The Big Day Poem by Anthony Daniels

You look towards me patiently awaiting for me to lead the way to the destination. You're anticipation growing uneasy as you become slightly impatient. Time for you seems to be of the essence.
I assure you that what I have planned will be very much worth the wait. So I need you to do me a favor and wait a little bit longer baby, we are almost there.

You look around as your emotions build and start to run a marathon within your mind. Trying to figure me out as I lead you into unfamiliar terrain. You worry what will happen next as the vehicle comes to a stop in front of a beautiful house. The nerves going crazy inside your body as I take your hand to lead you away from the vehicle into the driveway. I tell you to close your eyes tightly and you obey my command. Down on one knee it appears before me, in my hands the diamond ring. You open your eyes in disbelief as I slip the ring onto your finger gently and ask you to marry me.

I await your answer as you stare me down with the tears now forming in yours eyes. For once I cannot get a good read on how you are feeling at all. These few silent seconds seemed to last an eternity for me. The silence broken by your energetic reply as you shouted yes out loud. I rise now to my feet to embrace you with my love on full display for the whole world to see. You look down and giggle as you feel me poke up against your belly. We kiss ever so softly and cherish the moment we are now in.
