Two will come together and become one. There is no other beautiful sight to behold than to see couples professing their love for one another. The sparkling eyes of the bride jam with the lovely and tender smile of the groom, they stand face to face looking at each other.

Brown Paper Package, Tied Up with String
Of all the wedding presents that Shayleen and Max received for their big day, the one that stood out was the one that wasn't wrapped in gold and white and glitter. There wasn't any indication who gave it. No one could remember who brought it and they almost missed it when they were opening their gifts after their honeymoon, their living room piled high with tissue paper, gaudy gift bags, and colored ribbons.

If you Squint at the Marigolds
It was the end of Cynthia and Johnny’s 30th wedding anniversary celebration. Vases of marigold flowers illuminated the living room, they were Cynthias’ favourite. If you squinted, you could see Kilmts’ lovers kissing. That’s what Cynthia loved about flowers, she told me, “If you squint at the flowers, you’ll always see love.” Johnny and I walked down the hall to the little spare room. The one that always had soft music playing in the background with the green rocking chair and the big wedding photo. I am like a daughter to him and he is like a grandfather to me, so he talks to me when he needs to. He closed the door and settled on the rocking chair. He pointed for me to sit on the sofa next to him. Not a word. Something filled the room. Sadness or regret. I couldn’t tell. I broke the silence. “What is happening Johnny, whatever it is, it looks like it’s killing you. You’re- you’re not dying are you?”

A Special Day in June
Three more days until my wedding date, until my forever. How have nine months passed us by in the blink of an eye? It was the midst of September, but felt like it was only yesterday when John knelt down on one knee in front of the old barn telling me he wanted us to spend the rest of our lives together. What a blissful day. The sun danced throughout the grove, grazing the golden and burgundy leaves of the aspen trees as autumn was in full bloom. A second close favorite season of mine, right behind summer. I have always dreamed of a June wedding.
