I pull around a line of taxis to get to my desired spot. As I pull to the curb I see two stunningly beautiful young people. They are very tan and look incredibly tired but happy. They recognize my car and break into grins. I put the gearshift into Park and undo my seatbelt as I turn the car off. Unlocking the car to step out I see them in the rear view mirror pulling their bags. I am so excited to see them. Walking back I pop the trunk with my key fob and he immediately throws the bags into the trunk. "Whoooaaa" I say "You know I have to get a picture of ya'll getting back!" They laugh and smile and unload the two carry on bags that have now been to Mexico and back. As I watch him pull his bag around I see his hand. His left hand and forearm still smaller and not as strong as a year ago suddenly bears that he is beyond all doubt a grown man. His tanned hand is adorned by a ring on his 3rd finger, a wedding band. For a second I am in awe that my precious baby is a 25 year old married man but only for a second for my next sight is of him looking at her, his precious bride his eyes and face filled with love and adoration. I snap the picture.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful moment to record :-)
ReplyDeleteAren't they indeed beautiful! As is your proud and happy moment. You capture the waiting and looking so well ... And although twenty five sounds so young these days, even though we were that age when we married, they look so mature and confident. You clearly did a great job :).
