QUOTE : I was told<br />The average girl begins to plan her wedding at the age of 7<br />She picks the colors and the cake first<br />By the age of 10 <br />She knows time,<br />And location<br />By 17<br />She’s already chosen a gown<br />2 bridesmaids<br />And a maid of honor<br />By 23 <br />She’s waiting for a man<br />Who wont break out in hives when he hears the word “commitment”<br />Someone who doesn’t smell like a Band-Aid drenched in lonely <br />Someone who isn’t a temporary solution to the empty side of the bed<br />Someone<br />Who’ll hold her hand like it’s the only one they’ve ever seen<br />To be honest<br />I don’t know what kind of tux I’ll be wearing<br />I have no clue what want my wedding will look like<br />But I imagine<br />The women who pins my last to hers<br />Will butterfly down the aisle<br />Like a 5 foot promise<br />I imagine<br />Her smile<br />Will be so large that you’ll see it on google maps<br />And know exactly where our wedding is being held<br />The woman that I plan to marry<br />Will have champagne in her walk<br />And I will get drunk on her footsteps<br />When the pastor asks<br />If I take this woman to be my wife<br />I will say yes before he finishes the sentence<br />I’ll apologize later for being impolite<br />But I will also explain him<br />That our first kiss happened 6 years ago<br />And I’ve been practicing my “Yes”<br />For past 2, 165 days<br />When people ask me about my wedding<br />I never really know what to say<br />But when they ask me about my future wife<br />I always tell them<br />Her eyes are the only Christmas lights that deserve to be seen all year long<br />I say<br />She thinks too much<br />Misses her father<br />Loves to laugh<br />And she’s terrible at lying<br />Because her face never figured out how to do it correctl<br />I tell them<br />If my alarm clock sounded like her voice<br />My snooze button would collect dust <br />I tell them<br />If she came in a bottle<br />I would drink her until my vision is blurry and my friends take away my keys<br />If she was a book<br />I would memorize her table of contents<br />I would read her cover-to-cover<br />Hoping to find typos<br />Just so we can both have a few things to work on<br />Because aren’t we all unfinished?<br />Don’t we all need a little editing?<br />Aren’t we all waiting to be proofread by someone?<br />Aren’t we all praying they will tell us that we make sense <br />She don’t always make sense<br />But her imperfections are the things I love about her the most<br />I don’t know when I will be married<br />I don’t know where I will be married<br />But I do know this<br />Whenever I’m asked about my future wife<br />I always say<br />…She’s a lot like you
