I Vow To You...

Annie looked at herself in the mirror. Her small veil covered her face, her hair was short and lose, though curled and slightly shading to a chocolatey hair strands showing here and there. Her mom had told her she looked like a princess, and for the first time, proud of her to be wearing a dress and not wanting to take it off. All she could do was giggle at the comment and embrace her, not wanting to let go of her yet, since a few tears were already rolling down her cheeks.

Once she heard the entrance song for her, she slowly walked towards the beach, wearing those comfortable white heels she had found at the last minute. Her father looked at her, raised the veil and kissed her cheek. About him, there wasn't much to be said, because his expression could say that he was happy about her little girl; that although very young, Mr. Robles couldn't have seen that spark running through his daughter's smile. They walked down to the altar, right after Paloma dropped white petals on the carpet leading to Andrew...Finally, Alejandro handed his daughter to her future husband, shared a few words in whisper with him, then left to join Edith.

The minister shared a speech, emphasizing on the importance to stay together despite distance, anxieties and whatever problems to be faced in the future. At the end, he let Annie talk, to share her words, her little vow to Andrew:

The first thing we shared was a laugh as we ate ice cream at a snack parlor. From then on, I couldn't see myself without you. I have you as the friend, who'd support me, who'd understand this other passion I have in life. I have you as the man that balances this life into the perfect pieces, who has taught me to share, to care, to love, to be patient. Everyday, I come to realize that I can't live without you. I realized I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I vow to you to stand beside to face challenges together, no matter how hard they are...I'll be faithful, I'll be submissive, loyal, because I love you, and I'll love the life we are about to start together as a family.

She could not say any more words. Annie just went silent and let out a few tears, as she slowly placed Drew's wedding ring on his finger.
