Everyone else is still asleep. It is six o’clock in the morning on a beautiful spring day. The sun is already awake, and shines its warmth upon me. I sit in this patio chair, sip my coffee, listen to the birds chirp, and realize my mind is my personal mirror into my past. I rejoice in each trial, each triumph. I accept how each one, great or small, has helped create a balance in my life over these past five years. I realize that who I am now is because of all that has happened. I would never be who I am today without enduring every single lesson. I am happy, and deserve to marry the love of my life, the keeper of my heart, and the protector of my soul.

Today is a day I have earned. I have overcome, am still overcoming some things, but I have survived. I still see my good doc. He is part of my personal journey, and helped to bring me this far, even if I do not want to admit it.

This day starts my very own fairy tale come true. It is a reflection of me, a reflection of Stefan. It is a proven example of who we have become together.

Today is my wedding day! Today, I marry my best friend, and vow our forever and always before our family and friends.

It has been five years since that night on the beach where I celebrated my twenty-first. Before that night, I had envisioned it would be a night of fun with drinks until I hung over a toilet and woke the next morning without memories of much. I mean, is that not a typical legal celebration? Of course, my twenty-first was didn’t go according to those typical twenty-first celebratory stereotypes I’ve ever witnessed by friends or had heard of.

Mine marked the start of a promise. That night forever left its footprints upon the grains of my heart, and became the night where my forever and always began with a pure blessing of a mother’s love.

“There you are? I’ve been looking for you. Today’s the big day! I couldn’t sleep and was so excited for you. But it’s so freaking early. Ugh! You didn’t sleep, either, I bet.” Jade takes the seat next to mine.

“Hey! I know! O-mi-god, Jade, I am so… I don’t know. So many things. I am beyond happy. I feel so blessed. Mostly, I’m sitting here, thinking back, reflecting. I remember how Stefan proposed. I remember being so thrilled to share it with all of you later that night over dinner. And I even celebrated not only my engagement, but also my birthday with my favorite people. It was the best night ever.”

I glance over at her and smile with fresh crystal clear memories. She sips her coffee, but remains silent. I take a sip of my own. “So much has happened. So much has changed. Sometimes, after it all, I wonder if I even deserve all of this happiness, you know.
