The Wedding..

Its my wedding day. I am wearing a perfect white gown. My hair is open with flowers over my right ears. Before i walk out of my room for the last time i see myself in the mirror. As i walk through the corridor i m remembering my childhood, i used run all over the house just to escape my mum and the oil she wanted to put on my hair. I used to play hide n seek with my dad and brother, i always used to hide under the bed. At night i used to hold my brother tightly as i was scared of "monsters" waiting for me under the bed. He used get so irritated when i used to wake him up from his soundless sleep just to give me a company till the door of the washrrom and wait for me till i m done . I m passing by the kitchen imagining my mom baking chocolate cookies for us and how we both used to steal the cookies straight from the oven. I run my hand over the couch where my dad used to sit with the newspaper in his hand and read the news for me and my brother.
Now i have reached the back lawn of my house. Its all covered with white draps and white flowers. My dad is waiting for me at the starting of the aisle. I hold my dads hand as i begin to walk through the aisle, i look at my family. My mom who has moist eyes, then my dad who is proudly makig our way towards my fiance. As we reached his side, there are gasps of joy and everyone spontaneously begin to clap. The Father begun the ceremony in the traditional way he read a passage from the bible.

"Love is always patient and kind.It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or concieted. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes."
My brother comes to me and kisses my forehead, he looks at my fiance and says "keep my sister happy and protect her the way i did....and if she cries because of you then just wait and watch". I realised now i have two families to take care of. I have a new family where i have to adjust according to their culture.

I have always looked forward to this day but.......i have tears leaving this family and a smile getting a new family...
