Personal Narrative: A Humorous Wedding

Decent Essays
Yesterday was a day to realize. I think I have been too moody these days. Yesterday, my husband asked what was the matter. I answered that I had no jewel or gem. If I am going to an affair so grand , I need to look like I fit in. He answered me with flowers. A flower is no match for a jewel or a gem in my opinion. I don’t want to look like a pauper. He then suggested going to my friend Madame Forestier to borrow some jewelry. What a wonderful idea I hadn’t thought about. When I arrived at my friend house, I told her about my whole trouble. She then sat me in front of her desk full of jewelry. I saw gold, silver, and lace earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. I kept putting them on like a little kid in a candy store, but there was something

    Zach, the Manager of the Ridgedale Dairy Queen, was my first boss. He’s the kind of guy that I would avoid eye contact with if I were walking across campus alone, over 6 feet, burly, and with big, curly hair and beard. Besides being physically intimidating, he’s loud, he’s opinionated, the very first day he asked me, “So, Maren, what are your politics?” which, unsurprisingly took me, a mousy Minnesota native, aback. I took my time and answered, he looked at me for a moment before spitting out a long response, but the brief surprise that crossed his face as thought out opinions came out of my plump, female, rosy haired and cheeked self didn’t evade me.…

    The bright sunlight descends for the day and across the horizon, twilight is setting a stunning display of kaleidoscopic colors. The colors ricochet off one another chasing the day away. The reddish gold colored fireball, seeming a lifetime ago, had aroused from the eastern sky and now descending into the western hemisphere, yet he is still not home and I begin walking the city streets all alone. Looking like a Weeble wobble toy I aimlessly wander the streets, reminiscing over that perfect night eight months ago.…
