AN: THIS IS IT, this is the wedding, the new and improved wedding.
____________________________________________________________________
Since the wedding date had to change, I was the only bridesmaid. As I began to walk down the aisle, I could see from my peripheral vision the majority of the boys and men there staring at me. I could care less, as I looked up at Sam I could feel a tear fall down my cheek, there he was in a perfectly simple tux, My Sam. I was supposed to be marring him today not her. I got to my spot quickly, not daring to look straight in to his eyes again. He had chosen Jake as his best man, I had to say he cleaned up well.
It was a very short ceremony, that is until the kiss that lasted so long I finally said, "Oh come on a minister is on the premises, get a room!" Getting many laughs from the crowd, even Sam let out a chuckle, when he finally broke the kiss he winked at me, causing another single tear to fall down my face. The reception was at a small hotel that overlooked the beach, I sat at my seat with the rest of the small wedding party, dreading my upcoming speech. Jake made his first it was the usual blabber about how great they are together, when he was done I shot back the rest of my 2nd champagne the I stood up and began.
"Hi, um for the few of you who don't know me I'm Leah, Emily's cousin and Sam's friend," I continued "I have known these two since I was born, Emily and I have been more like sisters over the years, when I found out these two were going to get married, I was needless to say shocked. And when Emily asked me to be a bridesmaid I was even more shocked, and reluctant at first. But as the time went on I began to remember when we were little and we would pretend that we where getting married, and it was a great thing for us to get even closer." I could hear awes "What I am trying to say is although reluctant at first, I am truly glad I got to help Emily my sister who I love, congratulations to the happy couple, the two most important people in my life happy that's all I want." I said the last part earnestly "OH and how does everyone like the flowers, that was one thing I did pick out!" I took a sip of my champagne, I savored the taste.
I could hear Sam speaking. "Here's to my beautiful wife Emily, the women who never stopped loving me." It was hard for me to hear that even though I knew he would never me mine. "I love you both." I whispered sincerely, Emily looked over and hugged me tightly, Sam looked at me and scanned me up and down.
The wedding continued on as planned but, before long we started to have karaoke, the entire tribe except for me sang "I'm too sexy," while Sam took off Emily's garter, the other thing I picked out for her. Emily had asked me to sing for her and Sam's first dance, the song: Our Song- Taylor Swift. I loved the song, but it seemed to cutesy to be a first dance song but I agreed.
I walked up to the microphone, "Would Sam and Emily please come to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife." I said as kindly as I could. One the got there I heard the music and began to sing:
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his carHe's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheelThe other on my heartI look around, turn the radio downHe says baby is something wrong?I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a songAnd he says...
Our song is the slamming screen doors,Sneakin' out late, tapping on your windowWhen we're on the phone and you talk real slow'cause it's late and your mama don't knowOur song is the way you laughThe first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"And when I got home ... before I said amenAsking God if he could play it again
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that dayHad gone all wrong and been trampled onAnd lost and thrown awayGot to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bedI almost didn't notice all the rosesAnd the note that said...
Our song is the slamming screen doors,Sneakin' out late, tapping on your windowWhen we're on the phone and you talk real slow'cause it's late and your mama don't knowOur song is the way you laughThe first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"And when I got home ... before I said amenAsking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album, listened to the radioWaited for something to come alongThat was as good as our song...Cause
Our song is the slamming screen doors,Sneakin' out late, tapping on his windowWhen where on the phone and he talks real slow'cause it's late and his mama don't knowOur song is the way he laughsThe first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"And when I got home ... before I said amenAsking God if he could play it again
I was riding shotgun with my hair undoneIn the front seat of his carI grabbed a pen and an old napkinAnd I wrote down our song
As I finished singing the song, I roar of applause erupted I looked up to see Sam and Emily making out. Great! As I went to step off of the little platform Jake hoped up and whispered in my ear "lets do a duet." He said chuckling slightly, then I heard the beginnings of a solo song "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock. I knew this was going to be a long night of music I didn't like.
After about three more songs it was time for the cake, they stuffed it in each others faces laughing and then, Sam proceeded to kiss it off of her, what was with these two! When they broke the kiss, Sam left his forehead on Emily's and looked in to her eyes, exactly like he used to when we were together. It became to much and I had to run out of there as fast as I could without being noticed. I ran into the ladies room, and fell on the floor, there I was laying on the floor crying, something I do not do. I was there crying like the annoying blonde from Grey's Anatomy, at least she had a good reason, the love of her life had died. In a way Sam had just died, it was an odd feeling, I began to laugh. Why did I care so damn much, they'll be happy I told myself over and over again.
