Wedding Bells and the Summer Time: A Match Made in Heaven...

Carla Thulani, Vernita Akua, and MRS. Tammie Boston!

There is something about the brightness of the Summer time. How it leans over and kisses your brows with sweat. The heightened sense of freedom, as if freedom is only reserved for the presense of the hottest days; The sun shining brightly, and piercing the hearts of us mere mortals. And it has been on one of these all too familiar sunny Summer days, that several of my cousins and friends have made the ultimate commitment, the commitment to be forever connected to their bethrothed. July in particular has been good to my relatives; Three weddings, in three weeks! It's Love, and even my usual cynical self cannot deny the good intentions that are two souls who have finally found a puzzle that fits. Clasped auburn hands, a slight hand on the small of one's back, the awareness that there is another presence always there, that you are not alone. My heart pummels over itself , for its rather difficult for me to see myself connected to any being save for God. For the Creator is the only entity I fully and willingly trust... but then such prodding bares the question how can I say I overtly love God, and not be open to see the manifestation of that in the human form? I don't know, maybe in time the truth will be revealed to me, but for now, I will be content with the super nova that is the Sun. Merry myself with daydreams filled with the warmness  that comes from being in sync with someone who mirrors you. Content with the idea that surely, if my family members and friends can see its relevance, maybe perhaps, one day I will too... Congratuations to Tammie, "Fat", Phillip, and Kasha, may you have many more enlightening days with your bethrothed, and may the LOVE grow, Grow, and GROW!


She is...
