As we all arrived at the house I was very strictly told to wait in the living room
and not move. So I did just spending a few more minutes with my dad and MJ
(Mike Junior) I could not see the yard so hoped it looked okay and she liked it.
Despite it being more than I knew she would have had if she had done it I hoped
I had made it small enough still that she felt comfortable.

I heard the first track play and tried to imagine her as she walked down the
aisle, I hoped she was smiling, god I love her smile. And I hoped she was happy
as happy as I was

The next thing I know dad is in front of me offering me his hand as I note the
music has changed. The two men in my life take an arm each as we step out into
the garden. It looks amazing and I spend half my walk taking it all in before I
face her and at that moment in that time I knew that we had finally made it,
scarred and changed and from time to time still broken but back here to each
other where we were meant to be.

She looks stunning and is indeed smiling a big beautiful smile as she watches me
walk to her in that moment I break eye contact only to find my daughters gaze
and wink at her so she can try and wink back. The two women in my life both
look happier than I can remember and it brings me a peace I thought I had lost
a long time ago.

In what seems like both a second and hours at the same time I arrive at her side
and hug and kiss my escorts as they take their positions and I turn to face my
bride as our guests take their seats.

I had been making eyes at Carmen who was looking drop dead gorgeous in her blue
dress the light blue setting off her deep toned skin. But then they were there
all tall and beautiful and hopelessly in love. It was impossible not to watch
them as they watched each other it was also a look that was hard to decipher as
their eyes met for the first time but at the root of it all they were both
blissfully and unbreakably happy.
