He asked for her hand in marriage, she said yes. Theirs would be would be a story filled with love, but as we all know love can get lost in the middle of all the happenings around us.
The young lovers agreed on their wedding date, they chose everything together. He was as active in the planning as she was, as he wanted to spend as much time besides her as he could. They went to an old bakery in their home town. This bakery had a History of their wedding cakes, and the old lady made each cake to tell a story of the couple.
The couple shared their love story and the old woman listened to music as she carved the frame of the cake, and her hands spoke of words, unspoken. It was as if she was not listening to the young couple, as they went ahead sharing their love story and laughing in-between. For she was wise she could read between the lines.
The wedding day came and the cake was perfect, as each layer of the cake represented something the couple had shared with the old lady. They exchanged their vows and everyone celebrated with them. It was their dream day, everything went according to plan. The cake was going to be enjoyed by everyone after a year on their first year anniversary.
Months went by and the couple were approaching their first year anniversary and they had to take their and go to a venue they had hired out to share the cake with the rest of their family and friends. On their way to the venue their car had a problem and strange enough, they could not get help, because they has lost network. They were stuck in the middle of the road; the panic started taking its tow on the couple. The husband suggested they make the most of it, and take out their cake in the middle of the road and have their own celebration.
So it was, the played their wedding songs and started dancing and eating the cake. They decided to turn their bad situation into a funny one. They took pictures of each other and their cake right in the middle of the road, where they took turns to remove it when cars approached. It was an anniversary made from heaven on earth. Their love proved that even in the middle of the road, where its far forward and equally far backwards, we still have choices. Love is not only found in perfection ,love is where the hearts are.
