On This Day

Wow, I can’t believe it’s here, this day we both will say I do and be husband and wife. The thought of waiting seem to be forever, but the thought of the day being actually here seems unbelievable.

I was an undergrad in college studying criminal justice, in the spring of 2007. It was busy of course, but the weather was great. The new students walking through the campus finding their classes as well as the returning students floating through to get their semester over with. It was but a good hour when I had finish my class introduction that a tall, built, but calm eyed fellow pierced his focus into my direction and began over looking anyone that was in his view and stayed steady in my presence. Of course I was alone, a little timid, nervous, but stayed cool and pretended I didn’t notice his eyes on me as I hustled by. The ground almost caught me had I not paid attention, so I quickly resume my aim towards my dorm until a class mate immediately interrupted my exit. “ Oh I was so nervous, but didn’t want to be rude and stopped swiftly to see what the class mate needed. So as I and the class mate spoke, the tall, built guy that was staring at me soon, immediately came towards me, passing anyone in front and beside him. As I seen his figure approaching me, I began to quickly ended I and the class mate’s conversation and started again aiming towards my dorm until, of course my professor slowed me down and approach me with concerns and henceforth cause the tall built guy to finally made his way to me.

After the professor imply his remarks to me about class, he immediately looked up and saw the tall built guy and said, Hello David, how was Pre-cal coming along? In my mind I was so embarrassed, but interested when the professor pointed the guy’s studies out and with joy and confidence. The guy responded back to the professor with a deep voice and mellow calm manor assuring the professor that all was well and was staring at me at the same time. The professor took notice and introduced him to me and I to him and that’s when things really took off from that year on.

David and I dated for almost three years and unexpectedly out of nowhere, David took me somewhere quiet, private, but beautiful and started singing to me and immediately half of his family and mines came from around the way into our view and started singing along with David. I really didn’t know what was going on until David looked right dead at my 4ft 8 height looking up to his 6ft 5, and got on his knees and said, "AunYah , I loved you when I first met you and the way you walk drives me crazy to the point I want you so bad to be in my life and to hopefully become mines.” Then David started crying and whispered softly and calmly holding a small, opened, red box and said, AunYah “ Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

I was so speechless, shocked and teary eyed and couldn’t contain my posture, that I did what I did in college almost tripped. My family member had to catch me and my mind wasn’t were it was suppose to be, because in my mind all this time this tall, handsome man was only for me and made sure I was his...all the thoughts, the memories were circulated into my wild shocked heart to revive it and made me aware how fortunate I am that thus man came to me just as I am...oh how I cried and held my family member tight and softly replied to him in tears, Yes, Yes I will be your wife”

Oh how both our families rejoiced in full joy and happiness as well as our friends. It was beautiful and sudden, but in do time the best was yet to come.

“Yes, on this day, this beautiful peaceful day, David and I are getting married in my adorn dress fit for nature as well as David’s Black and blue suite tailored made for a gorgeous sky. My eyes, still tearful walking with my dad towards my soon to be husband and oh how my heart dance with joy seeing him at the altar waiting for me and only me as was in college. My mind just couldn’t tap my tears back as the music played softly, Peter Cetera’s , Glory of Love” for it was so fitting, so soothing so rementing on us. As my dad gave me to David, his eyes were glued on me and followed every word the priest was saying...David did not miss a syllable untouched of how he felt and expressed how much he loved me.

when it became my turn for the vows, the memories of us were on point and very detailed and I expressed my love for him and after that we kissed and became husband and wife.

Even though David was unable to take me to a castle far away, he did took us to a beautiful resort just us far and far away with love and joy..

David Ammin, Thank you for letting me be me and loving me right towards our next chapter in life..

I love you

AunYah Rein. Johnson
