“I
was told the average girl begins to plan her wedding at the age of
7. She
picks the colors and the cake first and by the age of 10 she knows
time, and location.
By 17 she’s already chosen a gown and 2 bridesmaids and
a maid of honor. By
23 she’s waiting for a man who wont break out in hives when
he hears the word
“commitment." Someone
who doesn’t smell like a Band-Aid drenched in
lonely. Someone
who isn’t a temporary solution to the empty side of the
bed.
Someone who’ll hold her hand like it’s the only one
they’ve ever seen.
To be honest I don’t know what kind of tux I’ll be
wearing and I have no clue what my wedding will look like but
I imagine the woman who pins my last to hers will butterfly down
the aisle like a 5 foot promise and I imagine her smile will
be so large that you’ll see it on google maps.
And know exactly where our wedding is being held.
The woman that I plan to marry will have champagne in her walk and
I will get drunk on her footsteps.
When the pastor asks if I take this woman to be my wife I will
say yes before he finishes the sentence and I’ll
apologize later for being impolite but I will also explain him that
our first kiss happened 6 years ago and I’ve been practicing
my “Yes” for the past 2,165
days. When
people ask me about my wedding I never really know what to say
but when they ask me about my future wife I always tell them
her eyes are the only Christmas lights that deserve to be seen all
year long. I
say she thinks too much and misses her father and loves to laugh
and she’s terrible at lying because her face never figured
out how to do it correctly. I
tell them if my alarm clock sounded like her voice my snooze button
would collect dust. I
tell them if she came in a bottle I would drink her until my
vision is blurry and my friends take away my
keys. If
she was a book I would memorize her table of contents
and I would read her cover-to-cover hoping to find typos
just
so we can both have a few things to work
on. Because
aren’t we all unfinished? Don’t we all need a
little editing? Aren’t we all waiting to be proofread by
someone? Aren’t we all praying they will tell us that we
make sense? She don’t always make sense but her
imperfections are the things I love about her the
most.
I don’t know when I will be married and I don’t
know where I will be married but I do know this:
Whenever I’m asked about my future wife I always
say
…She’s a lot like
you”
