my pretty dress

post from january 2, 2010. i took it from my facebook notes and thought i'd transfer it here.

"can you zip me up?"

"wow, you look beautiful! hold on, i'm brushing my teeth, give me a sec"

"whew, it's a little tighter than i remember"

"well, it HAS been two years"

"yeah, but still..."

"well, i think you look great!"

"definitely brings back a lot of memories"

"the best day of my life"

i stood in front of the mirror a while, running my hands over the fabric. he walks in from finishing up in the bathroom, "you still have it on?"

"yeah"

"what are you thinking"

"i feel pretty" i say with a smile.

from there i go throughout the house, still with the dress on, turning off all the lights, closing all the shades, tidying up the living room...

then i'm back in front of the mirror, hands at my side, slightly swaying to see the dress go back and forth, back and forth...

(sigh) "well, that was fun"

i climb out of the dress, placing it gently back in the garment bag and slip into my pj's.

"cmon" he chuckles "let's go to bed"

i love being married :)
