The Fiction of My Life...

Since childhood, we have always been fond of reading fiction or a fairy tale, where foolish wishes and unthinkable dreams seem to be coming true! In the end we realise that this actually was fiction. Out of such famous ones, I remember the excerpts from 'Breaking Dawn'. Bella at the time of her wedding is as nervous as never before - shivering, nervous, hyperventilating and senseless! And something like this did happen to me...


"One step at a time, I told myself as we began to descend to the slow tempo of the march.I could hear the murmurs and rustling of the audience as i came into view. As soon as my feet were past the treacherous stairs, i was looking for him. For a brief second, I was distracted by the profusion of white blossom that hung in garlands from everything in the room...

But I tore my eyes from the bowery canopy and searched across the rows of satin-draped chairs - blushing more deeply as I took in the crowd of faces all focused on me - until I found him at last, standing before an arch overflowing with more flowers. I didn't see my mother where she must have been sitting in the front row, or my new family, or any of the guests - they would have to wait till later. All i really saw was Edward's face, it filled my vision and overwhelmed my mind. His eyes were buttery, burning gold, his perfect face was almost severe with the depth of his emotion. And then, as he met my awed gaze, he broke into a breathtaking smile of exultation. And then at last, at last, I was there...

In that moment, my world which had been upside down for so long now, seemed to settle into its propoer position. I just saw how silly I'd been for fearing this - as if it were an embarassing exhibition. I looked into his shining, triumphant eyes and knew that I was winning, too. Because nothing else mattered but that I could stay with him. I felt like being at home."


And then, when we finally exchanged our rings, my heart, very slowly said....I do!! I realised that day the need of dreaming. I had dreamt of this...and when it came true, I was all ready for it..with a sheer nervvousness.

A fiction of my life has come true....my Edward has come into my life!
