The doors open, revealing wide eyes as my friends and family gasp at the sight of me. Nervous to take my first step, I search for the eyes of the person whose opinion matters the most. Our eyes connect and I see a soft smile grow across his face. Warmth spreads throughout my chest and my feet begin to transport me across the room. It is as if there is a rope between us, slowly pulling me closer and closer.

I am standing directly in front of him now. Is that a tear in his eye? I take his hand and sparks of electricity shoots through the air around us. We hold each others attention, no one else matters. Tears are now falling down my face too and his large thumb slides across my cheek to dry them. At this moment, nothing else matters. The world could end today and I would be happy.

He smiles at me as he takes my other hand and looks deep into my soul.

“I can’t wait to spend forever with you,” he says.

My hear jumps out of my chest and melts in his hands. Forever is a long time and I wish it was longer.
