Eva had dreamed of this day her whole life. She couldn't believe that it was really here. She and Brad had been a perfect fit from day one. That first glance across a crowded room had made their lives one. The rest was just a formality after the last 3 years of blissful courtship between the pair. Everything in their relationship had been so romantic and so perfect, it was only natural after love at first glance to choose today...February 14 to cement their coming together. THE day of love-for lovers-about nothing more than love, romance, life, trust, hopes and dreams. All of which Brad and Eva had found in the souls of one another.
Today the rest of the world would know how they felt. They would recite their vows in the beautiful ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria in front of all their friends and family. The ballroom was decorated with peach and cream roses everywhere. The columns wrapped in garlands of flowers. A fountain in the center to bring the outdoors inside and the garden in the ballroom with its clearly lit trees had come to life.
As she walked to her future husband on the arm of her father all Eva could think is that she had finally found home-in Brad. Their eyes meet, and it was the finalization of two hearts melting into one. Tearfully Eva and her father relinquished their care of one another as Eva now stepped into a new role as Brad's primary care giver and her father had to relinquish his life-long position as Eva's protector and most important man alive.
The couple took their vows in the beautiful garden setting of peaches and cream. And just as the lone dove was released at the end of their vows, so came away one soul for both bride and groom to share forever.
The couple enjoyed a wonderful reception with their family and friends. Dancing in a candlelit garden of elegant beauty. Feasting on Cornish hens and a marvelous vanilla bean white wedding cake that was incased in the darkest, richest chocolate you'd ever seen surrounded in delicate white chocolate tea roses and topped off with two white chocolate swans with their beaks forming a heart of pure love.
The bride threw her bouquet of cream roses with long flowing peach ribbons to her best friend Sarah. The groom's brother caught the garter and the normal riot of placing it on the leg of the newest bouquet holder ensued. The bride and groom stayed to dance one last song...I Need You...by Leanne Rhimes before heading upstairs to their own little version of heaven.
The honeymoon suite at the Waldorf was beautiful, elegant and extravagant. A real departure from Eva's normal earthy personality. That was why Brad had chosen this place for their honeymoon. He wanted to lavish her in luxury for the week. As he carried her across the threshold of their room the happy couple was greeted by rose petals that led a path of sweet smelling love to the beautiful bed. Beside which a tall sliver pedestal bucket held an iced bottle of champagne two heart shaped goblets waiting.
Shortly after they arrived at the suite, Eva began taking off her veil when room service arrived with Brad's secret surprise. He dutifully met them at the door and rolled the cart in himself-Right to the base of the bed. Through the mirror Eva saw a beautiful fountain of chocolate. As she turned from the vanity stool she saw a three-tier sterling silver fountain surrounded by dark red roses and strawberries that bubbled pure dark liquid heaven from its top like a volcano-Chocolate from heaven she thought. Brad knew how much she loved chocolate, and until the one bite of cake they'd fed each other at the reception that evening she'd forgone it for months and months to be as perfectly beautiful in her ivory wedding gown as possible.
She was so beautiful standing there in her wedding gown. Hair still pinned up in a bundle of curls. As she walked toward him Brad felt like the luckiest man on the planet. They embraced and he kissed her slowly.
Reaching up behind her head he unpinned her hair and watched as the waves of chocolate curls fell to her shoulders she was so beautiful. Brad kissed her neck and then he reached around for a strawberry and rubbed its sweet redness across her beautifully full pink lips and watched as the tip of her tongue came out to trace its path. Biting off its tip then he finished the rest and headed around to the back of her dress. Not wanting to wait a minute longer to see all that lay beneath it.
