Nineteen years ago...

This is a repost with some grammatical corrections...

It was an awkward kiss that ended our brief wedding ceremony. We received polite congratulations from the Justice of the Peace and from our two good older friends who stood as our witnesses. Bringing out the color of his eyes, Jason looked regal in his new charcoal colored suit while I felt fat in my red printed silk dress. Taking at the moment, we took our time descending the marble steps of the old ornate building serving as a courthouse. The only sound in the lobby was the echo from our shoe heels hitting the hard marble floor. Outside was a gloriously sunny spring day. Breathing in the fresh fragrant air, Jason and I, together with our 2 friends ambled across the street to the parking lot. It was decided to go to Apple Bees to celebrate the occasion.
