"Oh my God! You look flawless! I have never seen someone so beautiful my entire life!"-Says Loredana.

Today was the day... today was the day I was going to get married with the love of my life. There weren't words to describe what I felt. I felt happy, nervous, but most of all I felt blessed. I was blessed to have found my love and now to be with him forever..

"You say I'm looking flawless, but girl look at you! You look great in a dress."-I say to her.

Loredana was wearing a royal blue gown and she looked very nice.

"Thank you, I am always wearing suits so this is a new one"-she says.

"Well, you look lovely in it."-I say smiling at her.

She looks at me with her small shiny eyes and says:"If your parents would be watching they would be very proud and and happy for you."

I couldn't help, but think of my parents. I wished they would have been here today, but I'm sure they are looking at me from somewhere in the sky.

"I'm sure they are."-I say to Loredana.

"Of course. It's time now."-she says to me.

The children started walking first, throwing flower petals at the aisle.

Okay, this is it.-I think and I take a deep breath.

I hold my bouquet. The music begins to play and I start walking.

As I walk in everyone's attention was in me. Some of the people were admiring and commenting about me and others just looking at me in awe.

I continue walking and my eyes meet a pair of brown ones looking at me in adoration. Those eyes were now warm and full of love unlike a long time ago.

I smile at Domenico and he smiles too. He was keeping his posture, but I could tell he was trying really hard not to get emotional.

The music stops and so do I. Domenico takes my hand, comes close to me and whispers:"Io di solito ti chiamo principessa, ma oggi io non vedo nessuna principessa. Oggi vedo una regina, la mia regina."(I usually call you princess, but today I don't see a princess. Today I see a queen, my queen.)

We seat together and the priest starts the ceremony:"Dearly beloved: we have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony. The bond and covenant of marriage was established by God in creation, and our Lord Jesus Christ adorned this manner of life by his presence and first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. It signifies to us the mystery of the union between Christ and his Church, and Holy Scripture commends it to be honored among all people.

The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity; and, when it is God's will, for the procreation of children and their nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord. Therefore marriage is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, deliberately, and in accordance with the purposes for which it was instituted by God."

Dianora Rossi do you accept this man to be your husband; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?

Domenico Del Vecchio do you accept this woman to be your wife; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?

By the powers vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride.

After that moment we kiss and then we get outside of the church where other people were waiting for us...

The love of my life was holding my hand and I felt like the gates of heaven were now open for us..

"I can't believe we are now husband and wife."-I say to Domenico.

"Well you better believe it, you are now my wife, in church and legally. But there is something I must do now."-he says as he gets closer to me, my back touching his chest.

He started kissing on my neck and then he started kissing on my shoulder while he was unzipping my dress.

Then he turned me to face him. My dress was off in seconds and I was unbuttoning his shirt.

After one minute I was in my white lingerie and he in his boxers.

His eyes never left mine as we were both laying in our bed, now completely naked. He smirks at me as we were now ready to go on with our first night of marriage...
