Matrimony
By Pikachu Hunter

He looks so serious,
And his hands are cold.
Is he nervous?
I am.
Why doesn't he smile back?
Here's my line.
"I do."

She does?
This is shocking.
Should I smile?
I can't...
I think I'm going to be sick.
I don't know if I can say it.
The minister's asking me.

Do I take her?
She's looking at me.
Her eyes...she's afraid.
Does she think I'll say no?
Will I?
Of course I won't say no.
I love her.

Why isn't he saying anything?
Is he going to walk away?
The minister seems patient enough.
I don't think he'll say yes.
He's too proud.
He doesn't care.
Wait...

"I...I do."
I say.
She sighs, and her eyes are bright.
I manage to crack a smile.
My hands don't feel
Very cold anymore.
I made the right choice.

He said it?
Wow.
He looks happy now.
The priest closed his book.
I missed something...
There's supposed to be a last step!
I can't remember it now.

She's really tense...
I have to do this,
To complete the ceremony,
But...
Yes.
We embrace.
Love?

"I am yours now."
"Mine?"
"Yes."
"I don't understand."
"You don't have to. This is love."
"L-l.."
"Mm-hm. I love you."

Author's Note: I know...you don't get it. 'What's the point?' is the first question that pops
into your head. Well...throw away the box! You've got to think outside of it. Does everything
have to have a direct point? Think of the deeper meanings in it. Y'know.
What's my score out of ten on this one? :)
