a snow flake in sight. The usual blizzards of Wisconsin held off just for our ceremony that night. The ceremony was held in the Mitchell Park domes which are botanical gardens. Three scenic domes with a desert, tropical, and Show dome. The show dome was decorated with poinsettia plants, greenery from the christmas season and a christmas tree so high you had to tilt your head to see the shining star on top. You could just tell how breathtaking the ceremony, decorations, and reception atmosphere was going to be. As I was standing there, anxiously waiting, dapperly dressed in my military dress uniform. She walked in the dome and graciously made her way down the bowed isle as the string trio performed Pachelbel's Canon in D. She wore a fitted ivory mermaid dress that had pearls and beads sewn around the underbust with a large bow on the side with more beading and sequence wrapped around the center of it. She held a bouquet of 25 white, fresh, and classy calla lilly flowers that was fastened by pearl pins. She finally reached the altar and teared up from seeing each other for the first time that day. I took her hand and then we started the ceremony. We stood under a white heart shaped metal arch decorated in green vines as our ceremony was conducted by the assistant pastor of our attending church. He stood directly in front of us as he delivered a wonderful bilingual sermon for both our Spanish and English speaking guests. I was petrified of the thought of passing out in front of my loved ones but I held on to the thought of kissing my wife. The pastor directed us to turn and face each other and led us through our

    As the music changed, a small boy of seven years old came hurried down the aisle holding a lighter. He walked right past us to the small table and lit the two lower candles. The only thing on his mind was getting his job done without burning down the house with his lighter. Following directly after him was the procession of bridesmaids. The first bridesmaid walked down the aisle, she was a friend of the bride. Right after her followed the second bridesmaid, her niece.

    Mowing begins with the statement of a fact, followed by a question —a scythe whispering to the ground and "what was it whispered?". Thus hinting at the theme of the poem, the poet develops it through a series of comments and providing a provisional answers to the initial question. There is a touch of humour in the poem. The lines move on in a casual colloquial manner, floating rhythmically like a man talking to himself.…

    First we needed to choose the date. My mother told me she wanted me to be presented at the church and receive a blessing before my party. Then we looked at many halls for the reception, and I chose 14 girls and boys to participate as damas and chambelanes. They were to accompany me on my special day and dance a waltz with me as my court of honor. I chose tuxedos for the chambelanes and a formal dress for the damas. Two months before, we met at my house to learn the waltz.…

    March 29, 2010 was the date of my big celebration. Before my party, months and months of planning took place before everything was done. Finding the perfect dress, the reception, decorations and much more was not an easy task. Three months till my Quinceanera and I still had not found my dress in which I would feel like a princess in. We came across a small boutique, and luckily, the very first dress the manger suggested I fell in love with. As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the perfect dress, and looking for a dress was now off my list. A beautiful white strapless ball gown with sparkly coral accents was sure to impress my guests. Looking for the right reception was a much easier decision as I chose to have it at The Marriot Hotel by the beach in Ventura, CA.…

    The poem “Acquainted with the Night” was written by Robert Frost and was published in 1928. Robert Frost 's poetry is able to paint images in our mind with his diction, using symbolisms that can be interpreted many different ways. We get glimpses of every day scenes featuring every day people. We also get a picture of the very troubled and depressed Frost himself. When reading Frost 's poetry, it is recommended to consider the use of the melancholy tone and obsession with death, loneliness and sorrow. Robert Frost had many losses in his personal life and business. Some might not know this but Frost suffered from Tuberculosis. This disease not only affects your ability to breath, lowers your immune system, and steals your energy; it also causes sleeplessness, nervousness, and a deep sense of melancholy.…

    My family, including my dad, my grandpa, my two uncles, my sister, and I all drove one mile down the road to our Lake to appreciate the rest of the sublime day, as we were laughing and smiling to our heart's content.

We put our swimming suits on, accumulated our fishing poles and gear, our roasting sticks to cook the hot dogs, and a bag of saccharine marshmallows. On the way toward our destination, we sang many…

    Tomorrow I get married. You looked at yourself in the mirror, wearing your veil and holding your bouquet. You were still wearing your clothes from earlier that day which made for a strange combination with the fine lace draped on your hair and the calla lilies in your hands. It was a sight to take in and, somehow, made it seem very real and frightening.…

    The day started in a small where a small prayer was held before we headed out to the reception. My cousin sat at the front in her big blue, poofy dress while the guests all sat in the pews behind her waiting for the sermon to begin. The priest went through the prayer pretty quickly and my family and I rushed to the reception hall to make sure everything was ready by the time the guests arrived. My cousin was to arrive at a later time with her court of chambelanes. When I entered the reception hall, I was astonished by how beautiful everything looked. It resembled a disco ball with mirrors all around, even on the ceiling; the tables were covered in all white table cloths with a small blue centerpiece to match the quinceañera's dress; there were probably more balloons than there was people and the chandelier in the center of the dance floor brought the whole place together with its luxurious dripping crystals. When it was time for my cousin to arrive, a long, white Hummer stretch limo dropped her and her chambelanes off. As she entered, she greeted the few guests that had already arrived. With the light shining on her, she looked like Cinderella in her light blue dress which shined from all the glitter and diamonds it was covered…
