Serenity Wedding
Michelle was in the room with her mom. Helping her change into the beautiful peach color kimono dress she cried.
"Michelle? Sweetheart... what's the matter?"
"It's nothing mom. It's just you're so beautiful. I'm so happy for you and daddy. You've both shown us children over and over just how strong your love is. I often wonder if you and dad have any idea how much we all look up too you both."
Caressing her daughters cheek, she whispered...
"We do love. Trust us Michelle. Your father and I know."
Wiping at her tears, Michelle had her mom sit in the chair to do her hair. Pinning it all on top of her head, she placed litle delicate flowers.
"There we go mom. Have a look."
Getting up, Stella looked into the mirror. She couldn't believe what her daughter had done. Her hair was all up in a bun, with little tendral curls falling softly down the sides. The peach colored flowers, set off the hint of gray, in her hair. Making the complete look, stunning, daring, and beautiful.
Meanwhile on the beach near the rocks. Mac waited with impatients.
"Mac... you need to calm down. You'd think this was your first time. Just breathe." laughed Peter.
"You try being me. Whether it's the first time, or the second or third. You will always be nervous. For no matter how perfect a couple you are. There is always that doubt that she's to beautiful, comforting or understanding for you. Leaving you to feel unworthy at times."
"I highly doubt that Mac. If anything Stella is most likely feeling that way. I'm sure she still feels unsettled with the pain she caused you. But I know the two of you will work through it. You both have too many years behind you, not too."
As Mac was about to say something else, he seen his beautiful wife making her way down the beach. Words couldn't describe how Mac felt at that moment. His wife was breathtakingly beautiful. She looked like a goddess come down from the heavens, to bless his life.
Nearing her side, he could see her tears glistening in the sun as she walked. Reaching out his shaking hand, he took hers into his.
"You're shaking as bad as I am Mac. I love you."
"I love you too, Mrs.Taylor."
Facing the Minister, Stella smiled. Holding up the video camera, Peter began taping.
"Dear Lord,
Mac Taylor and Stella Bonasera Taylor. Come to you this day, to ask you for your blessing of their second union into marriage. They ask that you help continue to guide them, nurture them, and protect them in your love. We ask this in your name our Lord, Amen.
"Amen." they all repeated.
"Mac if you like, you may start your vow."
Facing his wife, he took her hands and wrapped them within his.
"My beautiful Stella,
Never in my life did I think I would learn to live again. You have given me the best years of my life. With your love, and your understanding you guided me from my painful dark memories into the light. Something I never thought I would be capable of feeling again. Now that we stand before God, and the angels. I know we are able to survive each storm, each mile of hurt, with each others love. But most of all, we are treasured in the joy, warmth, and comfort of our children and grandchildren. After all these years Stella Bonasera Taylor, it was your beautiful spirit, passionate soul, that brought you home to my heart. Never lost along the way, for the path of our spirits were never closed. They were just trapped within a stormy cloud for a while. A cloud that has since disappeared, from our undying passion and love. So on this day my beautiful wife, I will promise to love, honor, and continue to charish you in sickness, health, pain and despire, till death do us part."
Stella was in tears. Her heart felt so loved, so cherished with her husbands words.
"Mac,
I stand before you for a second time in our life. Our life that we have built on strength, understanding, and love. I honestly thought we would never be here before God and his beautiful painting exchanging our vows for a second time. I feel so undeserving of your lo...trying to catch her breath, while hold back her tears. She continued. Love. I know that I've hurt you, damaged your heart, your spirit. All parts of you, you entrusted to me all those years ago, to honor, respect and comfort them. For that I now ask for forgiveness from God and his angels, for the pain and suffering I've done to your passionate soul. I promise you this day Mac, that I will spend each moment, of each day healing the wounds I've caused to you, and our family. Promise to continue to love, cherish, guide and comfort you in my love. Together as two, I know we will spend our future days keeping each others worlds, desires, dreams, alive. All this I promise you, promise you till death do we part.
Taking out the rings, Stella looked at them. So delicate, so fragile as the little shell almost glowed against the sun. Passing one to his wife, they held their left hands out, and as they placed the rings near their fingers, the sun disappeared. Swearing under his breath, Peter nor Michelle could believe what they were seeing. If they had not been filming it, they would have swore they were all dreaming.
Watching the two white turtle doves come down, one landing on each of their left hands. In the shape of a heart, as Mac and Stella slid their rings onto their fingers. Leaving Mac, Stella and the Minister stunned by this beautiful gift the angels were giving them. Leaning in Mac kissed Stella, at the same time as the doves kissed, then flying away, the sky became bright and the sun reproduced its heat, like it never disappeared.
No one moved. No one dared to speak. For something this spiritual, this real, to happen was not only truly God's blessing, but enchanting as well.
Facing the Minister again, they noticed his aww, matched theirs. Then they heard him say...
"By the power invested in me, God, and this truly blessed land. I now pronounce you, husband and wife, again. You may kiss your bride."
Turning to face his wife he caressed her cheek. Then softly, tenderly pulling her in, he kissed her with all the passion, love, tenderness, and warmth inside him. Breaking their kiss, Michelle and Peter smiled.
"Mom... did you see that? Please tell me you seen that?" she cried.
"We did love."
Walking from the beach, hand and hand. They headed back to their rooms. Knowing that on this day, their marriage had truly been blessed.
