» SHORT STORY «

The sounds of the wedding march filled the room as the flower girl escorted by the ring bearer, walked down the candled aisle.

Brian walked first with my best friend, Angel, then Howie, AJ, and Nick followed with my beautiful dressed bridesmaids. The guys dressed in black suits and my friends in lavender silk. I peeked to see Kevin waiting for me at the other end of the circular room, but my view was obstructed. Disappointed, I looked to the crowd that was seated on the outsides of the circular room. All eyes gazed upon the men and the women that walked the aisle as of that moment.

The area infront of the audience was the candles. Thousands of glowing candles were placed all around the room. All were votives exquisitely burned to the smell of  different extracts. It left me in awe of the wonderful job that my mother and Anne (Kevins mother) did. The aisle was the only walkable place to walk and it was covered with petals of white roses.  The other end of the room the minister stood in a small cleared, circled area, surrounded by the candles.

My eyes left the wedding scence and I turned my attention to my father. He kept on massaging his hands, his sign of nervousness.

"Dad, only a couple of more minutes," I smiled hoping he would stop fidgeting.

He looked down at me from his towering frame and said, "Oh May, I cant believe your going to get married today, my baby girl."

"Oh, dad, stop or youll make me cry." I gave him a quick hug of comfort and breathed in.

I told myself to relax, but the excitment in me, grew. I was not nervous for I was marrying Kevin, finally. I've wanted this for so long. After being with him for 6 years, I was going to say "I do." I guess my smile never left my face since my father noticed.

"Thinking about me?" My father laughed as I did too.

"Daaaaaaad."

He kept on laughing and then the silence hit the air. It was my cue. My dad held his arm out and I placed my arm around his. With my other hand I pulled the train of my dress and we walked to the entrance. I looked up and noticed Kevin was not there, but Brian, Howie, AJ, and Nick. They stood side by side where the minister stood and gave me
smiles. I gave them a questioning look, but then they started to sing.

"You are his sun, you are his light, youre the last thing on his mind before he goes to sleep at night, you are always around when he is in need, when troubles are on his mind, you put his soul at ease, there is no one in this world who can love him, like you do, so many reason that he wants to spend forever with you..."

As they sang that first note, Kevin slowly walked from another entrance. My eyes lit up to see him and he quickly looked to me, when he was in place. I could not smile harder enough to say how I was so excited at that moment. He smiled too and I could tell he was biting his lip, trying not to cry. I forced myself not to cry, as I looked at Kevin, but the joy was unbearable as a tear rolled down my cheek.

I took in a deep breath, taking my eye off Kevin and my dad and I made our way to the man I was going to marry. I scanned my eyes at the crowd, smiling for the pictures, but my mind was somewhere else. Memories of Kevins proposal flooded my mind.

The night was clear and definetly cold. Kevin begged me to go to the pier on that December night, saying he wanted to show me something. We walked to the pier, glove in glove, and we stopped at the end. He stood behind me, embracing me in his arms, keeping me warm. We did that for awhile staring in the sky full of stars and the calm waters around us, but he let go and stood infront of me.

"May, I..." Kevin took my hands and looked down at me. His body stood close and towered me. I smelt his cologne as he fumbled for the words to say and I then noticed his tear.

"Kevin, why are you crying? What do you need to show me?" I whispered to him. I shuddered in the cold and I took my hand out of his and wiped his tear away. He took my hand again.

"May, I love you." He squeezed my hand and bent his head down to kiss my shivering lips. We parted and I smiled.

"Oh, Kevin I love you too, but its freezing. I think my ass is getting numb."

Kevin laughed and huged me. He rubbed my back and I felt warm for awhile, untill he stepped away. I looked at him as he decended and bended his knee on the pier. My mouth opened and a tear strated to form in my eye. He took  my left hand and holded onto it.

"Oh May, ever since the day I met you I knew you were somethin special. I could not stop thinking about you after our first date, the second, the thrid, but I knew it always, that I loved you. Your love makes me happy, makes me become a better person, makes me want to be with you, forever. You supporting me through all these years, with the group, the fans, Im so thankful for that. Always waiting for me when I come home from tour, just being the amazing person you are, makes me love you even more. You give me so much more than anyone can offer me and you put so much meaning into my life...You are my one, and only, May."

I was in a daze as he made his speech. I lost my eyes into his green eyes, his smile, his beautiful chiseld face, untill he said, "May, will you marry me?" His deep voice asked me. Emotion took over my body and I kneeled down to hug him. I cired endlessly and I manged to whisper in his ear, "Yes Kevin I will."

Kevin then pulled back and took my left glove off. He slipped on a diamond ring as my hand tremebled in happiness and the cold weather. We kissed once more and wiped each others tears as I could not stop thinking about how I loved him more at that moment than any other.

"Its so much more than he could have dream, bit you loving him, is so easy for him, There is no one in this world who can love him, like you do, that is the reason he wants to share forever with you."

The boys stopped the song as I reached Kevin. I stopped before him and gave my dad a hug and a kiss. My father took Kevins hand and placed it in mines. My smile never left my face as I stepped towards Kevin. His endearing smile made my heat melt. He mouthed the words "I love You" and another tear left both our eyes.

We walked before the minister, whom smiled at us. He nodded and I turned around to give my boquet to Angel. She had a huge smile plastered on her face and I turned back around to Kevin. Kevin had gave way to the tears and I laughed slightly as I wiped them away with my thumb. He whispered, "you are so beautiful," and after all the hard work tears left my eyes. He laughed faintly and wiped my tears away.

Once again, we faced the minister, hand in hand.
