 It was a
beautiful day that October. The weather was perfect, no clouds in the sky, 70
degrees and sunny. One week earlier it was so cold and one week later we lost the
colors on the leaves. So to have picked a day months ahead, we could not have asked for a
better day. We had chose to get married outdoors and we decided that Central Park,
Ashland, Ky would be the perfect location. Now that the day was upon us, everything was
total chaos. I was at the hair salon far longer than I thought I should be. The wedding
was at 2:30pm and I arrived home from the hair salon at 1:00pm. So I rushed to get dressed
and have my makeup put on, this took me until 2:00pm. So out the door we rushed and to the
park we headed. I arrived at 2:10pm and went over the schedule one more time with William
E. Cox, Pastor of Life Community Church. I was starting to get nervous by this time
because my parents had not arrived yet and the ceremony was about to start. I was trying
to stay behind the pavillion to keep my husband from seeing me, but at the same time
wondering if everyone had arrived. Then the music started and panic set in. But only
moments later my father comes around the building and takes my arm. It was time, and as I
was walking around the pavillion my thoughts were upon my future husband and what he would
think to see me all dressed up. The answer was upon his face as our eyes met. The smile
and tears that I saw said it all. The ceremony was beautiful and everything went just
fine. But the memory that I will hold closest to my heart, will be, seeing this husband of
mine with tears streaming down his face, sing to me the song " Keeper of the Stars
". It will be a memory that I will hold forever. We will soon be celebrating our one
year anniversity and the only thing I totally dread is having to eat our one year old cake
that has been hiding in the freezer all this time.
