“Come on! Is everyone ready?” Salima heard outside of her dressing room. She chuckled. Mariam was of course the best maid of honor. She looked in the mirror and sighed. She was getting nervous. She didn’t want to go out there and find that Johnny wasn’t there or that he hated the dress she had gotten.
“Sal! Can I come in?” She jumped hearing Mariam call to her.
“Yeah sure!”
Mariam came in with her hair down and beautiful green ear rings that made her eyes pop.

As their bodies moved in sync with all of the different beats and melodies, the smiles on their faces and the laugher of their friends and families there at that moment were something that would forever be remembered by the two of them. It was a moment where tortured and horrifying past wasn’t remembered. It was where past mistakes weren’t thought of and future ones were gladly accepted because the two were together. The two were able to face anything together.
