the wedding

He was wrong.

Watching her walk down the aisle towards him in her chosen wedding dress took his breath away. Max's felt everything slow down as he gazed upon the beauty walking towards him. From the silver heels that were mostly hidden by the length of the dress to the simple studded earrings she wore, he stood enchanted by her beauty. His nostrils flared as he tried to contain his emotions as his eyes stung. He felt his chest contract. As if oxygen couldn't reach his lungs. It hurt but was filled with a different kind of feeling. As if his heart was overflowing. A bleeding kind of feeling but in a pounding and fluttering way. As if his heart couldn't pump enough blood to supply oxygen to his body.

Irregular but steady beats. Palpitations.
