DEDICATED TO YOU

She woke up with a jolt. Though she wasn’t too sure what woke her up, but she had had the feeling before. It was a sweet and joyous sensation that has been bubbling within her for weeks. As her eyes got used to the light, she saw well around her and the first thing that caught her attention was the beautifully designed white dress that spread lavishly across the bed. She smiled as it all came back to her; she wondered what he’s doing at the same time…

He checked his watch, it was just quarter past five, he tossed to the other side of the bed. He’d been trying to sleep since he woke up but he couldn’t because his mind is full of activities. Mentally, he had gone over the day’s program several times with a mixed reaction of excitement and anxiety. He smiled as he recalls what has happened in the past few days. He got up his bed and toed his way into the bathroom, crossing his friends scattered all over the floor of the room. Last night was a great night he still couldn’t believe his friends can be that much fun…


“Hurry up or we’ll be late”! Someone called out downstairs. Surprisingly, she was calm as she told the hairdresser adjusting her hair to take her time. The lady was having difficulties fixing the last hairpin. “Today is my day, everything will have to wait for me” she assured the lady. She had so much faith in her GOD; she trusted so much nothing would go wrong. She could not wait to see him again it was just some hours ago since she saw him. She muttered to herself “I can’t wait to see you darling...”

His friends watched him in surprise as he got behind the wheels, he asked them to get inside or they’ll be late. He started the engine and was about moving. It was then his friends realized he was really bent on driving the car. One after the other, they climbed into the posh car and he drove off….

She looked out the car window into the clear and beautiful sky. The same feeling she had in the morning was now growing bigger within her. She wished the driver would drive faster. She saw a little girl waved at her from the street, she waved back, it reminded her of when she was also a little girl, she and her friends had always dreamt of this day. Before she realized it, tears welled up her eyes and rolled down her smooth cheeks. The dear old man sitting by her side asked “is everything alright?” Embarrassed, she nodded, as she quickly reached for her handkerchief….

His heart missed a beat when he saw the beautifully dressed lady escorted towards him. He had seen this several times before - in movies, but for real it’s happening to him…

She watched the handsome young man through her veil as she moved towards him. She knows what he’s thinking; they’ve both talked about it days before. “I will never regret marrying you my love” she said in heart this time she could not hold back the tears…

He reached out for her hands as she put hers into his, he whispered to her ears, “let’s do it” to which she nodded. Together they stepped before their Creator; the one who called them to be joined as ONE...
