A Burning Tale

I can not describe how happy I am to write this down. My hand softly trembles out of joy as I write these words. If I would have to describe this day I could only find one word: Unforgettable!

The 29nth of August. Oh I won't ever forget this. But let me start from the beginning.
I woke up well rested and with a soft smile towards the other side of our bed where Gloriosa slept peacefully. I carefully stood up and walked into the bathroom to do my morning routine. After that I made some breakfast and brought it to Gloriosa as she woke up.

"Good Morning, Sweetheart"

I said with a very lovely smile as I presented the plate of breakfast. She yawned as she opened her eyes and gently smiled back.

"Good Morning, my Love"

She then replied before noticing the plate I held towards her.

"Aww that's so sweet of you, Sweetie"

I placed the plate on her lap and gave her a sweet kiss. I sat down at the edge of the bed as she started to eat. It took a few minutes until she finished her breakfast and got out of bed. I went out to prepare the breakfast for the campers. On the way to the kitchen I came across Joshua, one of our fellow campers. I was surprised to see him awake already so I approached him.

"Morning, Josh. What keeps you awake?"

I asked with a curious undertone as I sat down next to him on the bench.

"Oh you know, just wanted to enjoy the view of the rising sun."

He replied as he stared towards the horizon. I followed his point of view and saw the beautiful sun rising behind a row of trees.

"It sure is nice and relaxing out here, eh?"

I said as we both watched the rising sun. I sighed relaxed as the sunrise calmed me down and I took a deep breath of the fresh air.

"This is just wonderful... Watching the early sun rising over the camp, watching us throughout the day... Ahh, it's beautiful living here."

My view wandered towards the dock where Gloriosa and I already prepared our wedding altar.

"Hey, Josh?..."

I asked a little nervous as I looked over to him.

"...do you think you could take the part of the priest this evening, since you know.."

before I could finish my sentence Joshua interupted me.

"Oh, of course I can. I'd be honoured to."

He said with a gentle smile. I sighed relieved and smiled as well, knowing that it wouldn't take very long anymore.

"Well. I should get going now. Your breakfast won't make itself."

I said with a friendly chuckle before continuing towards the kitchen, where I made the breakfast. The rest of the day was pretty quiet. We took a quick hike through the forest's path to collect trash and take notes on various things.

I was nervous again as I stood at the altar with my smoking on, waiting for the organist to announce Gloriosa's arrival. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours and hours felt like an eternity. I was very nervous and happy to stand where I did. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and counted to three to calm myself down as the organist began playing the wedding march. I smiled happily as I saw Gloriosa walking up to the altar in her very beautiful wedding dress and stopped besides me.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! We are gathered here this evening to witness the marriage of Gloriosa Daisy and Lucky Flame."

Joshua started his speech.

"In front of God's gaze I ask you, Lucky Flame, do you want to love and honor Gloriosa Daisy through good and bad times, through rain and storms?"

I nodded nervously but happy and answered proudly.

"I do."

He turned towards Gloriosa and smiled at her as well.

"And I also ask you, Gloriosa Dasiy, do you want to love and honor Lucky Flame through good and bad times, through rain and storms?"

Gloriosa nodded as well and answered happily.

"I do"

Joshua turned around to pick up the soft little pillow with our rings on it. We both took each other's ring and slided it onto our fingers.

"I hereby pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the Bride now."

I smiled brightly as I pulled Gloriosa close to kiss her passionately. After a while we softly broke the kiss and turned towards the crowd before walking out under loud bells. We celebrated the whole night and it was simply amazing.
