Wishing for a fairytale

I trembled with fear and possibly a smidgen of excitement. I peered around the door frame and gasped. The whole room was a mass of people. I only seemed to recognise half, the other I had no idea. The whole room was divided, his side and then my own. My family sat in the front row; my mother, father and grandparents. My brothers were absent, seeing as they both stood at the front of the room facing the crowd, both with matching smiles on their young faces.

A tune began to play. It echoed throughout the entire room. One by one, the people began to turn their faces towards the double doors at the end of the large hall. As the haunting tune continued to play the people waited in silence.

Outside the doors, I stood waiting. For what I had no idea. Did I still have the courage to actually do this?

I jumped as someone touched me lightly on the forearm. A close friend, Vincent.

“Cloud what are you doing? You’re supposed to be in there with him”

I looked down at my feet. They were encased in new cream dress shoes, bought especially for this day. Dressed in a cream day suit and primped and pampered until I felt as new as the day I was born. And all for this very moment.

“You love him”

I did.

I grabbed Vincent’s arm, who was also dressed up to the max for this day and linked mine through his. We both pushed the doors open and stepped through into the hall, into my new life.

As the haunting wedding tune played, I walked down the white carpeted aisle to the man I loved, standing at the end. He wore a look of amazement on his face, and his eyes never left mine. It seemed that time had stopped and all that existed were those stone grey eyes.

As we reached the end, Vincent released my arm and stood to the side with my brothers and the best man, another friend, Cid. The rest of the crowd took their seats and sat back to watch the remaining part of the ceremony. No doubt wishing it would hurry up and conclude so they could run off the complimentary cake and champagne.

It was at that moment that I looked up into the eyes of the man I loved, Leon’s eyes.

He reached down and took my hands and we both turned towards the celebrant. As he welcomed the invited guests and started the ceremony, all I could think of was the fact that I was starting a new chapter of my life with the man standing right beside me. I looked down at our intertwined hands and I felt like I was the happiest person in the world, as cliché as that sounds.

“I do.”

“Then you may now share a kiss to unite this union.”

Every time, I wake at that moment.
