Wendy, the assistant, walks me over to a side door. Earlier she explained that this part of the spa was used exactly for this purpose. Several rooms for brides to get ready and the door leads out to the location of the wedding. The photographer left a few minutes ago. Whenever I tell her to Wendy will start the music and the ceremoney will begin. I take a deep breath and nod my head.
She opens the door and I step through it. I'm standing on a short sidewalk that is lined with candles and covered in rose petals. Directly in front of me is a gazebo over-looking the beach. Josh is standing there with the most incredible look on his face. I want to run to him but somehow I manage to pace myself. As I slowly walk down the path, I hear bits of the song that is playing. It's not one I've ever heard before- but the lyrics are perfect.
We are gonna build a life together
You and I for ever and ever
And we'll, we'll make babies on the beach
Under the stardust
And I'll hear your voice come through the door
A thousand times, maybe more
And I'll smile inside to know you're mine
Completely
(The Wedding Song- Angus & Julia Stone)
When I reach the gazebo, I take Josh's hands in mine. I barely register how handsome he looks in his suit because the look on his face is taking my breath away. No one has ever looked at me this way before.
