To The New Year:
He stood there looking out the window on this special night. He couldnÕt believe that this moment was happening. This night would be the happiest night of his life. He would be marrying the woman he always loved, the one he could always count on, his best friend, Miss Isabella Brady.
She was sitting there looking in the mirror. Tonight all her dreams would come true. It wasnÕt just another New Year, it was her wedding day. It was just a couple years ago that he proclaimed his love for her and now they would be joining together as one in front of all their friends and family.
ÒKnock, knock,Ó Meems said walking into the room.
ÒMeems,Ó Belle shouted turning around with a single tear down her face.
ÒDonÕt cry, Belle, itÕs your wedding day,Ó Mimi stated.
ÒYour mascara will run,Ó Chloe said walking in behind Mimi.
Both of the young women were in velvet hunter green dresses that came off the shoulders and the dress was more of a tail in the back. Belle stood up from the chair to finish getting ready.
ÒMy precious, Isabella,Ó Marlena weeped coming into the room a half an hour later.
ÒMom,Ó Belle cried again.
ÒYou look like an angel,Ó Marlena told her daughter taking her into a hug.
It was getting closer to midnight and the church was beginning to fill up with friends and family. Shawn was standing in the room beside the chapel where in less than an hour he would marry his one true love. His father had caught the his sonÕs hands shaking and knew he was nervous.
ÒSon, I was the same way when I married your mother,Ó Bo told him putting his hand on his shoulder.
ÒI donÕt know why I am so nervous. I know this is the right thing. From the moment we began dating I knew this day would come. I have dreamt of this day for so long, dad. Now it is here it feels surreal,Ó Shawn explained.
ÒBelieve me, son, it gets better and better as the years go bye,Ó Bo replied.
ÒBelle is the most important thing in my life. Even though I gave up on going into the Merchant Marines to be with her I will never regret it. If I gave her up that would have been my biggest regret.Ó
ÒFrom the day she was born I knew this day would come,Ó John interrupted seeing the nervous groom. ÒI couldnÕt ask for a better man for my Izzy.Ó
ÒThank you,Ó Shawn replied shyly.
ÒBut if you ever hurt her, you will have hell to pay,Ó Brady said pushing himself into the room.
ÒSomehow I knew you would say that,Ó Shawn laughed. ÒAnd I will keep that in mind.Ó
Ten minutes later it was time to get the show on the road. Shawn walked down the isle to his guest with his best man, Phillip following. Then his grooms men came down which were Brady and Eric. The ushers, Austin and Roman guided the last of the friends and family into the chapel when the music began. Walking down the isle were Bo and Hope with the look of sorrow on their faces that their little Shawn D. was getting married.
Then Marlena was seated on the other side of the pew. Finally the wedding was to begin. The guests turned around to see the stunning vision of John Thomas walking down the aisle with his date for the night and his dancing partner, Abigail Deveraux. Then in walked Chloe whose eyes were focused on her love and not on the aisle. The love of her life was staring into those big blue eyes of hers catching that unbelievable smile of hers. Finally in walked Mimi who drew everyone attention. She was a stunning beauty that everyone took notice of. The years have being a shadow to Isabella Black had done Mimi well.
Suddenly the wedding march began and the guests stood and awed at the angel. walking down the aisle with her father. She was an angel to so many people, but tonight on this New YearÕs Eve, she belonged to only one.
ÒWe are gathered here on this New YearÕs Eve to join these two in holy matrimony.. Marriage is something not to take lightly and taking a look at the love in their eyes I can see they take this night very seriously,Ó the Father stated.
Minutes later as the end of the year closed the new year rang in with the kiss sealing the fate of Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Douglas Brady.
ÒI now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride,Ó the Father stated at the stroke of midnight.
ÒHappy New Year, Mrs. BradyÓ Shawn whispered pulling his bride into his arms for the most passionate kiss.
ÒHappy New Year, Mr. Brady,Ó Belle replied after the kiss.
ÒHappy New Year,Ó everyone screamed kissing their loved ones and congratulating the happy couple.
Shawn and Isabella Brady had closed the book on the past mistakes they had made in their relationship, the turmoil and the lies were forgotten that night as they were joined together as one. Shawn knew that to begin his life with Belle, he not only wanted the perfect wedding for his ÔPerfect GirlÕ, but he also wanted the Perfect Night.
ÒTo the New Year,Ó everyone toasted later that night.
ÒTo the New Year,Ó Belle whispered kissing her husband.
ÒThis will be forever more the best New YearÕs I will ever have,Ó Shawn mumbled into her ear.
ÒI feel the same way,Ó Belle kissed her husband.
Shawn and Belle had rang in the New Year becoming husband and wife.
ÒEven if you are alone at night, even if you are lonely on the holidays, remember you will always have angel watching over you tonight,Ó a voice from above them all proclaimed.
The bride and groom along with all the guests knew the sound of that manÕs voice. It was their hero, the one man who taught them the meaning of unconditional love. It was the one and only Dr. Thomas Horton. He knew looking down below that the New Year would bring sorrow to some, and joy to others, but he was watching over them helping them when ever needed. He was their angel and he would always be.
