When I get married for the last time...

 When I get married for the second time, I want to wake up to sunlight streaming through the slats of my window in our bedroom.

I will turn over and hold you and stroke your hair. 

We will hit snooze and stay motionless until the very last minute, soaking up each other.


When I get married for the second time, I'll do my own hair and make up the way I want to.

I will have time to eat breakfast and actually stomach it.

I will enjoy my coffee just the way you make it, and I'll grab your hand and kiss it even though kissing before the ceremony is frowned upon.


When I get married for the second time, I'll walk down the aisle hand in hand with you.

I will invite no one but the necessary few we care about.

I will wear whatever I want that's comfortable and easy to breath in, because I know I'll be belly laughing the entire day.


When I get married for the last time, I'll smile so wide and so true that my cheeks will hurt for weeks.

I won't accept any gifts, because nothing can compare.

I will look into your eyes and know deep in my heart that this is for once, the only right decision I will ever be this sure of.
