RAFAEL

She was wearing white and looked too good in it. She was walking down a floral path towards me and I can't help but feel overwhelmed. She looked too beautiful, I almost felt like I didn't deserve her.

She smiled, her smile only pulled me in even further. 

"Only a week ago, I found myself perplexed standing outside an apartel in Zone C4. It didn't occur to me that I would be falling for this amazing woman right in front of me in an instant. The moment I had laid my eyes on her, I knew that I was a goner. I can't imagine a life without her. Today, in the eyes of my loved ones and acquaintances, I make a promise to love and cherish you forever and beyond." I hear myself speaking, the sound echoing inside my head. It was as if each word was being emphasized right in this instance.

"Shay Reynolds Zephanie, will you take me to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
