I focused on breathing. Breathe in, clutch the bouquet of roses in trembling fingers; breathe out, one slow step forward. Wide double doors were pulled open from within the chapel, revealing a dozen dark wood pews, filled on both sides of the aisle. Each pew is garlanded at the aisle-end with a bow of white silk and a single pink rose. The aisle itself was covered in pale pink rose petals, strewn by a flower girl, a niece of Jamie's.
My heart was beating so hard I thought the entire chapel could hear it pounding like a drum. When the doors opened, an older woman with silver hair began Mendelssohn’s "Wedding March" on a grand piano and everyone stood. I was shaking so bad the roses trembled in my hands. My knees were weak, my throat thick and burning.
Then I looked up and saw him. He was resplendent in a traditional tuxedo, his eyes wavering with emotion as he watched me. As if sensing my nerves, he smiled at me and mouthed I love you. My nerves receded, and I could move again. I'd been rooted to the spot at the doors, Jamie behind me holding my train. Now, with his eyes on me, loving me, I was able to take the first step forward.
The aisle was't all that long, but the measured walk from the doors to him seemed to take an eternity. With each step, I realized more fully how ready I was for this. I didn't think I would be, even when I agreed to marry him. I worried, all the way up until the moment I saw him at the altar, that I wouldn't be ready. But I was.
I'm ready. I want to do this.
With every step closer to the man I love, I realized that this was exactly what I wanted, and you couldn't have dragged me away from the altar with a thousand wild horses.
At long last, I reached him. A step up, a second, and then his hands were in mine, holding me, steadying me. His eyes burned into mine, the love in his gaze bringing tears of happiness to my eyes.
"Dearly beloved," the minister began, "we are gathered here today to celebrate the blessed union of this man and this woman..."
It really sank in, then, as the minister began his brief sermon:
I'm getting married.
