Wedding Day

[aggienaut]

4/18 - 2349 active cases in Australia - 53 new in the last 24 hours
4/19 - 2306 active cases in Australia - 41 new in the last 24 hours
4/20 - 2290 active cases in Australia - 26 new in the last 24 hours

   In some alternate reality where no one took a particular bat to a seafood market in Wuhan, Chima, on Nobemver 17th, I would be in Nassau, Bahamas. Probably getting ready for a very exciting day. Perhaps I'd already be on the beach now, but being as as present moment it is 7:20am there, more likely in a few hours. A few hours from now, but quite possibly while you are reading this, I would be standing in the soft sand of a Bahamian beach beside Cristina. It's a bit warm, in the 80s today, but I'm sure it would be nice on the beach. I'd be wearing a nice guyabera and slacks. She'd be wearing a nice white dress. My parents would be in attendance. A man named Robert would be presiding, who looks like a nice jovial black minister, and I would look into Cristina's large sparkling eyes, her smile would be radiant, and I'd say "I do."

   Today was supposed to be our wedding day.

   Like Ms Haversham, I'm wearing my nice white guyabera today. Cristina, she's wearing scrubs and a mask today, because she's at work at the hospital and there's a pandemic on.

My heart cries for you both. You deserve some major windfall for all of this. I really hope you two will soon be able not only to get married but to live a good, happy, long life together!

I hope it is not put off for too long for you!
And, best wishes on it when it does happen!

Hoping so hard that windows will open in the not too distant future and then doors and you'll be able to step out towards each other.
Yours is the second wedding I know that has not happened due to to the virus. It makes me so sad.

I’m sorry. You two have worked so hard for this, it’s really like...turning into a real Romeo and Juliet story, really. Star-crossed lovers, hit with every obstacle possible, all along the way.

Which is why I hold out good faith that you will get your wedding, at some future point. And when you do, it’s going to be such a gob-smacking romantic affair, there won’t be a dry eye in the house, or reading livejournal.

I'm so sorry it didn't happen. I hope it won't be too long before it becomes a reality. You two are a super cute couple!

I'm really sorry for you both. That sucks. I hope you won't have to postpone it too far into the future.

[crazy-mich.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that really sucks, I'm sorry :(

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Your day will come. I wish the best for the two of you.

[picosgemeos.livejournal.com]

In that alternate reality, I'm congratulating you both, and wishing you a lot of happiness... actually, in this reality too. :-)

I'm sorry. I hope you find a way to reschedule it sooner rather than later.
