It was a happy occasion.
Everything went very well. A beautiful
bride and a handsome groom dressed in his Marine Corp dress blues.
I really like the bride. Besides being beautiful and smart she
is driven and has a plan for the future.
Such optimism and enthusiasm. The world and opportunity await them. She
seems to be a strong woman, which is good, as the road ahead will not be easy.
Thomas is happy and proud.
As he should be. His future is locked with the Marine’s for
the next two years. It will give him time
to further mature, which is a good thing.
He is already scheduled for another six month deployment nest August.
His choice for a best man was questionable. His best man speech included calling Thomas a
fucking pussy for the way he walked. He
seemed intent on fulfilling every rough and tumble hard-drinking Marine
stereotype he could manage. Such wisdom
coming from a 25 year old.
The couple made the long drive to Jacksonville, NC with all
of their worldly belongings in an old station wagon and a pickup truck. They arrived at 2 a.m. to an empty apartment to
start their adventure.
