Remembering
How It Began and Ended by Tom Horonzy
From Beginning to End writing prompt entry

 
 
Do you remember when we first met? A moment in time I shan't forget. Your beauty was something to admire and awakened in me a great desire.

Did fireworks pop in your sky? I don't know, but I had a sparkler sparkling inside me. That was the night a second life began for me to grow from a boy to a man.

It took a month to secure a date, but in the end, you were worth the wait for you did say, "I'll marry you ... if you'll be patient 'til I graduate. See, dad is selling cows to cover my tuition as it is one of his life-long ambitions for his children to earn college degrees. So, can you wait 26 months?" 

"Of course," I agreed, I could, but using my business acumen, I figured out it meant a delay of seven hundred and eighty days, which is inhuman to have a man wait that long to consummate a marriage. 

It was rather disparaging, but we both endured and were happily married in the end. "I am right, aren't I, dear?"


Writing Prompt

Completing a task, a dream or reaching a goal can happen, and did. I was ten years senior to my nineteen-year-old wife to be. As Rocky said in his first of the sequel, "I did it, Adrian." By the way, that is not my wife's name.
