I Remember...My Wedding Day #SOL20

Today I mined my notebook and found a series of "I remember..." entries. I expanded a few of them to write the story of my unconventional wedding day.

I remember the night I got married. 

          There were no invitations.

I remember telling my sister we were getting married, and she asked when. 

          I said tonight at 7:30.

I remember borrowing a camera. 

          I wish I had known the film wasn't in right.

I remember saying "I do."

          The church was empty.

I remember walking into Dave's mom and dad's house all dressed up, and she asked where had we been.

          We said a wedding.

I remember she asked whose wedding.

          We said ours.

I remember her crying.

         Dave was the only child out of seven she didn't see get married.

I remember her hugging me.

          I was welcomed into the family.
