You Look Beautiful

I sit there, hands tightly clasped. I look at the pretty smiling faces standing around me, staring at me, giving my compliments. I smile and tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I stand up and walk over to the full length mirror and look down at at my clean white dress. I finger my veil and beading on the dress. My father knocks on the door, one of the ladies opens it. He walks over to me and hugs me, planting a kiss on my forehead. He smiles and makes a comment about me when I was little and the whole room is filled with laughter. My dad then extends his hand and smiles. I take a deep breath and take his hand. We walk down the hall hand in hand followed by my beautiful bridesmaids. As we reach the sanctuary my mom links her arm through mine. I turn and give her a hug and a kiss, a tear forming in her eye. As the bridesmaids start down the aisle my mom tells me she loves me an gives me one more kiss, and takes her seat. The music changes and my dad starts leading me down toward the alter. I look up and catch his eye, he smiles at me and I smile right back. We reach the alter and I get one more hug and kiss from my dad. I turn to my fiance and give him a hug. Before he lets go he whispers in my ear, "you look beautiful."
