The Wedding.

I had just gone up for a wedding, and me and weddings don't really mix. I like them and all, good food, cute couples, and that slightly awkward dance with my mom. My problem was that it was just one more reminder that everyone around me was married or in a relationship and I was the ever present single. This wedding was no different. The ceremony was quite beautiful, the words "for time and all eternity" ringing in the air for several second as it always did. I walked down the step to retrieve my shoes that were stowed in a neat little compartment, my head bent low. Slipping on my shoes I stood up and headed to stand by my father who was talking to my uncle in hushed tones. I took one look back over my shoulder down the hall I had just left when my eyes caught someone I recognized. I blinked to try to clear my vision. She was still there and she was looking at me. Oddly I cocked my head to the side and with a strange grin on my face. I waved, the grin still stuck on my face. She smiled and waved back, but then I lost her in the sea of body that were pulsating toward the door, compelling me to follow. I complied and found my self on the outside of the majestic building, greeting the various relatives and smiling cousins that had all come to witness the happy occasion. Anxious voices filled the air as we waited but I just sat quietly, watching the door for her to emerge, yes kinda like a stalker, but I really didn't care. You know how in movies there is this spark when two people see each other for the first time, well it was like that. But it wasn't the first time I had seen her. But it was the first time like this. I looked down at my shoes, they were worn from the many miles walked in them. Looking up I saw her head disappear into the crowd. Rising suddenly I pushed and made my way through the crowd...just to see her disappear down the staircase. I watched as she got in her car and left. But I did not despair, I would see her next Monday.
