August 5th, we renewed our vows on Cocoa Beach.
My husband and I went for a walk on the beach tonight and standing on the shore line was a just married bride and tuxedoed groom complete with photographers and maid of honor and all that jazz. The bride was wearing a strapless white satin long flowing dress. She had bunched up her gown. Her white cren-a-lyn slip was hanging down and through the white weaved fabric her bare feet could be seen tip toeing through the sand as she and her group had turned from the waters edge to head for their reception back in the hotel restaurant.
My husband and I continued walking hand in hand, leisurely strolling down the edge of the Atlantic Ocean when we saw over to the right by the sand dunes a heart shaped area with rose petals outlined in the sand with a narrow pathway leading into the heart. Rose petals were strewn all over the site. This must be where their ceremony took place.
Gleefully, I said to my husband. Lets hold a space for that couple that just got married.
He said: "Okay"!
My husband almost never says no to me.
I asked him to walk down the skinny path into the heart that was strewn with red and pink and white petals.
My husband was wearing long white pants and a Hawaiian shirt.
I was wearing a denim mini-skirt with a leopard tank top and a long sleeve pea green corduroy shirt.
I took off my shirt and placed it over my head. My husband turned around at the end of the "isle" and waited for me. I strut very slowly holding my make believe wedding bouquet and moved like I was doing the "wedding walk" to that traditional "march"
Hear comes the bride
while strutting slowly, I waved to imaginary guests at our imaginary ceremony.
Now we are standing face to face. My husbands eyes are shining in the moonlight and we grasp each others hands and are silent for a time. It is a peaceful easy feeling looking into his eyes and smiling and being quite in the stillness of the ocean waves. I brake the silence and make up some vows and he makes up some vows and there is a little kiss and wow, we just shared another magic moment of make believe to treasure forever.
Next we walk back down the aisle and we are living happily ever after!
