THE WEDDING

As I opened my eyes with the sun streaming in through the window, I smiled to myself and thought “The day has finally arrived”. I couldn’t believe the sun had finally decided to make an appearance as it had rained every morning since I had arrived in Mexico.
“It’s time to get up Nicole,” I called out. Nicole was to be a bridesmaid at my Dad and Christine’s wedding along with me although my role was to be the best woman as well as a bridesmaid.
I opened the curtains and the sunlight came streaming into our room. It was going to be a beautiful day.

I made my way to meet Christine as we had to be at the hairdressers and we arrived at our hair appointments, photos in hand ready to be transformed. Although the hairdressers didn’t speak the best English they understood exactly what we wanted and we came out looking fabulous. The silver stones in the tiaras shimmered like the sun’s reflection on the sea.

The time was passing so quickly and we still needed to get our dresses on and make our way to the Gazebo. As I zipped up my dress I remembered the cold winter’s day we went shopping back in the UK to search for the perfect bridesmaid’s dresses. It seemed a million miles away from this beautiful sundrenched Mexican setting.

I made my way to Christine’s room and was totally speechless as to how amazing she looked in her wedding dress. I had to hold back the tears as I didn’t want my eye make up to run and couldn’t walk down the aisle with panda eyes. “You look beautiful I’m so happy you are marrying my dad,” I said and was promptly greeted with a glass of frosty cold bubbling champagne.

I sipped my champagne as all of us girls chatted and giggled while we made the finishing touches to the bride’s outfit. I had to leave the room and make my way to the hotel reception to meet with my dad as I was accompanying him to the Gazebo. I felt so glamorous in my bronze coloured, diamante encrusted dress, complete with my silver tiara and diamante

    She is pretty, but moderately pretty, not overdone or arrogant. The husband, however, has a "round, self-satisfied face." He is haughty and overconfident. The reader recognizes his self-centeredness and demeans him for it. The reader is told that the woman provides a "small but glossy birthday cake" for her husband's "Occasion." There is "one pink candle" in the center of the cake. The cake's appearance parallels with that of the wife's. Both are small and modest yet in their own way appealing. The wife has supplied a "little surprise" for the one she loves and she is very proud of it. The others dining at the restaurant react with a "pattering of applause" to support the woman and encourage her. The reader echoes this applause in his own mind in order to also help the woman. However, the reader at once discovers that the man "was not pleased." Brush then quotes the thoughts of the reader towards the husband's behavior with the reaction of "Oh, now, don't be like that." The author uses the words that she knows are in the mind of the reader. The woman is then seen to be crying "all to herself." Her husband has deserted her and she is left alone "under the gay big brim of her best…

    I arrived to a church crowded with friends and family. So many people had gone to St. John’s Cathedral to witness the simple, yet elegant, tradition. There were also relatives from Mexico and Puerto Rico who took the long tiring trip to attend. I was honored to see so many people there on my special day. My court of honor led the way into the church. When it was my turn to walk down the aisle, soft music was played by the organist. I felt like a princess walking in my big, beautiful ball gown.

    March 29, 2010 was the date of my big celebration. Before my party, months and months of planning took place before everything was done. Finding the perfect dress, the reception, decorations and much more was not an easy task. Three months till my Quinceanera and I still had not found my dress in which I would feel like a princess in. We came across a small boutique, and luckily, the very first dress the manger suggested I fell in love with. As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the perfect dress, and looking for a dress was now off my list. A beautiful white strapless ball gown with sparkly coral accents was sure to impress my guests. Looking for the right reception was a much easier decision as I chose to have it at The Marriot Hotel by the beach in Ventura, CA.…

Washing myself with the soapy, scratchy loofa, a familiar smell, of Plumeria flowers after a nice Hawaiian rain, fills the room, allowing peace to fully engulf me. I dress in a brown and black paisley shirt with long see through sleeves and a sweetheart neck line, , that flattered my bosom perfectly, along with a silky, stretchy, pair of boot cut black pants and some modest 3 inch…

    The day started in a small where a small prayer was held before we headed out to the reception. My cousin sat at the front in her big blue, poofy dress while the guests all sat in the pews behind her waiting for the sermon to begin. The priest went through the prayer pretty quickly and my family and I rushed to the reception hall to make sure everything was ready by the time the guests arrived. My cousin was to arrive at a later time with her court of chambelanes. When I entered the reception hall, I was astonished by how beautiful everything looked. It resembled a disco ball with mirrors all around, even on the ceiling; the tables were covered in all white table cloths with a small blue centerpiece to match the quinceañera's dress; there were probably more balloons than there was people and the chandelier in the center of the dance floor brought the whole place together with its luxurious dripping crystals. When it was time for my cousin to arrive, a long, white Hummer stretch limo dropped her and her chambelanes off. As she entered, she greeted the few guests that had already arrived. With the light shining on her, she looked like Cinderella in her light blue dress which shined from all the glitter and diamonds it was covered…
