Never before had her heart been ensnared by someone such a stranger, yet who, at the same time, gave her a feeling of comfort, as if she had known him her entire life. Upon meeting such a gentleman, the young woman spoke of him excitedly to her friends, her grey eyes lighting up and sparkling with animation every time she'd say his name. Upon starting to date him, her whole self seemed to soften, to grow, to gradually, gently, and beautifully mold into a better person. So it was no surprise that Kelly tearfully and without hesitation accepted his proposal for marriage. It was a beautiful wedding.
All weddings are.
Even if some of the guests do guzzle down a bit too much champagne. As Mr. and Ms. Colin and Kelly Benson left the chapel that afternoon and climbed into their fashionably classic limosine, Kelly's heart filled with joy, and her body ached with suspended jubilation when they looked at one another and somehow Kelly saw every question she ever asked about herself answered in his beautifully long-lashed eyes. The reception was quite a party. Everyone was there. It seemed to end much too soon for the young blushing bride, but as she was to find out, the real party had not yet begun.
