The Bride

Getting married for the wrong reasons.

Style Me Pretty

Some might describe them as a molten pool of chocolate. Others might describe them as a freshly-brewed cup of coffee. More might describe them as the shade of a freshly-made pan of gooey brownies. Me? I like to describe them as a steaming pile of shit. I mean, nothing's particularly wrong with his eyes. They are a perfectly normal pair of eyes. No glasses, or contacts, or anything. Almost too perfect. But that’s exactly why I hate them.

Maybe, I would like them more if it wasn’t for the millions of camera flashes going off every minute. It's annoying. I already know I'll remember this day for the rest of my life. Pictures are not necessary. They should take in their surroundings instead; this is the fanciest event many of the guests ever attended. (Myself included.)

Or perhaps, it's the flowers. Of course, the one flower I hate are the ones covering every inch of this building. Orchids. (I. Hate. Orchids.) I can hold down five shots of vodka no problem, but give me a bouquet of orchids, and I will frantically offer to pay for dry cleaning to rid your clothes of my vomit because "manners".

I distract myself by gazing down the length of my husband. Damn, he is tall. (And well-built.) I don’t mind this part of the deal, at all. I wasn’t promised anything, but that does not mean I won't do my best to get some benefits for myself. He comes with a hefty package, and I'm not past enjoying the advantages it provides.

Finishing my examination, I glance over at the priest. The sweat on his upper lip makes me throw up a little in my mouth, so I quickly look away. He still drones on and on about stuff I don’t give a rat’s ass about.

For better, for worse... Yes, until you get old, and ugly, and have wrinkles, and lose those abs...

For richer, for poorer... This is only happening because you’re rich, and if you ever lose that, then I’m leaving you faster than I drove that one time I tried to outrun the cops...

In sickness, and in health... You have another thing coming if you think I’ll take care of your sorry ass when you get sick...

Until death do us part... or until the next guy with a bigger wallet comes by.

You may now kiss the bride.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
