The dreams I’ve had all my life came true today.<\/p>\n
I married the man on whom I have waited.<\/p>\n
We went before a judge and stood together.<\/p>\n
We held hands, spoke our vows, and pledged forever.<\/p>\n
So nervous that day, I hardly remember.<\/p>\n
My sister and his friend witnessed us say yes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Every part of me leapt forward to say yes.<\/p>\n
The love we had then has lasted to this day.<\/p>\n
If times get hard, we only need remember<\/p>\n
How much we loved each other then and waited<\/p>\n
To become one flesh and be that forever.<\/p>\n
Nothing more we want than being together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When two people want to join together,<\/p>\n
My advice to you both, before you say yes…<\/p>\n
Be friends first until it feels like forever,<\/p>\n
At the same time, it feels like you met today.<\/p>\n
When you say yes, you’ll be glad that you waited<\/p>\n
And make that first night, a night to remember.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you are old and sit back to remember,<\/p>\n
In your rocking chairs, clasping hands together,<\/p>\n
Of the times you went, of the times you waited,<\/p>\n
Of the times you said no, and when you said yes,<\/p>\n
Of all that you’ve done that brought you to today,<\/p>\n
You know that you are on the way to forever.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Along the road to the goal of forever,<\/p>\n
There are some things you must always remember.<\/p>\n
Don’t sleep with your anger, make things right today.<\/p>\n
Don’t go alone when you can go together.<\/p>\n
Don’t give them a “no” when your partner needs “yes”.<\/p>\n
Don’t hurry them up when you could have waited.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rejoice in the decision when you waited.<\/p>\n
You know you had the rest of forever.<\/p>\n
All the times of your life, you can say yes.<\/p>\n
Always hold on to it, always remember<\/p>\n
You made the choice to walk through life together.<\/p>\n
Be it yesterday, tomorrow, or today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you wish you had not waited, remember,<\/p>\n
You can live all your forever together.<\/p>\n
You can always say yes to your love today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
