to say? I can’t live without him. He fills my void. I don’t know if I can live forever with him though. He wanted an answer.
“Yes.” I said quietly. He stood up.
“Yes?” He asked. I can’t believe he’s going to make me say it again.
“Yes.” I smiled. I hope he couldn’t tell it was a fake smile.
“Yes!” He shouted and kissed me. As we kissed the water came on shore and touched our bare feet. Did I really just say yes? “I love you.” He kissed me.
“I love you too.” I replied. But did I really?

The wedding didn’t take long to plan. He did everything. The only thing I did was pick out the dresses and colors. As everyone was gathered around in the seats of the church I looked at him. He was talking to his buddies by the priest.
“I can’t do this.” I told my Mother who was fixing my vail.
“What do you mean you can’t do this?” She asked.
“I mean I don’t love him. I mean I do love him but I don’t know if I want to spend the rest of my life with him.” I explained.
“Oh, Janey.” She sighed. “What did you get yourself into?”
“Were ready.” My Dad said. We put aside our differences for today. I took his arm and he kissed my cheek.
“You look beautiful.” He smiled.
“Thank you.” I replied. The organs began to play. To me is sounded like a death march but I guess its traditional. I looked at Ken. He was smiling the most biggest grin. What am I going to do? I can’t hurt him. He’s been here for me through it all. My father gave me away and Ken took my hands and smiled as we stood across from each other. I looked into his eyes as the priest went on and on. I tuned him out.
Is this really what I’m suppose to do? This isn’t where I thought I was going to be. I want it to be Alan. Jane, Alan isn’t coming back. This is the next step. Take it. Don’t be afraid. I love Ken. I love Ken. I love Ken. I love Ken. I love Ken. I love Ken. I love Ken. I love Ken. I’m not afraid. I can do this. I can make the next step. I tuned the preacher back in. I heard him say,
“Is there anyone who thinks that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony? Speak now or forever hold your peace.” He said and then the church doors flew open. Everyone turned.
“I do!” Alan screamed. I dropped my flowers. I looked at him. It was really him. He’s actually here. Everyone looked at him but he was only looking at me. He walked up to me. “This woman is already married.” He paused. “To me.” Gasps went through the church. Ken’s family’s eyes got wide. Debbie dropped her flowers. My Mother stood up.
“Alan!” I screamed and ran into his arms. We kissed. We didn’t stop kissing. My Mother was crying she was so happy. Ken tried to walk to me but Debbie stopped him.
“Don’t.” She said. Ken sat down with his face in his hands. Alan and I took a breath and hugged. I wiped his tears.
“It really is you.” I smiled. He wiped my drippy make up.
“Yes.” He smiled. He set me back down.
“Excuse us.” My Mother said. She grabbed Debbie’s arm. Debbie grabbed Ken and Alan and I followed. We went into the area where I got dressed. My Mother closed the door behind us. Alan and I set down together. I didn’t let go of him. I couldn’t. For some reason I felt as if I let go then he’d disappear again.
“Alan, is that really you?” My Mother asked. Alan stood up and hugged her.
“Where have you been? They told us you were dead.” I cried. He calmed me down. He’s the only one who could ever know how to stop my crying.
“After the bomb some of the natives around there found me. They took me back to a town and nursed me back to health. I lost my memory and didn’t know where I was. I met a girl. Her name was Mariska. We were walking through town when I found a paper on your wedding. Everything came back to my like a speeding bullet. I remembered you.” He kissed me. I hugged him.
“I love you.” I cried. Ken sat with his head in his hands. I kelt down beside him.
“Ken?” I asked. He looked up with tears in his eyes. “You were there when no one else was. You picked me up when I was down.”
“Jane, don’t leave me.” He begged.
“Sh.” I hugged him. “I love you but my heart had always belonged to Alan. Always have and always will.” He stood up and left. “Ken, don’t leave.” I begged but he slammed the door. I stood back up and hugged Alan. Debbie was sitting in the chair beside me over whelmed. I was over whelmed myself. There was so much that has just happened.
“Never leave me again!” I told him.
“Never.” He said. My Mother stood up with tears in her eyes.
“What are we going to do about the wedding?” She asked.
“It doesn’t have to go to waste.” Debbie suggested. I nodded. I looked at Alan. He was wearing just a regular button up shirt and jeans but I didn’t care what he looked like. As long as he was here with me. I smiled at him.
“But we don’t have the ring.” He sighed. I pulled out my neckless that was over my heart.
“I always wear it close to my heart.” I smiled. He kissed me.
“What are we waiting for?” He asked.
“Wait? Can I process this, please?” I asked.
“Okay.” He smiled. I looked at him and touched his face. I kissed his lips.
“Promise me that you wont leave me.” I told him.
“I promise I will never leave you. I will always be there.” He promised. We hugged and then my Mom escorted us. She opened the big doors and there we stood.
“There is still going to be a wedding.” My Mother smiled. “With Jane and Alan.”
Alan took my hand. We walked down the aisle together. We stood at the alter and with a kiss we seal our love. Everyone cheered and smiled. We were finally together. Forever.

Its now fifty years later and we are still together. We’ve had three children who’ve all grown up and married. All together we have five grandchildren and two of them are twins. My Mother died not long after the wedding. She had died but the doctor’s didn’t know why. My father died only years after her from a heart attack. Alan and I moved into there house. Jesse moved out and ended up marrying Debbie. They live only a mile from our house. Alan and I live peacefully in the house that started it all and to think I almost believed her was actually gone.
