Today is the day that I am fortunate to be sisters with Chloe, who is marrying my first love, Daniel Hills. That is just what I have been telling myself, to be completely honest with you. This will be the most painful day I have ever been alive—besides the day Daniel broke my heart. About six months ago, Chloe offered me to be her maid of honor. As I'm regretting now, I said yes. Daniel was my first everything. I swore up and down to myself he was the one. During high school we had a serious, committed relationship always talking about growing old together, producing beautiful kids, and living together forever. But four years later, here he is promising those exact things to my sister. As my sister, her other bride's maids, and I were getting …show more content…
Quickly, I stand up and reply that I would be right out. It only took me fifteen seconds to gaze in the mirror and fix my make-up and I was right out. The whole time I was walking down the steps with my sister and her friends, I was zoned out and pep talking myself. The ceremony was about to begin. Halfway through the vows and the crying, I began to think. Why have I been holding this grudge for so long? Clearly no one cares and probably doesn’t even remember. I deserve to happy too. I needed closure and there, I just gave myself some. Easy. The ceremony came to an end and we all headed to the reception. However, since I am the maid of honor I must give a speech. I wrote one, but that's when I wasn’t at peace. It could be filled with hatred and anger. Slowly, I carefully took it out of my purse to throw it away, but suddenly my sister slipped by. "Is that your speech? Great! Read it." DING DING DING. She clanked her fork against her wine glass. "Cindy is going to read her speech!" "No wait Chloe. I decided this one wasn’t that good. I'm going to throw it away and just wing …show more content…
That is how I felt then and I'm about to tell you how I feel now." I ripped the worn notebook paper and let it hit the floor. "Today I decided to let the past go. Everything happens for a reason. You two were meant to be. However, what you both did to me was definitely not okay. And I never did get an apology. This is your wedding though, so live it up. With that I conclude my speech." Everyone's face had settled to a pity smile, but there was no tension. I strutted to the farthest corner where I didn’t have to hear anymore silly toasts. "Hello there." I looked up and saw one of Daniel's close friends. "Oh hi." He sat down next to me. He was very beautiful. Soft brown skin with river blue eyes that shot right through me. Was this a dream? "I'm Nick, you're Cindy right?" His perfect white teeth flashed at me and I felt a warm smile tattoo across my face and it never left that night. "Yes." He held out his hand and I took it. We both decided to leave, so I said goodbye and congratulations to my sister and Daniel. Daniel followed me and asked to speak to me. No butterflies and my heart didn't skip a single beat. A great sign! "Thanks for handling this well Cindy." I nodded and gave a
Finally, it’s June 3rd. Laura is going to be graduating from Silas University today with her whole family present. With Carmilla still in Toronto, Laura couldn’t wait to see her girlfriend after not being around her for a month. School kept Laura busy, while Carmilla had to deal with work. They’ve had skype dates and Carmilla even managed to help Laura with some homework over the webcam. Finally, she gets to see her girlfriend face to face and she couldn’t be happier. Carmilla apologized most of the time for being busy, Laura felt the same since she had to work extra hard just to make sure she could graduate with honors. She is and she couldn't be happier.
Jasmine had left 1 hour early in order to start getting ready and guess who she took with her, Miranda leaving me to get ready with Wendell. We head to the dressing room and as soon as we are inside on our own, the old Wendell returns. “I told you I would find someone better than Jasmine, although I shouldn’t be saying this but Miranda is great. She has been a Victoria Secret model since 2007, she has been voted the sexiest woman alive and she is everything anyone would want.” “That’s nice Wendell,” I respond, “but Jasmine is the only one who I wish to be with.” We then got ready in silence. About 10 minutes before I was meant to go outside, Arturo came and started to comfort me that everything would be okay. “You know I have forgiven you with what happened with the Vidromek case and you have forgiven me what happened with Jasmine at the Christmas party all those years ago.” I stared at the floor but didn’t say anything, my eyes not meeting his. “But now we are grown up and I would like to give you the opportunity to be your own person. I am very happy to say that you went to Oak Ridge and now we can just hope for the best.” “Yes, Marcelo has forgiven Arturo and he thinks that it is time for Arturo and Marcelo to be friends again.” I said with a smile on my face. It was now time to go outside and walk down the aisle where the most important decision of my life would be made. “Let’s go Arturo,” I then stated and we walked outside into the beautiful
Once her parents walked away, Jason approached his future bride and cleared his throat. "Hey....look, I know what happened with us through our childhood is in the past. We were kids then. I'm willing to put it behind me and try to get along for the sake of our parents. If you want to, great...if not, then can we at least get through this night and fake like we're on board for this? This is my way of extending an olive branch and letting bygones beat bygones. So what do you say?" Jason did have to admit, since he'd last seen her, she'd really blossomed and matured into a gorgeous woman and if she was willing to put their past behind them then this would be smooth sailing. But his gut was telling him that old feelings don't die so
In the amazing story of two love-struck individuals, Kim and Krickett tell their real-life accounts of exactly what happened in their relationship, or what was left of one, the day Kim lost account of their whole life together. At this young and beautiful couple’s wedding, genuine vows were exchanged, only the irony of Kim’s words were of which he wouldn’t even realize. Before he said “I do”, he spoke this meaningful passage, “And to always know in the deepest part of my soul that no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we
“Yes or no?” he murmured ever so softly. Andrew nodded and Neil let his hand fall, pressing his palm against Andrew’s cheek lightly.
hand in hand. I turned to see Jake gliding toward me, a look of boyish
I've heard that Savannah is living a happy life with Mark. They bought a house and are planning on starting a family. There have been times that I've wanted to call her, but I know our relationship would never be the same. She is a different person now and so am I. I've grown up. I've realized that relationships aren't always durable. I've learned that the people you love the most can hurt you the most. I’ve learned that sometimes you wake up and friendships are over. You are no longer a part of their life. You are now a part of their past. A fond memory. A distant thought. Whatever you call it, it is the past.
What if he said that very rarely is a dream uniquely yours. Dreams have the ability to walk throughout the minds of whomever they choose. They can saunter in and out of a few sleeping minds a night or none at all. One night they could be the main character of ...
Sivi, immediately came out to greet me, and we both felt a great sense of relief and pride. Once again we managed to overcome our fears and experience something that cannot be imagined or viewed like a movie, but must be felt.
The function of the musical numbers in this movie are to further illustrate the points of the movie. For example, the number about money points to the fact that the most important thing to many people in this time period is money. They do the things they do and act the way they act just to earn a buck or, in this case, a mark. The number where the performers on the stage turn into a form of burlesque soldier calls attention to the fact that the Nazi soldiers think very highly of themselves. They are becoming a more prominent entity who beat up people in back alleys as retribution. These all serve a specific purpose which is to call our attention to the ridiculous or important things going on in the world around us or around the actors and actresses.
Finally after what seemed like years, I walked out to greet my new father-in-law and my new wife. I shook his hands as he gave away his youngest daughter to start our own family, and then I reached out for the arm of my bride. Together we walked the rest of the way down the aisle and stood in front of the pastor’s
Hate, a passionate dislike for something or someone, has taken part of every war in the world, whether it is a political or civil one. Macklemore, the rapper of the song “Same Love”, uses powerful lyrics and imagery in many of his songs. It is in “Same Love” that he raps about a social issue that the world has been dealing with since, some could argue, the beginning of time. In the song “Same Love” he uses his rap to speak to everyone who can make a change in this world. “Same Love” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis bring awareness to the unjust issue of homophobia by giving people the information they need to obtain a voice and stand up for humans who have had their rights stolen.
Being better was Marry’s choice, she ventured off from her sister and made her own high school experience. Her sister’s actions have been just that, the actions her sister chose. She never asked anything about them. Her sister remained alone for most of her high school experience, until her junior year she made a friend she is still close with now. Marry made her own friends and found out who she was and not the person she was trying to be. She still loved her sister and would always know the good in her, but she didn’t look at her as much as she did. “My sister will always one on my biggest influences, but I’m happy I was able to see her in the outside world, so I can learn be who I am,” she finished the interview
Then he asked me if I had ever been kissed, this sent me into a near heart attack mode. I admitted that I hadn’t been kissed before. Then boy in front of me, the one who always held confidence, who knew so much of himself so well prior to those who do that are much older than we, blushed and apologized sincerely for not having been a better person to me and not having something to offer me this day. He looked back up at me with confidence and more love in his eyes that I had ever seen at the time. And then, Jordan softly placed his hand behind my neck, not intimately or anything like that, but in a more comforting way, moving my hair behind my shoulder and said, “If I can offer you anything special, a small gift in a small way,” and he kind of laughed at that, his voice softened again and he finished, “If you’ll let me, I’ll give you your first kiss.” The shock in my eyes must have been apparent, of course no one had ever said anything so romantic to me in my whole life (Again, I just turned fourteen), I nodded –a huge blush gracing my face as well as much as
...gret I make. I know that now and I wish I could go back in time and change what happened. I don’t fully know why she is so important to me and I can only speculate my opinion. I feel that making peace with her is just like making peace with myself. She was so pretty and amazing and one of the biggest crushes in my life. I would tell her that. This essay made me exorcise so of the demons I had inside that I never dealt with. This essay made me take a deeper reflection of myself and what is really important to me. This easy has also made me wish this wasn’t an essay that this was real and would happen in real life. I am a little more peaceful now and I guess I have found the lit bit of peace I have wanted. One of the last things I would say at the end of our conversation is Thank You. I don’t know why I would say that to her but all I know is that it would feel right.
