Event/Setting: Chad and Kelsi’s wedding
Once upon a time, in the city of Albuquerque, there lived a young woman by the name of Kelsi Nielsen. Other than the four years she had spent away at school, she had been born and raised in the New Mexico city. For as long as she could remember, she, her mom and her grandma had lived in the right-side of a duplex and on the left-side, lived her prince, Chad Danforth.
Kelsi and Chad had been friends since they were little. They had helped each other with everything: school, sports, music, etc. He had even rescued her from a not-so-nice guy which had led to them becoming more than friends during their final year of high school.
The four years she had spent in New York City for school while he remained in Albuquerque, had tested their relationship, but it was behind them now. They had been engaged for a year and a half and now they were getting married.
Our story starts on the eve of their wedding; Kelsi is sleeping in her childhood bedroom one last time and is awoken by two swift knocks.
Kelsi sat up with a start, trying to figure out where the knocks had come from. She climbed from her bed and peered out of the window then checked the door, but nobody was at either place. Confused, she returned to her bed and was getting comfortable with the knocks came again from the other side of the wall.
“Chad!” She exclaimed. She knocked the wall once then grabbed her cell phone, which rang right away.
“I was beginning to think you had changed your mind about marrying me tomorrow,” he teased.
“No way, you’re stuck with me forever,” Kelsi replied.
“Good,” he smiled.
“Aren’t you supposed to be with your friends?” Kelsi asked. “Or at our apartment?”
“They dropped me off at the apartment an hour or so ago,” Chad replied. “And I went to bed right after, but I couldn’t fall asleep without you laying next to me.”
“Oh, Chad,” she said, feel her eyes tear up a bit.
“Plus, this just feels right,” he stated. “Spending the night before our wedding in the place that started it all.”
“It does feel right,” she replied quietly as she laid back on her bed. “I love you, Chad.”
“I love you, too,” he said. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After hanging up, they both pulled their pillows closer to the wall that separated them and fell asleep.
Kelsi was awoken a few hours later by her mom and grandma when they came into wake her up.
“We have presents for you,” her grandma said, holding out a box for Kelsi.
Kelsi opened the box and felt tears spring to her eyes when she saw the pearl necklace she knew had been in her family for generations.
“They’re your something borrowed and your something old,” her grandma said, unclasping the necklace with her shaky hands. “My grandmother let me borrow them for my wedding and my mom let your mom borrow them for her wedding and now I’m letting you borrow them for your wedding and someday you’ll loan them to your granddaughter for her wedding.”
“Thank you grandma,” Kelsi said, once the pearls were secured around her neck.
“And I have two things for you,” her mom said, sitting down on the bed next to her. “The first is your something new.”
Kelsi opened the box and smiled when she saw a pair of pearl earrings that matched the necklace perfectly. Like the pearl necklace, the earrings were part of a tradition, but they were always given to the bride by her mother.
“And this last one is your something blue,” her mom said, handing Kelsi a small ring box.
Kelsi opened it and found a gold class ring with a blue stone. She didn’t have to ask whose it was because she already knew: it was her father’s.
“He wanted you to wear it on your wedding day,” her mom explained. “It was one of his last wishes before he passed away.”
Tearfully, Kelsi reached over and hugged her mom. Her father had passed away from leukemia when she was five years old, but he had been sick with the disease since her first birthday. Her mom often said that he would have been proud of the way Kelsi had grown up and that he predicted that she would marry Chad.
After their emotional gift giving, Kelsi went to the bathroom to shower then joined her mom and grandma for a small breakfast before they left to get their hair done with Chad’s mom and sister. Kelsi’s bridesmaids, Sharpay, Gabriella and Taylor, met them at the hair salon and one by one, they got their hair, makeup and nails done for the wedding.
Once their hair was done, they all climbed into their cars to head to the wedding location. They were the first to arrive and quickly made their way to the room they had set aside for getting ready.
After getting into her gown, Kelsi was presented with another gift, a bracelet with blue jewels from Chad’s mom and sister. She thanked them and slid her dad’s ring on before clasping it on her wrist.
The time passed quickly and soon it was just Kelsi and her mom waiting to walk down the aisle where Chad was waiting.
“That’s our cue, baby girl,” her mom said, once the music began.
Kelsi slipped her arm through her mom’s and together they walked down the aisle to Chad. Tears were already in the corner of her eyes by the time they got to Chad and started to trickle out after her mom gave her away.
Hand-in-hand, face-to-face, Kelsi and Chad exchanged their wedding vows in front of their family and friends and slid rings onto each other’s fingers.
“I now pronounce you husband and wife,” the justice of peace said. “You may now kiss your bride.”
Kelsi let out a squeal as Chad grabbed her, dipped her backwards then kissed her. She happily wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
And they all lived happily ever after.
