an escort, the
family members took their seat. The wedding party in cadence with the love music
proceeds to the front in a slow and easy manner. Perfume and after shave linger
in the air. Two by two the groomsmen position themselves next to me. The
Bridesmaid and Best Man stand their positions. The flower girl and ring bearer
walk down the aisle. The flower girl spills her flowers as the ring bearer
holds the small pillow. The music begins - “Here Comes the Bride.” Heads turn toward
the back as each person stands. The bride and her mom and dad appear in the entry. Beautiful
and dressed in white, she is escorted to the anticipated beginning.
