A/N : My cousin’s wedding was this weekend and they did a salt covenant. So when I saw this prompt, it’s what I thought of.
The audience watched as his mother lit his candle.
They remained silent as her mother lit hers.
Quietly, the groom took his place, awaiting his bride.
Bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the aisle. (Too slowly in the groom’s opinion.)
Finally, the doors were shut again. The bride took her place, awaiting her father, who wouldn’t be showing up.
The music from the organ swelled; the groom’s heart leaped. As the doors finally opened, exposing the woman he loved more than anything, his heart raced.
He watched as she walked herself down the aisle. As soon as he could, he held his hand out for her, waiting for her slender one to slide into his. He chuckled lightly at their matching grins.
They walked delicately toward the rabbi (to his mother’s happiness) and began the beginning of their life together.
